Training
Oak Creek Farm resident trainer Stacy Sutton offers an Individualized Full Training program that is specifically customized to suit both the horse and rider's needs in order to create a harmonious and successful partnership. While many of her students own and ride lovely warmbloods, Stacy has much success working with non-traditional dressage breeds ranging from Draft Horse crosses, Gypsy Vanners, Quarter Horses, Arabians, Thoroughbreds and Morgans, as well as the baroque breeds Friesians, Andalusians, and Lusitanos. She recognizes the special physical needs and personality differences of each breed and tailors her training program accordingly.
Assistant June Juvet greatly enhances our training program with her Resistance Free Horsemanship expertise for horses sometimes needing that extra special time and care. June is a patient and gentle teacher and uses ground work to help the horses relax and overcome any unnecessary issues or fears.
Select long-term spaces are available for the training of dressage horses and dedicated students, or for owners wishing to have Stacy Sutton campaign their horse. Short term training is available upon availability for clients, a minimum of three months is required.
Stacy is available to train and instruct at the farm five days a week. Horses in full training are worked five times a week, and all the horses receive at least one day off.
The horses and riders in training also enjoy our private 1 1/2 mile conditioning trail that starts directly at the farm and consists of hills, forest, lovely views, and consistent footing. This change of scenery refreshes the horse's mental attitude and stretches and strengthens their bodies.
We also attend schooling shows and schooling day trips away from the farm to help expose the horses to new surroundings in order to mentally prepare them for confidence in the show ring.
Full training includes our full care service, in which the horse is bathed, treated for minor vet care to lay up injuries, legs are liniment and wrapped as needed at no extra charge.
Full Training or Short Term Training (3 month minimum): $600 per month
Periodic Training Session: $50 per session
Boarding Fee Is Additional
