Riding Lessons and InstructionCompetitive Riding ProgramRiding Lessons and Instruction
Apex Farm lessons are instructed by Stacy Sutton, from the beginner rider wishing to learn correct basic riding skills to the competitive minded rider who strives to actively compete in Dressage Shows. Stacy enjoys specializing in both the amateur adult rider as well as young riders (ages 6 thru 18 years old) from Introductory to Second levels. Although the majority of the riders Stacy instructs own their own horses, some safe and gentle school horses are available to riders wanting to eventually purchase their own horse.
During the winter months, Apex Farm holds a rainy day lesson series on special subjects such as: Proper tack cleaning, braiding, minor veterinary care, riding video evaluations etc. This gives everyone a chance to progress in their horsemanship skills and develop new friendships.

Competitive Riding Program
It's up to the individual whether the training focus is on competition or simply improving communication and riding skills. Either way, Stacy provides a safe, friendly and motivating environment to help students achieve their goals.
Throughout the season, both the adults and Jr. riders enjoy attending many local Schooling and Rated Dressage Shows. We are conveniently located 20 minutes away from the Starr Vaughn Equestrian Center which hosts several 3 star and CDI shows, and the Rancho Murieta Equine Complex which hosts the CDS Northern Jr. Championships, 3 star and CDI shows.
Stacy takes special care to school competitive riders to feel comfortable and capable in the show setting, and emphasizes enjoying the entire process with their equine friend, while achieving their personal goals.
Stacy feels that one of the most rewarding things about instructing is seeing her students grow through their love, respect, and commitment to the horses, thus gaining more joy and confidence within themselves and how this can reflect in all areas of their lives.
