Ride Competitively, Enjoy Camaraderie at Flintrock Stables
Flintrock Stables is a top-quality hunter/jumper show barn that handles every aspect of horsemanship from the absolute beginner to the “AA” circuit competitor. Flintrock’s staff provides an extensive variety of equestrian services, including lessons, boarding, training, sales/investment horses, winning at rated and schooling horse shows, and more. Flintrock Stables focuses on the progression of horse and rider, helping clients achieve their show goals while maintaining a spirit of team camaraderie. In 2009, the farm’s horses and riders were awarded nine Championships, five Reserve Championships and numerous other high score awards by CPJHSA, EPPHA, and PHSA. Riders qualified for Zone II and Gittings finals and won high point awards at local show series and ribbons in the locals division of the Pennsylvania National Horse Show.
The training programs at Flintrock Stables are calibrated to the specific needs of each hunter or jumper, and designed to bring out the best in all horses. The trainers can improve your show horse or keep it “fine-tuned” and have a proven record of success with green horses. Flintrock Stables offers a comprehensive and detail-oriented lesson program for beginner to advanced riders. Private or semi-private lessons focus on flatwork, gymnastics, schooling courses, and proper equitation based on the rider’s aspirations and abilities. The program has five safe and experienced lesson horses, and unlike many top show barns, ship-ins are welcome.
