MEET GEORGE AGUEL
Horse Trainer & Nutritionist
A deep commitment and passion for horses was instilled in George from an early age. George was raised on a 250 horse breeding and training farm in California, where he was sculpted by great trainers and veterinarians into the knowledgeable horseman and clinician he is today. He has trained and developed numerous horses and riders that have become champions in a variety of disciplines as well as wonderful partners.
George’s desire to produce top performance horses and meticulous horse care naturally lead him down the path of horse nutrition. Through extensive course work and in close collaboration with veterinarians, George has developed a comprehensive and individualized approach to equine nutrition.
George also has an affinity for rehabilitating horses. He enjoys the redeveloping of the laid-off equine athlete and watching them return to athletic performance in more superior form than pre-injury.
This multifaceted approach is what sets George Aguel and Caliber Equine aside from other training and rehabilitation programs.
