Sunflower Stables' training program is a unique offering for experienced young riders. We generally get our training horses through outbidding kill buyers at the local auction, or from neglectful homes. We rehabilitate them, and train or retrain them as riding horses. We then adopt them out to pay for the next horse in need. 

Students in this program learn about training from the ground up, from the merely unhandled to the abused. Training is a rich, intense experience with many rewards for those willing to put in the time, effort, and thought required.

This program is generally only open for students who we know and have already worked with for some time. We are very, very proud of these young people and all that they've already accomplished with their horses. This small gallery can't begin to capture the hours and hours of patient and careful handling these students put in!
