ABOUT DAYBREAK HORSE COMPANY
My name is Mattie Sundt and I am a horse trainer based out of Northeast Colorado. As a lifelong horse enthusiast, I have dedicated my career to helping horses achieve their full potential (see my resume here).
​
Growing up riding, I learned the value of hard work, patience, and respect when it comes to working with horses. These values have stayed with me throughout my career and have helped me develop a unique approach to horse training that is both effective and compassionate.
​
My training philosophy focuses on building a strong foundation of trust and communication between horse and rider. By understanding each horse's individual needs and personality, I am able to tailor my training methods to create a personalized plan that works for both horse and rider.
​
Whether you are a seasoned horseman without the time or inclination to train your horse or a beginner just starting out, I am here to help you achieve your goals. So if you're ready to start your horse’s journey towards becoming a trustworthy, reliable partner -- let's get started!
