Training / Sales Board

Debi has ridden at the Advanced level of eventing and through Prix St. George dressage.  She also has extensive experience training young horses and thoroughbreds off the track.  Please refer to the People page for more details on her riding experience and qualifications.

Horses in training with Debi are ridden exclusively by her with a minimum of 4 rides per week.  They are turned out approximately 12 hrs/day in small groups.  Private paddock turn-out is available for an additional fee.

If an owner also wishes to sell a horse, the standard training board fee applies as well as a 5% sales commission when the horse sells. Expenses related to advertising and showing are the responsibility of the owner.

Special consideration may be given to experienced dressage or event horses that are currently showing at the upper levels.

Please contact Debi for additional details.
