...a quiet mare just started in dressage...to a ‘been-there-done-that’ 3rd Level dressage showman...to a retiring well-trained broodmare ready to be pampered by a new family...to a well-started 4-year-old anxious for more advanced jump courses...to a flashy colt looking to leave his mark on the performance circuit.

 

All of our horses have impeccable ground manners, great conformation, great gaits and great dispositions.  All have been professionally started and trained to various levels of skill — they’re ready for you to take the rest of the way!

 

We concentrate on getting a quiet, solid start using classical dressage training techniques.  With this classical start, horses can easily make the transition to more advanced training in a variety of discipline(s).

 

We are committed to responsible breeding, rearing, training and marketing practices.
