Whitethorne is a Show Barn, but we recognize that not every person with a horse in training wishes to compete at horse shows. We also recognize that it is important that trainers not only give lessons and advice, but that they also ride their clients’ horses regularly and school them. This even includes having a trainer getting on to a client’s horse to fix a problem during a lesson if necessary, and if Georgy is away at a horse show, there is always another trainer available to give lessons and school your horse.

The Whitethorne training program in addition to developing customized feed and exercise programs for the horses and riders, provides at least five training services per week These can include, private, semi-private or group lessons at times arranged to suit the rider’s convenience (Tuesday through Sunday), schooling rides by the trainers, exercise rides, turn outs, sessions in the European Exerciser and hand walking where this is required or appropriate.

All horses in the training program are also provided with the full grooming program in which their horses are groomed daily and fully tacked up and prepared for their rider. The horses are bathed/showered and cleaned after each ride, dried and put away if required by the owner. Mane pulls, whisker/ear/bridle path trims, and lower leg clipping are also included as is blanketing, administering medication when necessary, supplemental feed service, (medication and extra feed are supplied at an extra charge for each item) laundry and grooming supplies. (Full body clipping is available at an extra charge).

$1,800.00 for a Box Stall

$1,840.00 for a Mare Motel Stall

$1,870.00 for an In & Out Stall
