Lear Stables

Hey everyone, I hope you are all staying safe and healthy. Currently for lessons we are booking out past March. Sarah and I are already teaching to our maximum capacity, so we are not able to add anyone else in to the schedule unless we get cancellations, and our wait list is already quite long. I genuinely apologize for this inconvenience, I wish we had more hours in a day! If you are a current client, please know you are at the top of the waiting list. If you have lessons... booked already and there are certain days or times that work best for you, please don’t forget to book those spots as far out as possible. You can always cancel or reschedule them as needed but if you do not book them, the spot will likely be taken by someone else. With over 70 students per week, I am no longer able to catch when someone has lapsed on scheduling, so please take a look, confirm what you have, and book what you want going forward. If you need my help confirming already booked lessons, I am happy to help you. As usual, last minute cancellations are permitted to any student who has any COVID symptoms, lives with or has been exposed to anyone with COVID or COVID symptoms, or has a pending COVID test. For all other cancellation reasons, please give at least 24 hour notice so that we can try to get someone from the wait list into your spot. Thank you all for your continued understanding. These have been unprecedented times for a variety of reasons, but our ultra packed winter schedule is definitely unprecedented as well. We love the enthusiasm, and we hope one silver lining of the pandemic is a larger generation of horse riders for years to come!

Spent the day around a different kind of Christmas tree this Christmas Eve. Wouldn’t have it any other way! #Learstables #christmastree #christmaseve #eventersofinstagram #eventersdoitbetter #gridwork

Hello all! I hope you had a peaceful and healthy holiday season. Our fleece logo zip up order is here! So sorry for the delay, it took much longer than usual. If you requested a certain size, please message me reminding me what you requested and let me know how I can best get it to you. If you didn’t request one but would like one, please do not message me yet, I will make a separate post letting everyone know what is left after the pre orders are picked up, as I did order a few extras. Thank you!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Winter is here, and I know the snow and cold can pose challenges for riders coming to lessons. Our indoor arena stays much warmer than most, and we make sure the driveway, parking lots and all doors are clear and ice free for visitors coming in and out. Layers are your friend and no one here will judge you for looking like Ralphie from A Christmas Story! However, if you are worried about driving conditions, or you or your child has troub...le tolerating the cold, I totally understand if you feel cancelling your lesson on a particular day is in your best interest. Please keep an eye on the weather and try to give us as much notice as possible for cancellations, as it gives us a chance to pull someone off our wait list. As usual, any illness or potential COVID exposure can cancel at any time without penalty. Stay warm, stay safe, stay healthy and ride on! See more

My week in Ocala was mostly focused on shopping for a very deserving person, but @amy_burgunder was nice enough to allow some time for me to take a lesson with @maxineprestoneventing yesterday. Thanks Maxine for the fun lesson, and for hooking us up with the magical unicorn we came here for! #ocalaflorida #eventersofinstagram #horseshopping #newbeginnings

Maya and Holly were not very helpful with tree decorating or wrapping, but they will still take the credit and pose by the tree. #christmas #christmastree #christmasdecor #cavalierkingcharlesspaniel #graytabbycat #graytabby #cavaliersofinstagram #catsofinstagram

#divineoath at @geneseevalleyridingdrivingclub spring horse trials. While 2020 has been crazy, a horse trial in October was a blessing in disguise. #opie #ottbsofinstagram #eventersofinstagram #horsetrials #ilovenewyork #fall

Hey all, I hope you are all safe and well. As most of you know, the safety of our riders is our number one concern. With Covid cases on the rise again, we are going to be even more strict with our distancing and sanitation protocols here at the farm. Please be aware of the following- 1. If anyone in your home is having sickness symptoms of ANY kind (fever, cough, sore throat, runny/stuffy nose, headaches/chills/fatigue etc) PLEASE STAY HOME and DO NOT come for your lesson unt...il you have been cleared by a medical professional to do so. There will be no charge for a late cancellation due to sickness, but please give us as much notice as you can. 2. When you arrive to the barn please continue waiting to be invited into the barn by your instructor. As usual, your temperature will be taken and you’ll be asked to wear a mask over your mouth and nose while in the barn. sanitize your hands before coming in- You’re welcome to use your own sanitizer or you can use the sanitizer provided here. As of right now, only the rider is allowed in the barn. Parents or family members are asked to please wait outside or in their cars. We are a small facility and we want to avoid crowding. Only one spectator is allowed per rider to watch the lesson, sorry for the inconvenience. 3. Boarders and leasers, please follow these same rules as you have been, and please follow the same rules about sickness/household sickness/Covid exposure. Masks while in barn, please avoid gathering in groups in the tack room or hanging and socializing close together. If the barn seems crowded when you arrive to get your horse, please be patient and wait until things quiet down. If the barn seems particularly busy please avoid lingering with your horse and taking up a tacking area. Thank you all for your continued participation, together we can help stop the spread of Covid-19

Congratulations Regan @green_eventing on her purchase of Timber. The bond and partnership they have formed over the last year has been a treat to watch, and its undeniable that they belong together so that they can both reach their full potential. Can’t wait to see how much more you accomplish!

Got all the lesson saddles re flocked/adjusted today to keep our lesson herd comfortable. Your saddle and your horse change shape every year, give your horse his best chance at staying sound, with tack that doesn’t hurt his back! #learstables #saddlefit #saddlefitter #loveyourhorse #blackcountrysaddles

Ordering more Lear Stables sweatshirts now that the cool weather is here! Please let me know (here, or privately) what size you would like so I can place an order!

Can’t wait for more photos I can post of my whole crew, but enjoy a few more of Op in his favorite phase. #divineoath #opie #ottbofinstagram #eventersofinstagram #eventersdoitbetter #jumpallthethings
