(As dictated by Apples to Jeff,
who, according to Susan,
doesn't always hear exactly what was said.)

    When I first met Greg McVey, my trainer, I was a wild range bronc who could jump the corral fence from a flat-footed start. At the slightest starting noise, I could go from 0 to 40 mph in 5 seconds regardless of who was dragging behind on the lead rope. Then, after what seemed like months of captivity and training by Greg and Robert (love at first sight - on his part), I learned to be a calm saddle horse that can be ridden by little old ladies from Pasadena. I do want to apologize for beating up on Mr. Turner when we were corral mates and I had all my body parts. And I know I am not supposed to admit this in public, but that conceited Olenas Pirate on page 1 is my younger half-brother.

Signed,

Apples (a.k.a. ‘El Gato')

    Greg McVey is a fine horseman and trainer.  I had the experience to assist Greg in training my horse, that I got from Jeff and Susan.  Greg does very fine work.  My horse Apples, was two and a half, when Greg first started working with him.  Apples had to be herded into the trailer the day he was taken to Greg's place for training, and within the first week, you could actually get your hands on him and pet him nearly all over.  Again, Apples would run from you in the pasture; there was no way to touch him until  after Greg started him.  I plan to finish Apples as a cutting horse, and am very pleased with the quality of training that Greg produces.  Greg produces high quality training, and is straight forward with the progress that is made.   I really liked working with Greg, and I am now training horses in Las Cruces, NM using Greg's methods.  The people I work for like the way I train, and I told them I learned from Greg McVey!!  As a  owner and having had the chance to learn from Greg, I would let nobody else train my horses.
