Services Offered

Whether there is a new saddle, new horse, or arena project in your future, a professional consultation can make the difference.

April has many years of experience and the knowledge needed to determine if your saddle fits both you and your horse. Proper saddle fit is a very important factor for your horse especially, but also for your own comfort and security. A poorly-fitting saddle can not only harm and cause irreparable damage to your horse, but can also harm you. You can bring your horse and saddle to YFRS for a consultation or April can come to you to make sure you’ve got the right saddle for both you and your horse. 

Thinking of buying a horse? Sometimes it’s better to have a knowledgeable eye with you when you go looking for “the right horse.” April can help you select your new equine partner. Not all horses suit everybody, and this service can help you to save both time and money. It is always a joy to fit the right horse to the right rider.

Build new or repair the existing? Many horse barn owners have faced this dilemma, and usually it ends up being a costly exercise. At YFRS, we have a superb outdoor arena that truly has stood the test of time and looks as good today as it did when it was first built. The arena was built to the specifications of the International Federation of Equestrians (FEI). If you are considering building your own arena and need experienced advice or simply are looking to repair or update your current arena, we can help by pointing you in the right direction…….and not the most expensive either! Some unscrupulous companies may rely on your lack of knowledge and will drain you of your savings. You can undertake this project and make an excellent job of it without breaking the bank!
