Through patience, understanding and natural skill,  Kryl has a natural ability to assess  and correct horses with issues and/or problems. Drawing on a vast knowledge and  diverse background from working with  Pintos, Arabians, Tennessee Walkers, Rocky Mountains, Saddlebreds, Apaloosas, and Thoroughbred race horses, she does not utilize a cookie-cutter approach but looks at each equine individually and customizes a program to fit both the horse, issue and rider.
