Located above the sparkling blue waters of Colvos passage, NHEC is a premier equestrian facility and educational resource. We have recently joined the Gig Harbor Community and we offer a unique and exciting paradigm that facilitates the physical and mental well being of both horse and rider.

NHEC is under the direction and management of Sabrina Duncan, and home to her AQHA stallion, Tejon Please.

A major component that sets NHEC apart from other stables is the high caliber of our school horses.

Over twenty years experience, I put a solid foundation on each horse and rider I have the pleasure of working with, helping them to excel in any displine, great references, quality feed, small personal facility.

Custom horse training is available and can cover anything from foal to finishing! Whether you want to imprint or impress we can help your horse reach its potential. Horses in training are potentially exposed to a multitude of things like horse shows, farm equipment, kids, other horses, gaming events, camping, beach rides, mountain trails, sand dunes, etc. Our training focuses on working the horse at an appropriate pace for its best progress, and takes a consistent approach looking at what is best for the horse's health and comfort....

I'm a lifelong student of the horse who has found great joy and passion in helping others fulfill their equestrian goals. My expertise covers an array of english and western disciplines, with a focus on developing horse-human partnerships that are satisfying and positive.

I have a strong passion for psychology and biomechanics - for both horses and humans. How we think and feel, and how we move, very much affects how our horses think and feel, and how they move their bodies... and vice-versa. I work with horse owners to help them better understand why their horse is doing what they're doing, and then we develop the elements needed to allow the horse and rider to perform better together.

My clients say I'm equal parts coach, sports therapist, and marriage counselor!

My Mission:
Teach people to teach their horses with confidence!
Make riding effectively simple and fun for all!
Create lesson plans that promote confidence, better communication, and a deeper bond between horse and rider.
Develop horses to be strong, agile, flexible - their best athletic selves!

Schedule is flexible and program is tailored to you and your horses specific needs. Haul to my facility in Fall City, or I will meet you at your barn! I work rain or shine, as long as working conditions are safe for both horse and rider. For more information, Please visit my website, keystone-equestrian.com... See More

Our main goal is making sure the horses are happy, sound, and healthy. Quality care is crucial to the training process of horses. If the horses are not sound, happy and healthy, we can't train them to their highest potential. Every horse and person is different. We cater every lesson and training session to meet the needs of every horse and rider so that they can reach their goals together.
