Ground Up Equine Services

Select your trainers carefully. Observe how the horses interact with them. Watch how the most decorated horse in the barn is treated. Watch how the least qualit...y horse in the barn is treated. Look at the workouts, attitudes and relationships between the trainer and their strongest riders. Look at the workouts, attitudes & relationship between the trainer and their most limited riders. How do they treat their team members? Does their staff like them? Are the other clients happy? What dreams is your trainer chasing? Choose a trainer that lives the values that matter to you. Choose wisely, and trust the process. Not every horse will be a grand champion. Not every lesson horse will be a walk in the park. Not every rider will wins the roses. Not every ride will be easy. Not every prospect will work out. The challenges ahead are inevitable. Spend your time and money to be with a team that you believe in, a team that has your best interest at heart and is honest with you as they help you and/or your horse stride towards greatness- whatever it is you define as such. Select your trainers carefully- and give it your best shot. Greatness isn’t common; but it certainly doesn’t occur unless the trainers, clients and horses are all giving it their best shot.

*SOLD* Paisley 3 year old grade paint filly Paisley is super athletic and loves to please. She has had tons of ground work over the past summer and occasionally throughout this winter. Paisley is looking for someone that has the time to continue her training into under saddle with consistency which is what i wont have. I currently have 2 other young horses that also need my attention this year as well as my students have ended up with too much so one must give. ... Asking 1500$ OBO

For your consideration.. Paisley 2 year old grade paint filly sired by Spicy Chex to Cash. Paisley has just recently been started with ground work and slowly working up to going under saddle. She was purchased as a project but have realized that i dont have the time necessary for her.... Loves attention and very eager to please. Cross ties, bathes and good in a small herd, have never had her in a large herd but she is low on the pecking order. Price will increase once going under saddle consistently. Pm for any more inquiries

FROM A PARENT: One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money for your kids to ride horses?" Well I have a confession to make, I don't pay for my kids to... ride horses. Personally, I couldn't care less about the horses. So, if I am not paying for them to ride, what am I paying for? - I pay for those moments when my kids become so tired they want to quit but don't. - I pay for those days when my kids come home from school and are "too tired" to go the barn but go anyway. - I pay for my kids to learn to be disciplined. - I pay for my kids to learn to take care of their body. - I pay for my kids to learn to work with others and to be good team mates. - I pay for my kids to learn to deal with disappointment, when they don't get that score they'd hoped for, but still have to work hard in the grading. - I pay for my kids to learn to make and accomplish goals. - I pay for my kids to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight. - I pay for the opportunity my kids have and will have to make life-long friendships. - I pay so that my kids can be in the arena instead of in front of a screen... ...I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for horse riding, I pay for the opportunities that horse riding provides my kids with to develop attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen so far I think it is a great investment!
