Full Training (Includes Board) – $1500/mo

Programs are tailored to each individual’s specific goals and horse’s needs. Training sessions (this number will vary depending on each horse and rider’s situation) help in identifying the rider’s goals and establishing a show calendar / timeline. Training also includes two weekly lessons on your show horse or a lesson horse at the discretion of the trainer as well as:

  • Preparation of horse and post-ride care
  • Trimming of ears, nose, and legs
  • Barn supplies (grooming, medical, therapeutic, etc)

  • Back-On-Track Blanket
  • Ice Therapy
  • Turn-out, lunging, or hand-walking
  • Weekly laundry (towels, wraps, saddle pads, and sport boots)
  • Management of veterinary and farrier care
  • Guidance in purchasing equipment (saddles, bridles, blankets, etc)

**We make every effort to accommodate all riders but strictly adhere to a weight limit for each of our horses. Riders shall weigh no more than 20% of the horse’s body weight, not including tack (horse’s condition and ability may dictate a departure from this rule, at the trainer’s discretion. Due to this, not all riders may be able to ride all lesson horses). This is for the safety of both the rider and horse.**
