Lessons at Spring Valley Stable truly offer something for everyone. We have a passion for positive, caring instruction that appeals to riders of all ages. Young children can enjoy fun and engaging exercises while developing safe and effective riding skills, competitive riders receive quality, result oriented exercises that will bring them competition success and passionate horse lovers of all ages enjoy the thoughtful, systematic approach to our training system. We live our values through our training program. Our approach is very safe, fun, respectful of the horses, and successful in the competition ring. Our riders feel valued, supported and respected. Our competitive riders enjoy success at many shows across western Canada and into the U.S.
Our training program is led by Holly Franklin. Holly enjoyed success as a competitive junior rider and quickly fell in love with coaching after highschool.
"I believe so deeply in providing positive, result oriented coaching and supporting my riders in meeting their goals. Teaching young children is so much fun. They bring energy and excitement to their lessons and being a mother allows me to understand first hand the support young people need as they learn and grow. Equally I enjoy teaching my junior riders. Many of them are competitive individuals and I find it so rewarding to help them reach their goals. Seeing them bond with their horse and team mates, face adversity, apply the knowledge we share and ultimately succeed is very gratifying. I have also been fortunate enough to work with many adult amateurs and they really inspire me. These are women who clearly have had a lifelong passion for horses and to see them still enjoying this hobby while, or after, balancing careers and family is really special. It reminds me all the time that riding can be a lifelong endeavor and you never really grow out of the "horse bug". I have been so fortunate to learn from some truly exceptional horseman and I am so thankful to have the opportunity in my career to teach others about this sport that I am so passionate about".
Our program is very client focused. To provide you with a top quality experience we offer group and private lessons. We have a very open and flexible schedule with a generous cancellation policy. We are very family oriented and encourage children or siblings to come and enjoy various amenities while their parent or sibling rides. We are here to serve the Saskatchewan horse community and will continue to develop the depth of instruction we feel our riders deserve.
Training.

We believe in a consistent and fair approach to the horse that accounts for natural horse behaviour and psychology.

Boarding.
Indoor, paddock or field boarding options.
Top quality care for your horse is a cornerstone of our business and we are leading the Saskatchewan Horse Industry in the amenities we offer to our boarded horses. We only practice best practices when it comes to turnout, feeding and handling. We offer a variety of boarding options including indoor board, outdoor individual and group board and year round pasture turnout if desired. Every horse is treated as one of our own. We get to know your horse and tailor our service to match your horse's individual needs. An emphasis is put on your horse's safety and comfort. They are monitored throughout the day for their health and welfare. The feed program is designed with your horses needs in mind and differs greatly from the typical commercial boarding operation. We strive to deliver a truly stress free option for the discerning horse owner. Rest assured that your horse is safe, warm, fed and healthy in our environment. Our service is exceptional and goes unmatched in the community for attention to detail and care provided to your beloved companion.
Some aspects of the horse care that our boarders enjoy include - individual feed programs, access to seasonal pasture, hay fed numerous times throughout the day with the goal of horses have forage in front of them the majority of the day, safe fencing, extensive turnout options to accommodate different types of horses with different social behaviour, small group or individual turnout, all weather footing in the turnout, manure picked regularly, mud free access to all turnout, shelters, bedding in shelters and around the clock monitoring for health and soundness. Additionally, horses are brought in for the vet and farrier and blankets are changed for owners when needed. This is truly a full service boarding experience.
