Training with Pair of Aces Stables
Pair of Aces Stables is currently accepting new clients for training. And with an expanded number of lesson horses we have openings for lesson riders as well. We specialize in green, young and "problem" horses. While we predominately work with Hunters and Jumpers, we also accept western horses. We believe that good basics transcend disciplines, and all of our horses are worked with that in mind. Our training focuses on creating a responsive, calm and supple horse that is happy in their chosen job. We do not believe in using shortcuts or rough training techniques to force a horse into performing, instead we focus on the basics and create a horse with the physical and mental ability to excel. For more information on the horses we accept, our training techniques, our competitive prices and references please contact us directly.

After returning to America she continued her success here on the A-circuit competing at levels up to Mini-Prix, before taking a short break from serious competition for college. She is now training out of Washoe Valley Ranch in Washoe Valley, NV, with students competing successfully on the local Sierra Nevada Horse Show Association circuit as well as rated shows.
