What we offer
Lessons
Grand Valley Equestrian runs a high caliber competitive jumping lesson program. Our program has been developed with the understanding that most of our students have a competitive end goal.
We work based on the individual goals of both horse and rider and have a strong emphasis on communication both in and out of the show ring.
We strive for a horse forward approach, considering correct equitation for the rider.
Training
We take a full body approach in our horse training. Once your horse is a part of our program, we design a custom training plan based on the needs of the horse, and the long term goals of the rider. With access to our team, your horse will be optimized for success. This success stems from creating a cohesion between ride-ability and performance and is demonstrated through past graduates. Having clear, practiced and proven methods, and continuing to work in line with the individual horse’s talents, has allowed us to help create champions.
Sales
Whether you are looking for your next family member, 1.20 jumper, or first time love, Grand Valley Equestrian will be by your side.
Finding your perfect match is our priority.
Is it time to find your mount a new home? We take extra care to make sure your horse is properly represented and finds a home that will provide them with the best care, love and life that they deserve.
