Questions We Hear Often

Before youreach out.

Our program is built for riders who have already established a confident jumping foundation, typically schooling 2'6" or higher. We evaluate each rider individually to make sure the program is the right fit.

Both options are welcome. Many of our riders own their own horses, while others lease or purchase through our sales program with the guidance of our trainers.

Full training riders typically ride four to five days per week, with a mix of lessons, flatwork, and conditioning. Custom schedules are available for collegiate and working riders.

We compete throughout the West Coast circuit, including HITS Coachella, Blenheim, and Del Mar, plus destination circuits like Traverse City and the indoor finals on the East Coast for qualifying riders.
