Training

Dandelion Farm provides a full service training program with trainer, Josh Graves. During a typical week, depending on the needs of the horse and the rider, horses will have a combination of professional rides, private and/or group lessons.

Training is supported by four full-time professional grooms that manage daily turnout, lunge horses for fitness and safety, and attend to any veterinary needs including icing, wrapping, and farrier management.
