Ryan StrandRyan Strand started Liberty Meadows in 2000, and has been going strong ever since. From a family of horsemen, he has developed a philosophy that works not only with the horses he trains, but with his clients as well. "I want to help people achieve their goals, and what I have found is that most people get into horses and showing because they want to have fun and become better riders." Having been a student of many talented trainers, Ryan brings knowledge and skill not only to his training program, but also to the area of sales and marketing.
