Alden Hanes
Assistant Manager, Riding Instructor
Close friend to Jessica Rodgers, though for most of their lives they lived miles apart have joined together to create a place where people can learn more about horses. Currently enrolled in Northwest Missouri State University, majoring in Animal Science.
Her mother, Elisabeth Ruyter, rescued thoroughbreds off the track, trained them for hunter/jumper and gave riding lessons to young kids on what people had called "crazy horses." Which is where Alden's love of large horses and training children stemed from.
Alden had a strong history in Halter Classes, Equatation, and Trail Riding, with a working knowledge of hunter/jumper and western pleasure.
