My daughter, now 21, has ridden at Silent Night Stables (SKS) for 6 years. We just finished a horse…read moreshow now that my daughter is riding for fun as an adult. I got to watch Shannon work with her newest young riders. If you want not only a great environment for your kids to beome excellent riders, but also great women and men, SKS is the perfect place. No cookie cutter training, Shannon gets to know each rider and creates a plan to ensure they succeed. The kids learn to care for their horses and do the work necessary to bond with them. Her riders consistently win championships and improve with every ride. They never get yelled at. Shannon trains the Zone 7 IEA team and almost always goes to the finals in team and individual categories. I can't express enough, how much my daughter benefitted from riding with Shannon. She cares about each girl and she cares about the horses. Horses at SKS get the best care and get to enjoy turnout, which they love and need. I never worry about our horses. Shannon knows everyone and has helped us buy and sell horses and she knows what she is doing. SKS is in Krum, easy to get to, just off I-35. It is an easy drive for really excellent training and a family environment. And financially SKS is fair and very reasonable making it easier to pay for shows. My invoices are always accurate and on time and Shannon makes it all very easy! First barn we have been at where I don't have to reconcile every charge and wonder why my vet bill is so high. SKS is a great choice.
