Woodrow "Woody" this guy is an athletic leggy draft cross, eligible to be registered American Warmblood, foaled 2019. He'll be offered in 2024. He's very kind and laid back. Just a nice big young horse, willing, kind, uncomplicated.

Armani during his training today. Armani is a 2020 Friesian cross gelding who is a phenomenal mover with UL dressage potential. He is a must-see. He also has an endearing personality that will keep you in good spirits.
Really excited for his future! Will be offered in 2024.

Wowsa! 🤩😍 Preston looking gorgeous as ever during his session today. Preston is an extremely fancy true black 2020 Percheron cross gelding who will be available on our 2024 listings. If you like them put together perfect, he's worth the wait 💓💖

Pictures from Cam's ride tonight. This beautiful 16.2hh TB is available. He's 6 coming 7 and not a hot ride. Has never bucked, reared, bolted, needed lungeing, etc and is not spooky. Who's looking for a chunky built TB with a brave disposition who's fun and handy to ride and will happily go around in a snaffle all day?
Video of Cameron wtc and jumping today. This stunning boy is available to be seen & tried. 🥰🎁

Flashy Barbie with her soft elastic dressage work, b*mbproof Benjamin with his phenomenal saint status, and also a picture of Rembrandt (now Dutch) who's currently being broke to saddle as part of our post-sale training services. 💖🏇💖
Introducing a very special gentleman! 📣
Meet Benjamin! This sweet chunky gorgeous heartthrob is a 10 year old Percheron/Morgan gelding 16+hh who's been a beloved family horse his whole life. If you can sit in a saddle (or even without one), you can ride Benjamin! 😂 Horses like him are practically impossible to find. 🦄🦄 NOTE were not yet taking appointments just yet as we're behind schedule due to the recent poor weather. We're excited to share him with you once he's officially on the market, so if he catches your eye stay tuned for his updates! 😍💖💓
Rose schooling today on a rainy day. This mare has the "wow" factor and is very placid and AA friendly for her age of 5. I see great things in her future with absolutely no limitations to what she can achieve! 😍❤️ Currently available to be seen & tried
Barbie schooling stretchy circles and leg yields today 💖

Jingle bells! Cam would like to be your holiday present this year and dressed for the occasion! 🎅🦄💞🎁
Ps this is the loudest horse video I've made but that didn't bother CAM, who has a brilliant BRAIN!🥰 sn**ch him up while he's on sale 🏷️🌲🎁🎅
I can easily see this guy giving lessons, being a junior or AA horse with no complications! He certainly doesn't mind our shenanigans, he never needs any prep, and he rides in a snaffle. UTD on vet, farrier & dental. He is ready for your holiday! Will include the bells and antlers too 😂🎅❤️🎁
Barbie is a trail ride pro! She doesn't mind being the last one in the back, is apparently cow-safe 🐄😆 and goes right thru water, and stays calm in big groups in a simple snaffle, stands quietly with the group and ships great too. What a great horse for hunting and trail rides in addition to dressage & jumping and lately also giving lessons! 🥰💞🦄
Another video from the Rappahannock Hunt trail ride today with Barbie. She was so fun and such a good girl💞

Happy Thanksgiving from SRS 🦃🍞🥧🍽️🍂💕! I am so grateful for the amazing people I've met this year who have given simply wonderful loving homes to our lovelies! Pictured with their new owners, some 2023 graduates! Thank you so much for sharing your passion and dreams (and sending updates)!
Cam during his ride today. We threw a western saddle & bridle on him for the first time and rode one-handed to show how VERSATILE this good-minded Thoroughbred is! Cam is 16.2hh and 6 years old and has been with us for a year. It's time for him to find his special person and his price has been reduced for a holiday sale. If interested please send a pm.
New English videos will be posted this week.
Cutie Zeke during his ride today. This gentle 14.2hh Friesian large pony / small horse is showing us he's a very good pony for kids or adults. He has a whoa button but is also athletic. He's also extremely sweet, and kind, and scrumptious! 🥰 He doesn't have a mean or "pony" bone and has packed kids through mountain trails without complaint. He's friendly and eager to meet you in the paddock and as you can imagine, an easy keeper and easy to have around gets along with everyone type, and he has great manners. A true gem! 💎 I can't wait to offer him available, but I'd like to spend a bit more time with him myself first 🥰💞
SRS graduate Rembrandt (now "Dutch") learning how to ride under saddle during his first 30 days! This fancy youngster is a great student. Today he learned about walk poles.

