BOARDING:
At Unity Stables, we offer Full or Seasonal pasture board. Our amenities include:
80x200 insulated indoor with rubber footing Heated bathroom
Large Heated observation area, meeting/party room
On site owners Spacious gender based turnout. Wash stalls
Sand and Rubber footed outdoor arena Quality feeding program
Stalls cleaned daily Access to trails On-site shows and clinics
Our barn is kid friendly and home to many. Common sense barn rules are enforced, ensuring the safety of both horse and human.
"We welcome friendly, down to earth people, who share our love of horses and being in the barn."
We don't have barn hours and we don't close the arena during lessons, but there is a few times during the week that it may be a little hectic (group jumping lessons for example) and we would let you know what those days/times were so you could plan your riding around them. We have had owners come at 10pm if that's when their work hours allow for. We just ask that you close up and shut off lights when you leave.
All in all, our horses tend to stay pretty Happy and Healthy! We strive to make them as comfortable as we would want to be. We turnout as much as possible. Access to the large pastures, green grass and fresh air is what's best for them and makes them happiest.
Our boarding tends to stay full, but if you are interested in your horse staying with us, contact us for a possible date of availability.
OUR LESSON PROGRAM:
Our lesson program focuses on a lot of riders that are just starting out, up to the seasoned show rider. We have started hundreds of new riders, both english and western. Our students have ranged in age from 2 thru 70 years old. Emphasis is placed on "Proper Riding", meaning we want our riders to have the balance necessary to fully control their horse as well as enjoy their ride, always keeping the horses safety and comfort in mind as well. Safety is of the utmost concern, therefore having the proper and balanced position will enable the rider to be safer in the saddle, less likely to fall off or lose control if the horse should react to something. Lessons are spent truly learning the hows and whys of your position and control. These lessons enable you to advance quickly and reach goals in a reasonable amount of time.
**Time and time again we are told that our lessons are very informative. People that have ridden elsewhere for years are surprised at how quickly they can advance under our teachings**
Our lessons are very reasonably priced, considering the amount of time that is spent with each student. Students should always allow for a minimum of 1 1/2 hrs of barn time when the lesson is scheduled. 15 minutes prior for grooming and tack up, approximately an hour of riding time (so long as it ends on a good note), and at least another 15 minutes of grooming and untacking. More time should usually be allowed for when riding in a group or specialized lesson, such as jumping.
As I'm forever saying........
"WHEN YOU ENTER THE FRONT DOOR OF UNITY STABLES, TIME DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE!"
**Imperative to a good program, is having quality horses to teach on. Here at Unity, we have top notch horses and ponies, that are both safe and fun to learn on. **
SHOWING:
We compete in a number of local series shows each year!
Emphasis is placed on having fun at the shows, whether we win it all or we cheer on a friends win.
Show variety is based on our current years riders and their horses and what is an appropriate show for them to compete and learn in. We never pressure anyone to become competetive, however for the rider that wishes to, we can tailor a show program to fit your needs and budget.
Show services, such as coaching, trailering, horse use, fees incurred, etc. will all be discussed with each individual participant.
**********UNITY STABLES is also home to a few shows held every year! Such a great benefit for our boarders and students!!
OUR TRAINING PROGRAM:
When time and space allow, we accept outside horses for finishing and tune ups. We do not currently accept horses that need initial breaking, but can recommend someone that we use. We do feel it is very important for owners to be very involved with the training process. We encourage you to be as much a part of it as you can. If you are in need of training services please feel free to contact us and see if it's something we can do for you, or point you in the right direction of someone that can help if we can't.
FARM SERVICES:
We offer several conveniences at Unity Stables, ranging in services such as grooming packages, exercise packages, show prep, maintenance clipping, etc. Our fees are very reasonable and we can provide you with a list of these services on request.
