Our Facility
Our team is very lucky to have a wonderful facility for our lessons and events. Inavale Farms is a large, privately owned boarding facility about 15 minutes from OSU's campus. Along with approximately 60 boarder horses, Inavale has an adorable team of 15 school horses that are used for some of our lessons and for Inavale's lesson program. Inavale has an outdoor jumping arena as well as a covered indoor arena that allows us to escape the rain in the winter months.
Our Trainer
We take lessons with Inavale's head instructor, Kelsey Horn. Kelsey has been teaching at Inavale for 14 years & is certified by the US Eventing Association. She has competed up to the Intermediate ** level in eventing. She also runs Pinnacle Equine Training! While her primary focus & expertise is in eventing, she has lots of experience in other disciplines.