Video from Zeke's ride today. This cutie patootie has buttons and a very good brain. He's seriously going to be one superstar of a pony for someone lucky. For now that someone is me 😂😂 but soon I will share him 🦄🦄
Zeke! Cutest and sweetest pony gelding
Not yet available but he's coming!!! Oh my goodness is he precious! I'm totally smitten with this pony. He's been ridden by kids and is very docile and sweet, but athletic enough for anyone. Stay tuned to our page for his updates! 🦄💖💓🥰

My goodness this is a pretty mare! Barbie flatting today. Available to be seen & tried, come check her out! 🦄🦄🦄
Barbie jumping today. This girl has been busy! She's been teaching a few lessons, and really excelling in her dressage & jumping training! She's so kind and sweet, and doesn't need to be ridden every day. She's just waiting for her special person to come along 💓🦄🥰💖

Pics from Rose's ride today 🤩💖🦄💕
Here's a unique treat! Zeke is a coming 5 year old 14.2hh black Friesian sport pony! He's the perfect size for adults or kids! He has spent most of this year extensively trail riding all over and he has a really great personality, he's very sweet and caring and willing. Gentle gentleman, walks right up to you in pasture and is very mannerly. He's the cutest mover and has a lot of potential for dressage & jumping. He's so fun and correctly built with big bone, all on a great uphill build with the cutest face to boot. He wears a cob size bridle and small horse size blankets and does not need shoes. No vices or issues , and has dream manners. He's one of a kind! We're not taking appointments on him just yet but he will be available in time for the holidays or before, so stay tuned! 🎅🌲🦄
SRS Backstory
It was in the late 1960s that my mom was grooming at a horse show, and my dad (pictured above) was riding the jumpers. I’d like to think I was there in spirit, on that fateful day so long ago. It was love at first sight, and within a few years, they were married-- and then off to train racehorses. After quite some time spent in the racehorse business, my parents retired from racing to raise 3 kids-- and naturally, one of them (me) was bitten by the horse bug so severely that I just had to carry on the family tradition in some form or fashion. I spent my childhood riding ba****ck on Morgans in Vermont, driving Standardbreds around an oval, training dressage & jumpers with an old Irish coach, and chasing the dreams every horse-loving little girl dreams-- the same dreams I still have today (and I bet you do, too, if you’re reading this).
In 2002/2003, I developed Striding Right Stable. I focused on a h/j riding lesson program and ex-racehorse transition & sale services. I did this until 2009, before deciding to pursue degrees in animal biology and animal ecology & behavior. In 2016, I (finally) finished school, with a BS in Zoology and a MS in Biology. (I did my thesis research on bird behavior, which was a fun detour from training large mammals!) During my MS, I was able to work on patent-pending research and a paper from my project was published in an internationally leading biology journal. While I was in school, I continued to teach riding lessons, contract out my services, work with ex-racehorses, breeze racehorse babies, and diversify by judging, trying new disciplines (started eventing; even endurance riding), just to name a few things I did from 2009-2016 while I was in school. I also continued to work with OTTBs, my true passion.
In 2017, with school officially off my plate, I resurrected Striding Right Stable. Today, we focus mainly on the training & sale of quality sport horses. I use my years of experience, coupled with my rigorous science education in animal biology and behavior, and my passion, to bring along select horses, transition them from careers, and to match them with the best possible homes. I’ve been doing this for a long time and I have a good eye, and I am an excellent trainer for young Thoroughbreds, using methods I’ve spent 15 years getting right. It is the training I am most passionate about. I also purely love finding horses amazing homes with happy new owners. I also focus on the training & show of my personal horses (all TBs), and teach private lessons to students in our barn co-op. Most importantly, my number #1 top goal is to have FUN, doing what we love, and what we are all so fortunate to be a part of -- having these great, wonderful, beautiful, giving, intelligent animals in our lives, and being able to ride & communicate with them.
