Full Training programs are offered for clients that are specifically customized to suit both the horse and rider's needs in order to create a harmonious and successful partnership in a positive, fun, and supportive, atmosphere. While many of her students own and ride lovely Warmbloods and Gypsy Horses, Stacy has much success working with other non-traditional dressage breeds. She recognizes the special physical needs and personality differences of each breed and tailors the training program accordingly.

All lessons are personally instructed by Stacy Sutton, from the beginner rider wishing to learn correct basic riding skills to the competitive minded rider who strives to actively compete in Dressage or Breed Shows. Stacy enjoys specializing in both the amateur adult rider as well as young riders (ages 6 thru 18 years old) from Introductory to Second levels. Stacy takes into consideration that riders come in all builds, body types and abilities, and her instruction is tailored to each rider's capability and riding goals.

Although the majority of the riders Stacy instructs own their own horses, some safe and gentle school horses are available to riders and those wishing to eventually purchase their own horse. Trailer-in students are always welcome.

Stacy primarily instructs Dressage but additionally offers lessons and clinics to Western Dressage riders, Eventing, Hunter and Jumper, Western and English Pleasure enthusiasts, as what she teaches applies to all forms of correct riding and equitation.
