Where Passion & Knowledge Gallop Together

Welcome to VTR SportHorses

My name is Vanessa Rundquist, owner and trainer of VTR SportHorses LLC. I have been riding horses for 25 years and have 13 years of experience working professionally in the horse industry. After showing on the rated circuits and working as an Equine Nutrition Sales Rep for Nutrena Feeds, I embarked on the journey of retraining off the track racehorses.

I fell in love with each phase of the training process, from groundwork and horsemanship to finding the right nutrition plans to support our training goals and sharing this knowledge and experience with my lesson students.
