Training
|
At
Chatterbox Farm, we offer several different training programs
which cater to each horse’s individual strengths and weaknesses.
We understand that each horse is different therefore each program
is designed with your horse’s specific needs and character in
mind. We believe that in order to bring out the best in your
horse, variety plays an important role in a horse’s development.
Therefore, we incorporate hacking, free jumping, jumping under
saddle, and lunging using the Pessoa Lunging System into each
horses program. Here are some of the horses currently training at Chatterbox
Farm:

Makenzie

Makenzie is a 2005 Andalusian/Thoroughbred mare. This mare has a super presence, turning heads wherever she goes. She displays great talent to be the perfect dressage mount for her amateur owner and her super sweet disposition makes her an enjoyable horse to train and to have around the barn.

| Lumiere |
|
 |
|
| Born
in 2003, Lumiere is a registered Canadian Warmblood by the stallion
Lynx, out of an imported Holsteiner mare. Maya has owned Lumiere
since he was 5 months old, and has developed him herself from the
beginning. He began his show career competing successfully at 1st
level as a 5 year old and placed 3rd in the 5 year old
Performance Futurity class held at Palgrave in 2008. In 2009, he
competed at 3rd level and is now working towards 4th.

year in 2009 showing 2nd level and is now well on his way
to being confirmed at 3rd level. Ted has been in training

His quiet, gentle and willing nature makes him a pleasure to work
with, as well as his expressive movement and athleticism. |

Warmblood mare by Rubinstein and Makelaar. Ulita competed in the FEI

“Vicki” who was born in
2000, is a Trakhener cross by the stallion Bernstein. This lovely
black mare demonstrates great potential to be a competitive show
horse, and her ring presence catches everyone’s eye. We look
forward to watching Vicki and her owner achieve their show ring
goals in 2010.

| Pirate |
|
 |
 |
| “Jack”,
born in 2006, is a registered Hanoverian gelding by the stallion
Pablo (Pilot), out of a mare who is by Dressman (Delano). Jack came
to Chatterbox Farm to develop his skills as a young dressage horse
and to become a safe and reliable horse for his owner to enjoy and
eventually show. Jack’s sweet demeanour made him a real gentleman
to have around the barn!
"In
September 2009 I sent my recently started 3 year old gelding, Pirate
(aka Jack) to Chatterbox Farm for further training. Maya and her
staff did an excellent job over the next six weeks extending his
education and training under saddle. While he was there he was
treated like royalty, housed in a giant stall, turned out daily and
fed the best feed (I know this because when I picked him up, he
didn't want to leave). He learned to be a confident, happy youngster
with good ground manners and very responsive under saddle.The
facilities and staff are second to none and I would heartily
recommend Maya and Chatterbox Farm to anyone."
Sincerely,
Lisa Wood
