High Valley Hanoverians

High Valley Hanoverians High Valley Hanoverians is a Hanoverian breeding & warmblood raising station in the North Georgia Mountains.

We use our unique training method "Developing Warmblood Athletes in the Mind & the Body®" to produce exceptional dressage & jumper prospects. About our Warmblood Raising Program:
At High Valley Hanoverians, our youngsters are raised in big, safe play paddocks with numerous other youngsters (and a few older babysitters). This enables the development of confidence, a playful nature and important soc

ial skills. The youngsters enjoy 23x7 turnout on our rolling hills where they develop strong joints and tendons and an athletic foundation far superior to youngsters who are restricted to smaller, more sedentary environments. Each youngster is fed in individual stalls so that they are not competing for food plus this provides HVH caregivers to provide them quality care for coat, hooves, fly spray, sun screen, grooming, etc. The essential daily handling and our “Training Games” approach develops the foundation for lifelong partnering. About our Young Horse Training Program:
Our Young Horse training program "Developing Warmblood Athletes in the Mind & the Body®" is a unique approach that utilizes a variety of essential training components to maximize overall performance, core strength and foundation training. The variety of the work both maximizes and balances the physical and mental conditioning of the Young Horse. Horses in this program benefit from a rock-solid partnering and ground work foundation, a drama free backing process, dressage (and/or Hunter) foundation developed in conjunction with effective conditioning in our combined training fields, over cavaletti gymnastic grids and on extreme mountain trails. Each Young horse is appropriately challenged, encouraged to express his/her playful nature and receives ample encouragement, love and attention. The result is a happy, physically fit athlete who demonstrates the passion to achieve his/her career potential. This program works equally well on older horses that need rehab or re-training.

Louisa HVH enjoyed her very first Under Saddle ride with HVH Apprentice Trainer, Naomi Eriksen. Naomi had completed several weeks of ground training including partnering in-hand, long lining and pessoa lunging with Louisa to 'set her up for success'. Louisa was SO ready that she was literally begging Naomi to put a leg over. Thanks to Jane-Ashe Gailmard from our competition campus at Lovingston Dressage for essential ground support.

In the HVH training method Developing Warmblood Athletes in the Mind & the Body, we work on building trust and confidence while we are developing their minds for the work and developing fitness and suppleness in the body to do the work.

Louisa HVH is a Hanoverian Mare by Louisville HTF x HPM Royal Rose HVH (Royal Prince). She will be bred in Spring 2025 and will prepare for her Hanoverian MPT in the Fall of 2025. Who knows.... you may see her in a 3yo materiale class or two as well during show season 2025.

Guess what Team HVH did over the Thanksgiving weekend? We did the initial backing (starting under saddle) of six coming 3 year old warmbloods! They have been in pre-backing ground training for the past several weeks and they were literally begging us to go to the next step and put a leg over them.

Kudos to Naomi Eriksen for doing the majority of the ground work and being their first rider! And, thanks to Jane-Ashe Gailmard from Lovingston Dressage for providing ground support. Video support from Jasmine Dunnell and Charlie Coleman.

The coming 3 year olds will continue light under saddle work for the next couple of months to gain their balance with a rider and just have some FUN in the beautiful mountain meadows at High Valley Hanoverians.

The High Valley Hanoverians team braved taking FIVE client yearlings to the Young Horse Series (YHS) Show at Le Bonheur Equestrian in Chatsworth, Georgia last weekend. We are so proud of each of these brave yearlings who experienced their first competition, their first overnight stabling, and also braved the TUNNEL between the stables and the competition arenas. We knew these yearlings were well prepared and good partners, but we were absolutely blown away by their composure in walking as a team through the scary tunnel. The last set were led in dual by trainer Olivia Torres since we were short handed. SO PROUD of these kids!

Thanks to HVH team including
