Biography: Greg Czech is the owner/operator of KC Training and Equine Services. Along with his wife Terry, Greg has been training, teaching and coaching for well over 20 years. Greg is fortunate to have been able to work with numerous different breeds of horses over the years. It certainly has given him a different perspective in terms of movement, willingness , versatility and overall usability. Training horses has been the love for Greg, but the real passion and fulfillment is being able to help people get along better with their horse. Greg's clinics reflect that passion. Learning in a fun, productive and safe manor is the ultimate goal. When working with horses, you should learn a little about your horse and a lot about yourself.
