Welcome to Sunborn Stables!

We specialize in melding honored traditions with new approaches to dressage and jumping.

 

Sunborn Stables features a comprehensive dressage and eventing education where time-honored traditions meld with new approaches. Our riders become disciplined and creative artists who not only look good on a horse, but can enhance the natural beauty of the horse.

Founded in 2001 by Julie Penshorn, a teacher and trainer for 30 years in 10 different states, Sunborn Stables now has 4 additional teachers and a fabulous working environment. The footing is perfect, and the preparation area is warm!

The teachers work together to develop their skills and their abilities to "see" students' problems and capabilities. Teachers spend a great deal of time figuring out how to best describe the specific postural nuances necessary for success with a given horse, whose needs are always considered important. We listen! We think our work is the mounted version of the language of Equus as Monty Roberts explains it.

Students from age 8 to 65 currently take regular lessons. Many like to test their skills at horse shows, and some simply enjoy the process of learning.

We have a wide variety of horse breeds here. They enjoy the grass, good hay and quality "health food" concentrate/grain they receive.
