Burgeon Sport Horses

Burgeon Sport Horses Burgeon Training offers Dressage and Jumping, breaking training for young sport horses as well as pr Lisa with Burgeon Training has fulfilled that gap.

Lisa Rivas has built her reputation specializing in training young sport horses over the last 10 years. Over the last decade many trainers and breeders have come to see the benefits of how 'Natural Horsemanship' and classic 'cowboy' style training can be beneficial to young sport horses. Though, there has still existed a gap and lack of understanding in the transition from 'breaking' to beginning

flatwork and work over fences. From birth Lisa was raised on a 2500 acre cattle ranch in San Jose CA. Here is where Lisa learned the importance of having a solid and well rounded horse for both work and pleasure. Around 2003 Lisa took on a full time position for nationally known trainer and clinician Charles Wilhelm whom specialized in young horses and problem horses. This was an invaluable education where Lisa learned to think outside the box and focus on what individual basics each horses required. Always interested in Eventing and Dressage Lisa turned to Alexis Helffrich (upper level Event rider and trainer) to close the gap between the two worlds. Starting out with just weekly lessons Lisa spent the next 7 years as Alexis assistant trainer. Learning from such an educated and extremely talented trainer Lisa learned the art of teaching young horses confidence over fences and into the show ring. Closing the gap between 'green youngsters' too seasoned show horse. Lisa has always kept in mind that the best athletes are horses that are continually educated to be well rounded and are continually exposed to work in and out of the arena. Regardless of their specific discipline; the Dressage horses should be happy to go outside and gallop and the Event horses should also be relaxed enough to walk down the trail. Lisa will now put her roots down in San Martin California and hone all three legs of her training program. After the birth of her daughter in March 2015 Lisa will pursue her goals in both dressage and Eventing.

available to the perfect person!
Located in Livermore CA.
Scotch has TONS of personality, pep, and comic relief! Scotch would be best matched with someone who enjoys the journey of bringing a young horse along who is not in a hurry. Loves to be clipped, loads in the trailer and stand at the patient post. 4 shows under his belt so far (dressage, HJ and 2 Events at intro). California bred and raised. Scotch is not a finished show horse but well on his way. Calling all my palomino fans out there!!!
