Sunborn Stables
Sunborn Stables features a comprehensive dressage and eventing education where time-honored traditions meld with new approaches. We train according to the principles of the USDF Training Pyramid and also help riders explore a step-by-step process for working the horse with that pyramid in mind! We believe both horses and riders have to continually develop their fitness and their overall core strength and tone, while they develop specific skills. Our dressage riders become disciplined and creative artists who not only look good on a horse but can enhance the natural beauty of the horse. Perhaps most importantly, our riders develop the versatility and skills to ride any type of horse.
Founded in 2000 by Julie Penshorn, a United States Dressage Federation Certified Instructor and Trainer, Jennifer will now be working to complete her certifications and get all her USDF medals as she guides Sunborn Stables to even better days! Competent, caring teachers and a fabulous, friendly environment are hallmarks of the stable, that will persist.
Riding is a wonderful, comprehensive, experiential activity that improves balance, agility, and strength. It’s a unique opportunity to experience teamwork with another living being! With riding, people get what they need. For example, children often develop their responsibility, empathy, self-discipline, self-confidence, respect, courage, and sense of fairness, while adults often say they feel more confident, have gained strength, and have fun!
