WELCOME to the Training program for Delaney Stables. We are delighted that you’re interested in allowing us to help you with your equine dreams as this program offers a lot of diversity for the growth of you and your horse.
If you would like assistance in starting a green horse, we will teach you and your horse how to lunge. Then we will move on to long-lining to set you up nicely to learn how to enjoy a ride successfully.
From here, you and your horse can specialize in one discipline or continue to cross-train. There are different options designed to fit your goals and custom tailoring is highly encouraged.
Delaney Stables is a full service facility that is fully insured and has highly qualified instruction. Jill is a dressage graduate for judges, a seasoned competitor in many disciplines including dressage, eventing, and TREC and truly wants you to succeed with your horse.
Having not ridden seriously in years and still owning a young horse inherited from my daughters eventing days that had developed some bad habits, I hired Jill for some retraining and pointing me in a positive direction. In this time, Jill has developed my riding skills from some quite unskillful uses of my basic aids to much deeper, more tactful application of my aids on top of a much better understanding of why classic training methods work. Together with both of us riding my horse she has pushed both myself and the horse thru the most annoying of his bad habits and progressed his work immensely. Jill is direct but fair in what she asks from both rider and horse and never asks for anymore then either is in the position to give on any given day. I would highly recommend anyone looking to forward themselves with their riding skills or obtaining certain goals with a horse to give Jill a try.
