Training

"Under and because of your guidance, Bubbles, Kaylee and Shadow have given us such joy.
We have had such wonderful experiences with them. This move has been (as you well know) thorny for all of us. However, the joy of sharing our horses with just a few has really been a blessing and I always feel I want to share that happiness with you. Although we have not won ribbons and titles with these beautiful animals and our training and skill is very limited, the pleasure I get from caring for them is boundless and the easy riding I do brings me so much happiness. You created that for me and I thank you so very much."

"Gina and I have been riding the girls this week when it’s not raining. Gina’s mare is doing great, no more pulling or attempts to run off when she is excited. That means we have been trotting on the trail. Finally and it’s Wonderful!!!! We have also cantered in small secure areas with good results and we are under control at a moderate speed."

"I wanted to let you know that Cat has been progressing very smoothly.
She is a natural on leads and lead changes.
She knows her job and gets it done, no questions asked.
I don't really have to lunge her anymore before I ride, but I do anyway.
She goes right out on the lead line and goes to work. This is one awesome mare.
My daughter just started riding and guess who she learned on? That's right, Cat!
I believe with all my heart that you, Blanchard, was the only one that could have brought Cat around. Anybody else would have just broke her down. Thank you soooo much!"

When visiting without a horse trailer, please park your vehicle in front of the main barn bordering the sidewalk on the left side of the barn.

When pulling a horse trailer, you may park on the left side of the barn between the pool and the barn. DO NOT PARK on the working side of the facility where the tractor, shavings and farm vehicles are parked. The driveway does circle the barn for ease and you do not have to turn your truck and trailer around.

Owners must provide a current original coggins with your horse upon arrival.
If we do not receive this coggins, we will pull a new one 7 days after arrival at your expense. Remember, you should always keep the current original coggins with the horse when traveling and where ever the horse is stabled, etc.
The state veterinarian and the Livestock-Poultry Health Service of Clemson University may require proof of annual test administrations, as they consider necessary. Please note: If we are inspected and fined due to not having your horses’ original coggins this fine will be billed to you.

If you would like to see your horse work you will need to make an appointment at least two days in advance and we will do our best to work you into the schedule.

If you would like to talk with Blanchard or Debbie concerning your horse the very best time to call is between 6:30 AM and 7:30 AM each morning Monday thru Saturday. Our phone service picks up while we are on the phone so we are probably on the phone with someone else if you get our answering machine and we will return your call that morning.
