Training

Sunrise Sporthorses specializes in the training and development of sport horses for multiple disciplines including eventing, hunters, jumpers, foxhunters, and dressage.

Anita works with a variety of horses, but specializes in off-the-track TB's, young horses, and problem horses.Training programs are created based upon each horse's individual talents and desires.

All horses are continually trained with classical riding methods with the goal of consistency and a correct understanding of the aids, along with a balanced, supple, forward, and cheerfully cooperative horse. Groundwork, lunge work and riding are all incorporated into the training of each horse to create a well-rounded competitor. Anita has brought along a number of horses from unbroken and off-the-track, to successfully competing in Hunters, Jumpers, Dressage, and Eventing successfully using this system.

A variety of training packages are available to allow Owner and/or Rider flexibility, including lessons, training rides, and any combination thereof. Anita works closely with each horse and rider to develop a program tailored to each horse/rider combination with their specific needs in mind.

Training package rates generally offer a substantial discount over individual training rides. Please inquire as to current training rates.
