Training
Honey Brook Stables offers a unique training program that combines the kind techniques of positive reinforcement with the principles and fundamentals of classical riding.
At Honey Brook Stables, we specialize in starting young horses the right way and working through behavior issues with “problem horses.”
The Honey Brook Stables training program is unique because we offer several training packages, to fit the needs of you and your horse. Packages include bonuses such as creating a weekly update video of your horse so you can watch their progress and follow along with training, as well as a weekly lesson so you and your horse can work together and continue to progress.
Riding School
Private Intensives
Private Intensives at Honey Brook Stables are a two day, one on one, fully customized learning experience to reach your riding goals.
During your Private Intensive, you will be working with our local instructor, Kaitlyn McGarvey, and our stellar group of school horses, with each horse carefully chosen to help solve a specific problem you’ve been having or teach the skill you need for the next level of riding.
Individual Lessons
Lessons available for all riders, from those who are just discovering horses, to the experienced equestrian who just needs some new ideas and a fresh perspective.
Kaitlyn McGarvey is our local instructor and loves to create partnership between horse and rider, whether that is working with a person and their own horse or with their school horse in each lesson. Kailtyn offers private and group lessons each week.

Meet the School Masters
Grey Molly
Grey Molly has been a character since she came into our lives as a yearling. She is known for always finding the dirtiest spots to roll, and showing off that dirt on her grey coat.
Grey Molly is a favorite of students for learning canter and is a big solid TB/ Percheron cross who carries all riders.
Ellie
Ellie was a homebred surprise of Callie’s Uncle. He bought Ellie’s dam at an auction and a few months later – surprise! Ellie arrived.
Ellie learned to carry a rider, pull a cart, and jump courses before coming to Honey Brook Stables to join our lesson program. She has a wonderful temperament and has been compared to riding a couch!
Ace
Ace is a special guy. He has been part of our family for 20 years. Ace is a Kentucky Mountain Horse, a gaited breed, although he trots, gaits, paces, canters, and jumps with lesson students.
He may have the smoothest canter in the barn and is a little guy, so carries our small adults and child riders.
Henry
Henry was a star in the fox hunting fields before becoming one of our school horses.
He is a Thoroughbred off the track who excelled despite numerous physical limitations throughout his life. Now, at 21, he mostly does walk/trot lessons.
Catfish
Catfish came to us after many years as a camp horse. Catfish is a solid little Quarter Horse who walks, trots, canters, jumps crossrails, and trail rides. He is level headed but likes to go!
He loves to connect and just hang out in the field too.
Sergeant
Sergeant helps our students with practicing bending, lateral work, and the ability to keep a horse a frame.
He loves riders who don’t mind going slow and giving him time to get comfortable, but will try very hard to do whatever he is asked.
Bella
Bella is a stocky mare who works hard, and is steady and kind.
She challenges her rider to help her keep a steady frame and really teaches her riders to feel the subtle difference that good balance and self carriage make in movement!
Rocky
Rocky may be the smallest of our group, but he has one of the biggest personalities.
Always on the move and aware of everything, Rocky teaches our child riders to stay focused and patient in the saddle, and is a favorite of adult students for groundwork and liberty lessons.
Ruger
Ruger is one of our most talented jumpers, as well as a beautiful mover.
A flashy red roan, he is always a favorite and works hard no matter what he is asked.
Rumba
Rumba used to be a cow pony before joining the herd here.
She is quiet with easy, smooth gaits and loves a nap in the center of the arena.
