Let’s Set Your Horse up for Success
We accept horses for long or short-term training. Most often, riders or owners bring their horses to our program with a specific goal in mind. These goals may range from working through a specific issue they are experiencing with their horse, teaching their horse a new concept, or preparing the horse for a sale.

"They always make decisions based on what’s in our horse’s best interest."
“My daughter and I could not be more excited about joining the Arleigh Sport Horses family. Carlie and Charlie are top-notch riding instructors and in a short time have elevated my daughter’s riding ability and have made her so much more self-confident as a rider. Noa is always so excited to try new challenges with her instructors and feels very comfortable with their teaching methods. We trust them implicitly with our horses. When we first arrived at the farm a few short months ago, we brought a horse that was so unhappy, basically unrideable, and highly stressed. In a very very short time Carlie and Charlie have worked closely with our gelding and he is finally happy, much more relaxed, and trusting thanks to all of their coaching, guidance, advice and support.
