Evaluation Ride
We ride the horse and watch how it moves, handles and thinks, then tell you plainly what we see and whether training is the right next step.
A small training barn outside Paris. Evaluation rides, 30- and 60-day tune-ups, and weekly lessons — plus a straight answer about what your horse actually needs.
Every horse comes in on an evaluation first. From there you'll get a plain read on what we'd do, how long it usually takes, and what it costs — before anything is booked.

Bourbon, Scott and Fayette counties. Paris, Georgetown, Lexington, Winchester and Cynthiana — and the back roads between them.
A horse that's been rushed is a horse you'll spend the next year working around. We'd rather take the time here.
Getting a horse to stand quiet is worth more than forcing it to move. The horses that leave here are the ones you can live with.
Every ask starts with the lightest cue and ends the moment the horse gives. That's how a horse learns to look for the answer instead of bracing against it.
We'll walk you through what changed, what's still green, and what to keep working on once the horse is home.
Two minutes on the form is enough to get started. You'll have a straight answer and a written quote within one business day — and if it's easier to talk it through first, the phone is on.
