Helping Make Wishes Come True
In
July, Stoner Ridge Farm will partner
with the Make-A-Wish®
Foundation to help make a wish come true
for thirteen year old Emma DeWeese. She
is the daughter of Frank and Chris
DeWeese from Louisville, KY. Emma was
diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis
and Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis in
March of 2003.....
Because of her deep love for horses and
her love of riding, it was a natural
choice that her wish included a Rocky
Mountain horse as well as lessons and
training with Robert ...

is a full service equine facility dedicated to
breeding, raising, and training gaited Mountain Horses. Located in the
heart of Thoroughbred country in historic Paris, KY, Stoner Ridge Farm
has access to over 100 acres of trails, 30 stalls, hot walker, round pens, outdoor arena, and barn area for year round riding and training
for both show and trail horses.
A
Training Philosophy
Foundation First Mountain Horse Training™
is Stoner Ridge Farm's training philosophy. It is a philosophy of
communication that teaches understanding rather than relying on
mechanics or fear. Our approach consists of teaching our horses from
the ground up by first establishing good ground manners. We stress the
importance of gaining trust and respect from the horses we train by
minimizing the prey-predator relationship. Our horses learn to give to
pressure by moving away from that pressure. They learn to bend and
flex laterally as they become supple and compliant. Our foundation
first philosophy combines the mental, emotional, and physical aspects
of our equine companions. They become responsive and willing before
ever being ridden. Our solid foundation provides the essential support
needed for all future training regardless of the breed or discipline.
In the process of learning new skills, it is not unusual for horses to
become frustrated. When we have established a solid foundation first,
we can back up in our training process to a point where the horse
works well. We allow him time to think and make the right choice.
Horses will then be able to move on to the new skill from an attitude
of confidence. As when building a house, the strength of the structure
depends on a solid foundation. Likewise, the mental attitude,
emotional stability, and physical development of our horses depend on
the strength of our training program - a program like Foundation First
Mountain Horse Training ™.
SRF's
selective breeding program insures outstanding foals which are the
foundation for future generations. Our horses are registered with American Gaited,
Kentucky
Mountain Saddle
Horse Association, Spotted Mountain Horse Association, Mountain Pleasure
Horse Association, and/or the Rocky Mountain Horse Association which make up the Mountain Horse
breeds known for their mellow,
people-oriented nature and their smooth lateral four-beat gait. There
are always quality weanlings, yearlings, two year olds, and mature
horses
for sale that will meet riders' high
standards regardless of
riders' ability level. Please explore our site and contact us if you'd
like more information on any of our programs. Good times, good friends,
and good horses await you at Stoner Ridge Farm.

Mission Statement
Our
mission at Stoner Ridge Farm is to serve the needs of our clients and their horses. We utilize proven horsemanship techniques to reduce
horses’ fear as we teach them to respect their handlers. Within the structure of our training program, we make
adjustments to meet the unique needs and talents of each animal with the goal
that every horse meets his highest potential whether it is
on the trail, in the show ring, or in the breeding of
potential offspring. We desire, also, to build trust and friendship as we help
educate our clients on the selection, safety, and effective
ownership of their equine companions. In addition, it is our aim to gain knowledge through
professional activities and organizations that influence
the Mountain Horse industry.
