🎉🎉We opened our barn doors one year ago today!! 🎉🎉

It’s been an amazing year of transformation - building out our facility; hiring an amazing team; selecting, importing, and training quality horses; raising our 2024 foal crop; hosting several top clinicians, and showing at numerous venues.

None of this would be possible without our incredible head trainer, Laura Abner. Over the last 22 years Laura has developed horses from Training Level to Grand Prix, shown 38 different horses in 316 classes, won numerous Regional Open Championships, and ranked highly at the USDF Dressage Finals. She is well respected nationally and internationally and we know she is well on her way to the top! We are so honored that she has chosen Zia as her home. 🥰

We look forward to the upcoming year when we will continue to build out our facility (can’t wait for the covered arena!), import more quality horses, raise our 2025 foal crop, and show extensively. Please reach out if you would like to take lessons from or have your horse trained by Laura, or if you are interested in any of our top quality imports or youngsters.
