Wendy Malone and Gary Locke, Owners

Wendy Malone was raised on a foundation Quarter Horse and cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon. At the age of 18, she began her horse training career as an apprentice to a Native American horse trainer who taught her how to understand and gently train wild horses. She spent three years studying wild mustangs in their natural habitat in Eastern Oregon. During the following 25 years she learned from and trained with some of the top 10 trainers in the U.S.

Her experience includes training and showing two year old snaffle bit futurity American Quarter Horse Association horses at San Francisco's Cow Palace, training AQHA racehorses at New Mexico's Ruidoso Downs, working the Pattersons' 300 Arabian brood mare barn, and working for five years as an equine veterinarian's assistant in Oregon.

Wendy trained a variety of U.S. breeds, in both English and Western styles, on show ranches in the western states before she moved to Montana. For more than a decade, she has owned and operated the Spotted Fawn Paint and Quarter Horse Ranch, where she raises American Paint Horse Association and American Quarter Horses for show, performance, pleasure and ranch work.

Wendy has written articles for two separate Western Horse magazines published in Germany, for the Peruvian Paso magazine published in English and Spanish, for the Natural Horse magazine, made the definitive foal imprinting instructional video tape "MEMBER OF THE HERD" in May 1998, has shared the headliner space in Equine Expos with Cleve Wells and other great trainers of modern times.

She has also written a true story about the extraordinary bond between her and a magnificent wild horse, "Stormy". It is currently in the hands of a number of publishers and movie makers, but not yet published.

Communicating with horses was a God given talent she received at birth, and she is always willing to share her knowledge with all who ask. She is an exceptional teacher and trainer. Published Cowboy Poet, John Dial put it ever so succinctly when he wrote the following...

THE TRAINER

She calms the wild spirit with soft words
and work roughened, gentle hands,
touching the trembling flank,
softly stroking in concert with secrets
whispered in the silken ear that hears
and understands…"She is one of us."
Equine spirits in misty valleys of eons past
know her, this whispering leader of ancient herds.

Tousled hair bleached blond
by scores of Montana summer suns,
Crow's feet born of a thousand smiles,
pale blue eyes that see and understand
while we can only marvel at the seeming magic
of pinned ears and wild eye
transformed into quiet acquiescence.

Friends touched by her generous
and warm heart know her as Wendy,
but those whose equine ancestors
roamed the ancient grassy plains
and misty valleys know her as
their kindred spirit, the Whisperer.
