Durkee Hill Stables

Durkee Hill Stables Durkee Hill Stables is a full care boarding facility focused on individual care for both horse and rider offering english riding lessons and foxhunting.

Durkee Hill Stables began in 2005 and since then has been steadily growing. What began as a 7 stall barn with just 2 pastures has become a newly renovated 19 stall facility with lush grass pastures, all weather turnouts, an all weather riding arena and a small cross country schooling course. The views are gorgeous and the atmosphere of Durkee Hill Stables makes it a place that you want to spend ti

me at. Lana spends many hours in the local parks! You will never be board of the same old riding arena at Durkee Hill!

"If, when a rider's leg is applied, the horse responds by going above the bit, then we must re-educate the response. The response of "leg to rein" much always produce a softer, rounder, and more secure outline. When the leg aid initiates a request, the reins must make it clear that it is not acceptable for the horse to go above the bit. They do this by holding against the tendency. Meanwhile, the leg aid continues to ask the question until the horse finds that a lower, softer, less resistant contact on their end produces the same from the rider. This will now enable the rider to allow the horse to answer the question the legs were asking (for example, a transition). It also sets the tone of future requests-that is, leg to rein means acceptance of both before answering the rider's question.
- Has your horse been taught the subject?
-Has your horse been asked the question in the correct way at the right time?"

Hey friends! Just a reminder - We have stall gates in a lot of stalls and buckets in every stall.

When you put the blankets on with the clips out they can catch on the gates and buckets and can get stuck or break. Always clip towards the horses bodies!

đź‘‹ This is a very important memo! đź‘‹ Please make sure you always buckle your blankets and tack into your horse. When they face out they have the risk of getting caught on fences, buckets, and anything else your horse might find.

BY PIPER KLEMM “It’s Not My Fault” It doesn’t matter whose fault it is. It’s probably just how the day is going. So many issues happen every single day with all the moving parts at the barn. Instead of wasting everyone else’s time having to put fingers at something (or someone) else, use...
