Here at Sage Meadows, we believe riders of all ages, ability levels, and riding disciplines can acheive successful horsemanship through the development of trust, respect and communication between horse and rider. We are a multi-​discipline facility, but specialize in Dressage and Huntseat. Riders graduate from Sage Meadows with a thorough knowledge of horse psychology, equine safety, barn management and extensive riding and training skills. We proudly offer leasing and showing opportunities for riders who wish to continue advancing their horsemanship skills.
