Our main philosophy is to take our time developing young horses at their own
pace. The majority of these horses are offered for sale.

Some breeders send us their horses with
the view of us giving the horse a solid base so he can be sold and succeed in
sport. For these breeders we work with them to make a win-win situation
for all involved, including the horse.
Other breeders send us their horses to
determine if the horses have the potential to compete at the Grand Prix level in
show jumping. These breeders appreciate our honesty when we tell them the
horse will be happier as an amateur horse at lower levels and the horse is then
sold. Those horses that show the potential and desire to compete at higher
levels continue their development with us.
We take a holistic approach to training that involves teaching
the horses to have impeccable ground manners, willing attitudes, enjoyment of
their work and providing them with a solid base from which to develop into their
full potential and lead happy and productive lives in the discipline that they
are best suited for - Jumpers, Hunters, Dressage or Eventing.
Training a horse is not just riding. The better the ground
manners, the better their performance, the better the horses' understanding of
what is expected of them and that helps horses lead happier lives.
Helping horses lead happier lives is what it is all about - one
horse at a time.
We limit the number of horses under the Young Horse Development program which allows us to give each horse the attention they require.
