One of Ms. Hunter's favorite aspects of the horse industry is working with the young horse. She has started and continued the jumping careers of hundreds of sport horses and several imported international quality stallions from around the country, watching some of these horses go on to serious competition with top Grand Prix riders. She has received horses in training from as far away as California and New Hampshire and has a proven record of always producing positive, competitive, marketable results. She can only take on a very limited number of outside horses in for full training, as every horse she works with is seriously trained is if it was her own. Goals are set for the horse by the owner and Ms. Hunter, and regular updates on the horses progress are provided. Horses in for full training receive about 5 hours of work a week, and can be competed and/or marketed by Ms. Hunter at the owner's discretion (we prefer horses that can travel with our show schedule). Because most horses in training only remain at the farm for 3 months to a year, a waiting list is available and recommmended for clients seeking top professional and ethical training at what are currently reasonable rates.
Because Huntington Farm's conversion to a training/show facility from
primarly a breeding facility is recent, only a limited number of outside horses
can currently be handled. Lessons and/or training is required of boarders
and a minumum of 2 private lessons (or equivalent group lessons or training)
is required in addition to monthly full board. Though showing is not necessary, we
seek only serious horseman with definitive goals.
Full Board includes:
Unlimited top quality feed 2x per day
Feeding of Supplements (must be supplied by owner)
Large pastures (we prefer socializing though horses may be separated depending on circumstances)
Clean, accessible shelter available at all times
1 clean, bedded stall per horses (horses will be stalled regularly in poor weather and/or because of injury, though because we believe in minimizing confinement they may stay out in pasture with shelter in good conditions)
Access to all faclilities including indoor ring, outdoor rings, trails, heated wash stall, lounge and 1 large tack storage locker per horse
Because Ms. Hunter shows and trains a group of privately owned horses and often has outside horses in for training, the number of students she can take on is limited. Though her focus is intermediate and advanced level students seeking to excel in the jumper arena, she will teach beginners and dressage students, depending on the circumstances, and more importantly, depending on the students willingness, desire and effort to learn.
**Students trailering in and taking lessons do not pay a facility fee.**
Ms. Hunter enjoys giving clinics to outside students, and will travel to a facility if she has the time and it is cost efficient. Feel free to call if you are interested in setting up a clinic.
