Testimonials
Happy Horses, Happy Clients
"We chose Story Horse Farm because they are a top tier hunter/jumper barn with an exceptional training facility and dedicated staff. We have been especially impressed with the high quality of personalized training provided by industry professionals. The entire Story Horse Farm team is committed to the highest level of care and development of the horses and riders. "- Bethany Beaver
"I really enjoy and appreciate the beautiful, light-filled facility at Story Horse Farm. I’ve spent too many years in cold, dark barns. I also appreciate the hard-working, friendly staff. They have gone out of their way to keep me and the horse I lease, happy and comfortable. Although I am not a hunter/jumper, the trainers are well-versed in the important basics of classical riding and flat work which I need to practice dressage. I feel very fortunate to have ended up at this barn, with this staff, at this point in my riding career." - Sue McLeod
"Story Horse has everything we could ever ask for in a boarding facility including a dedicated barn manager to handle all of our horses needs. Kristi and Darcy have been amazing coaches for my daughter and helped her achieve the MHJA Year End Champion for her division last year. Their coaching is complementary and they do an excellent job of ensuring adequate coverage for both lessons and a variety of shows. "- Amanda Gorra
