TRAINING & LESSONS

TRAINING-

  Our training program at Take A Chance Farms specializes in off-the-track thoroughbreds, whether they raced a week ago or years ago.  We believe it is important for these young racehorses to transition correctly and adapt to their new lives as riding horses.  If you are interested in having us work with your former racehorse, please contact us to discuss each individual case.  For more information on our training program contact Heidi at heidi@takeachancefarms.com. 
  Although former racehorses are our specialty, we can also accomodate your young or green horse and introduce him to the fundamentals of eventing and help you prepare him for his first event or improve his skills.  Again, please contact me to discuss and outline your horses individual needs and goals

RIDING LESSONS -

  I am willing to come to you at your facility or can arrange for a haul-in at mine.  A school horse may be available depending on scheduling and the riders skill level.
