Hunter Jumper Training in New York

Lani Ohly has decades of experience, totaling more than 7,000 hours in the saddle, on some 100 or more horses, and countless more as a riding instructor, following years of rescuing, rehabilitating, and training horses for hunter, jumper, dressage, and eventing competitive riding. Lani’s techniques have taken numerous kill-pen, ottb, and volatile prospects to show arena success. Instruction emphasizes both horse and rider technique, balance, cooperation, and empathic communication.
Students enjoy the unique experience of learning equitation in the fresh air along Lake Champlain. Any student unease is quickly replaced with the inner peace, liberation, rejuvenation, and contentment that comes with increased strength, balance, and genuine practical horsemanship.... See More

Kelly (Gaffney) Lasher on-site instructor, trainer, and stable manager at Hunter Landing Equestrian. She and her husband have owned and ran the business since 2011. She has been riding and showing horses for the last 24+ years.

Some of Kelly's major riding accomplishments include showing competitively at local, A-rated, IHSA, and AQHA recognized shows. She has attended shows stretching from Toronto, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Texas, and various locations across New York State. Kelly was a three-time top ten winner in working hunter and equitation over fences classes at the AQHA Congress as both a youth and amateur rider. She also competed twice at the AQHYA World Show in Fort Worth, TX; on her second trip to the World Show, she finished first on the Working Hunter judges' card for the preliminary round, and was awarded 15th in the finals. Kelly also rode for the highly regarded St. Lawrence University IHSA Equestrian team, often as the over fences point rider. Upon attending St. Lawrence, she joined the riding team as an Open Flat and Intermediate Over Fences rider, and during that time was recognized as the Reserve High Point rider as well as the Regional Champion over fences as an individual.

Though Kelly entered into the professional ranks as a trainer in 2011 when she founded Hunter Landing Equestrian, she has trained, shown, and worked with her own horses independently prior to and since graduating from St. Lawrence University in 2005. She has brought along many young, green horses, preparing them for the world of hunter/jumpers. She does what she loves. Her childhood dream has come true - to teach horses and riders alike, at a facility that she can call her own.

Our training philosophy is to ensure a positive experience for each horse, each and every time. We value the horse owner's feedback, goals, and objectives, and will design a training plan specific to your horse.

Our training program is designed to fine-tune and condition horses to perform at their best, and for green horses that are just learning. Affordable training is offered as single rides or as a monthly program, but can be tailored to fit your horse's specific needs.

Kelly ensures horses are very solid and educated on the flat prior to moving her horses to the jumping phase of her training program.... See More

I am a NY trainer looking to relocate to PA . My two horses are in Reading, I have 35 plus years experience, have directed programs and competed in both dressage and jumpers. I am trained to fourth level, I work with beginner thru medal and Maclay, have a good business, but found I was missing my boys way too much and LOVED PA! You may friend me on facebook for pics... I will try and put a resume into this space: RESUME - SALLY HOUGHTON

1972 - Trainer for the original owner of Stonyhill Stables, Harry Hutzler. Harry first operated from St. James before moving to Northport. I worked for him for a few years and rode anything and everything that came off the sale truck. I was 17 when I started. Not long after the move to Northport, Stonyhill was purchased by Frank Benedetto, whose son, James is now the current owner. I taught all levels of equitation, especially the Medal and Maclay divisions and was the Director of Training at the school. I had a very successful team of competitors, all the horses were made by me, no six figure horses.

During this time I continued my riding education with George Morris and Gunner Ostergaard. I competed in the Intermediate jumper division up to and including second level dressage. I am trained to fourth.

I left Stonyhill in order to pursue a broader experience of the business, which I did as a free lancer. Teaching at farms such as Gold Coast Equestrian Center, Knoll Farms, Private homes from Old Westbury to the Stonybrook, ByWay Farms, Majestic Farms ( Hollandia), Islandia Farms, Caumsett Equestrian Center. Quite honestly, I cant remember all of them. This was during the late 70's and 80's.

I got married and so for a time continued competing, but teaching only lightly.

In 1989 I was diagnosed with Lyme disease. I was unable to do anything for several years. That was followed by the death of my husband.

Raising a little girl alone, required that I return to work, and my work of course was the horse business. I discovered that during my time away, things had changed quite drastically. However, I jumped back into free lancing, working at Stanhope and then Parkview. I have continued to train green, young or poorly trained horses. I am able to put the right horse with the right rider and make a winning team. I am familiar with several breeds and not the least of these, the wonderful thoroughbred.

So, while I am employed, I am once again looking to expand. I can teach, ride, design a successful and profitable riding program and create sale horses that people will want to buy. I am competent in a managerial position.

This is an informal resume, and I respect you for at least asking for one! From what I see these days, anyone can walk up a driveway with a horsemanship ld 101 speech and be hired.

The last time I handed in a resume, one of the trainers made sure it got buried behind the desk. I am still to date, the only one who even had one.

I have no problem with taking beginners, and no interest in soliciting students away from other trainers. In fact I would be happy to work with any trainers who would like to know more, as well as to teach and ride better. I am also available as a clinician in areas of beginners, intermediate, advanced equitation, hunter and jumpers as well as beginner through 4th lever dressage riders. Problem horses, are no problem.

If you would like to friend me on face book I would be happy to accept you and you may see some current pictures of myself riding my thoroughbred, or some of my students.

I look forward to meeting you in the future.

Sincerely,

Sally Houghton
