About Our Horses
We are often asked, “Where do you buy your school horses?” The truth is we believe the very best school horses cannot be purchased but must be developed and cultivated over time. It takes a long time for a horse to develop trust in the handler and the handler to develop trust in the horse. It takes even longer for this trust to extend to a new and unfamiliar rider.
Many of our school horses came to us through our rescue and have been rehabilitated before beginning training to enter our riding program. We believe that every horse deserves a 'second chance' and these horses can go on to teach us valuable lessons both in and out of the saddle.
