Black Lightning Horses Inc. is the home of Petra Buttner who came to Canada after working many years in the horse industry in Germany. It is a magnificent facility located between Milton and Rockwood and only minutes away from Guelph, Georgetown, Campbellville and Acton.
Petra got her certification as equine trainer and coach for Dressage, Jumping and Eventing in Germany after apprenticing with two professional coaches (Berufsreitlehrer) from the Riding Institute of Egon von Neindorff (Reitinstitut Egon von Neindorff) in Karlsruhe. The three-year apprenticeship program is government regulated and finishes with a degree as professional coach and trainer (Bereiter). Petra also holds a MBA in computer science, economics and business management as well as a diploma in holistic remedies for animals.
In 2000 Black Lightning Horses Inc. was founded with the focus on supplying the principles of the classical Dressage to Canadian riders. A small band of imported broodmares and a Warmblood stallion are the realization of Petra's dream to breed, train and sell high quality show horses. Owner Petra Buttner offers as German certified coach the best available coaching and training in classical Dressage from Basic Level to Grand Prix.
