Patty "PJ" Cooksey, second all time winningest female jockey, and inductee into the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame says, "When I get on these wonderful animals and I know that Ackel has broken the horse using this amazing technique, I have no doubts as to whether or not this horse is mentally prepared and will respond immediately to what I ask it to do. This makes them a joy to ride every time."

Buddy Ryan, former coach of the 1985 Super Bowl Champions, the Chicago Bears, and member of the Football Hall of Fame. "I am just amazed at how this works. If I had to relate this technique to something I understood as a leader to the players on the field, it's that it is far better for them to want to perform than for me to try to make them perform. When they want it, they can be champions."

William "Buff" Bradley, an owner for more than twenty years and a licensed trainer on the Kentucky racing circuit for ten years, has produced multiple stakes winning horses in his career. "I have found that the method used by Ackel's Breaking has been the most beneficial for my operation. This method not only prepares for me a well broke horse, but one that is mentally prepared to move forward in his racing career and perform to the best of his ability. I believe the biggest advantage to this technique is that it does not put as much stress on the horse physically, therefore allowing the horse to learn in a more positive way."

Dr. Terry Pike DVM, veterinarian and a member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners says, "With this technique keeping the horses calm and prepared for the stages of training, they do not undergo much of the physical stress often related to a more traditional style of breaking. I see much less injuries that a horse might typically incur during the breaking process."

Maria Kabel, a 15 year veteran exercise rider and show horse rider for 25 years says, "I have ridden for many different horse owners and trainers, all who have different methods of breaking a horse. I believe Ackel's Breaking has the best method for preparing the young horses. It doesn't matter what part of the sport the horse will be used for such as racing, jumping or pleasure riding, the method developed and used by Ackel's Breaking gives you a well broke and a mentally prepared horse that is ready to move forward and please."
