Our Horses

Currently included within the breeding herd are Quarter Horse, Standardbred, Paint and Thoroughbred broodmares and foals. ATI - owned and client mares are foaled each year at the center, providing an opportunity to the students for hands-on instruction in foaling, breeding and subsequent mare and foal care.

Selected foals are sold as weanlings and yearlings through private sale or public auction and are an important source of income for the center. Other selected foals are retained as Two-Year-Olds and used as part of the saddle horse training course. The center is home to four stallions:

We have horses to suit every skill level, from beginner riders to advanced jumpers. The majority of the lesson horses have been generously donated by their previous owners.
