We have availability for Western and/or English training and colt starting! Special rates on training board for NewHorse.com referrals. Our trainer in residence, Donna Lespier with Jade Meadows Training, is very experienced in both English & Western disciplines. She’s a lifelong horsewoman with a long resume of numerous successes in the horse world. She’s started, trained & competitively shown on a regional level. She has a proven track record of training quiet, safe, and willing horses - many examples of horses that were considered “spooky”, “advanced rider safe only”, and “problem horses” became quiet, collected, “husband-safe” horses in Donna’s training program. Training board includes all feed, alfalfa & hay, and at quantities appropriate for proper forage and nutrition. Fly control, turn out, cooling rinses & grooming, and training 2x per week, plus exercising lunges on off training days. The barn is built for grown horses, but includes “baby-proof” features to protect young ones too! Start your weanling or yearling off right with a good foundation. Or get your 2 or 3 year old going! Donna enjoys working with “babies”, developing good ground manners and listening skills from a young age. Space is limited to ensure proper attention is provided to each horse.... See More

Keli Wakeley has been riding and training Western Pleasure horses in South Florida since 1997. She offers freelance riding instruction/training specializing in showmanship, hunter under saddle, hunt seat equitation, competitive trail, western pleasure horsemanship and showmanship. She has been affiliated with AQHA, APHA and ApHC for training and competition. Prior to starting a freelance business in 2003 Keli worked for a local stable in Loxahatchee Florida as Farm Manager and resident CHA Certified Riding Instructor and trainer. During her time at there she maintained a barrel horse training and sale program for the owner, offering barrel horse training, showing and sales. Keli offers lessons for pleasure or show and has a passion for working with both children and adults; she specializes in helping riders utilize their natural aids to communicate well with their mount for a safe and enjoyable ride. All students will learn barn and riding safety, balance and correct equitation in the saddle, learning to move through all gaits while gaining trust and confidence within yourself and your equine partner. My goal is to help my riders to always be in balance with the horse, maintain a correct position in every gait, possess commanding but relaxed presence and have the ability to direct the horse with nearly invisible aids.
