Full-Care • Training Horses • Self-Care • Trainer Lease Opportunities

We are excited to announce that Transitions Equestrian Center now has stalls available for full-care boarders, training horses, and self-care boarders, along with a limited number of stalls available for lease to professional trainers.

If you believe your program would be a great fit, we would love to hear from you.

🌟 Zips Lacey Girl (Lacey) 🌟
2018 Black AQHA Mare | 15.3 hands | Located at Transitions Equestrian Center in LaPorte, Indiana

Lacey is a stunning 8-year-old coal black AQHA mare with a soft, willing personality and a classy presence in the show ring. She has been ridden and shown by professionals, an adult amateur, and a beginner youth rider, giving her excellent experience with a variety of riders.

She has competed at large venues such as MSU in Western Dressage, Ranch Riding, Trail, and All-Around classes, and has recently been started on her flying lead changes.

Lacey generally has more “whoa” than go, but when she is coming into heat, she can be a bit sensitive or moody, so she is best suited for an intermediate to advanced rider who appreciates a responsive mare with plenty of ability.

She is 6-panel negative, barefoot, up to date on vaccinations, and has recent dental work. She is also regularly seen by a chiropractor and massage therapist for routine upkeep. Lacey has excellent ground manners, requires no maintenance, and is an easy keeper.

She was treated for EPM in the past but made a full recovery and continues to perform beautifully under saddle.

💫 Video available upon request. PLEASE message us through private message or on the Transitions original post. Not on the shared post comments. The ad is cross posted on multiple different groups and we do not want to miss your comment


💫 Asking price: $10,🥕🥕🥕 (negotiable)

🇳🇱✨🎉 We wrapped up the clinic in true Transitions style — with smiles, laughter, and some unforgettable moments in the arena! ✨

Esther and Stephanie finally got a chance to play with some of our Transitions performance horses — and what a blast we had! They spent time with my Andalusian Invictus, and the famous Legendary Prodigy and Dolci Vita of Majestic Friesians, owned by Lori Brock. From the Spanish walk to the pedestal, sitting on the beanbag, rearing, bowing, laying down, and more — these two dove right in and had the best time. Videos in the next post. 💜


And of course, it would not have been complete without checking something off their bucket list — riding a western horse! So, we set them up with nothing but the best: Deb B’s stunning Reiner, R***r. 💫

We laughed nonstop, shared stories, and had so much fun finally spending time together after waiting years to make it happen. I am so glad it finally did — and hopefully, I will be joining them in Germany sooner rather than later! 🇩🇪❤️

Esther is planning to return to Transitions in April or May, and we cannot wait to do it all again!
If you would like to reserve a spot early, message us — we will be offering discounts for early sign-ups.

🐴✨ Thank you, Esther and Stephanie, for the memories — and to everyone who helped make this weekend so special.

🇳🇱✨ What an incredible weekend with Esther Liano and Stephanie Dietrich! ✨🇳🇱

We were honored to welcome world-renowned Friesian rider and trainer Esther Liano all the way from the Netherlands to Transitions Equestrian Center — along with Stephanie Dietrich, who brought her fascinating Equistic System to add a whole new dimension of insight into our rides.

We had a full clinic!! Every single student learned so much from Esther’s teaching. Her eye for detail, feel for each horse, and ability to help riders find softness and balance was absolutely inspiring. Stephanie’s work with the Equistic motion analysis gave us valuable, science-backed feedback to support everything we were learning in the saddle.

It was such an amazing experience having both of these phenomenal Horseman at Transitions, — and we are so grateful to everyone who participated, watched, and helped make this clinic such a success.

💫 The best part? Esther and Stephanie are hoping to return to Transitions in April or May! If you would like to work with her next time, please let us know early. We will be offering early sign-up discounts for those who reserve their spots in advance.

It was soooooo sweet of Esther gave us this gorgeous statue of her riding ❤️🖤❤️

Thank you again to all of our riders, auditors, and supporters for making this weekend unforgettable. We already cannot wait to do it again! 🖤🐴
