Spring has sprung! And it means we are in need of some extra mowing and general project help around the farm. No horse experience or equipment required, flexible hours, can pay or can trade for lessons on your own horse (or some combination thereof). This would be a great after school/summer gig for a kid.

We return from Florida next week! And we have ONE full training stall available at our stunning Marshall, Virginia location, as well as availability for both trailer-in and virtual lessons. USDF Gold, Silver & Bronze Medalists Lauren Sprieser and Ali Redston offer compassionate and correct training from grassroots to Grand Prix, with a lengthy list of successes at all levels of sport with all levels of student. Our beautiful facility offers an oversized indoor with dust-free footing, extensive turnout, ample hacking, and a focus on the horse as a whole and happy athlete.

We're thrilled to welcome back Suzanne Galdun of Positively Dressage for one last clinic of the Florida season! Suzanne is an accredited Mary Wanless Ride With Your Mind coach, a coach for Ride iQ, and one of our all-time favorite clinicians for riders of all levels.

To know Bev was to love Bev, and we’re all so happy to have a little piece of her with us at White Fences Equestrian Center. Bev loved watching her friends - both two-legged and four - show, and was always ready with a post-ride peppermint. Should you find yourself sitting at the show with Bev this weekend, know that she’d have loved for you to join her in the shade, and talk with you about who you were and what animals were blessing your life. We miss you, friend.

Thank you to our wonderful Sprieser Sporthorse family for making this happen.

We’ve been so privileged to welcome so many wonderful schoolmasters to our program this winter, but this one is something special. Nikolas needs no introduction, but we’ll give him one anyway - competed through Grand Prix, a fixture at the Challenge of the Americas quadrille, Dressage at Devon dance-off, and even a Breyer model. How lucky are we to have such an extraordinary creature in the building?! Hugest congratulations to his new family, and hugest of thank yous to Lauren Chumley for all you are and do. 💜

We need a little extra help, particularly on Wednesdays and Thursdays, particularly in the mornings, at our lovely Southern location in White Fences, Loxahatchee FL, until we head home in April. Grooming, tacking, a few simple chores for pleasant people and civilized horses. Could be for cash, could be for trade in lessons with two Grand Prix riders, could potentially be some riding of our horses. An awesome opportunity for a kid. Drop me a line at [email protected].

Are you a recently unemployed federal employee, worried about caring for your horse or advancing your riding in these troubled times? We'll be in need of some extra help, particularly in the evenings with night turnout, upon our return from Florida in April, and we'd love to get creative with terms to help keep you and your horse advancing even in a difficult time.

We're also happy to work with you on adjusted pricing on virtual lessons, so your dressage skills don't have to take a hit while you're in limbo.

Happiest of birthdays to barn manager Christie! Christie keeps this shipwreck very tightly run, and is also usually behind the camera, so we don’t have any good photos of her to share. But the team is celebrating with all the essentials today. Happy birthday, Christie!
