I. EQUESTRIAN LIFE AT BOH
Equestrian Staff and Trainers
BOH is fortunate to have a highly capable and loyal management and grooming team as well as experienced, renowned professional trainers. They are very dedicated, knowledgeable, skillful, and enthusiastic in the care of our horses as well as excellent in the maintenance of the stables. Stable management is responsible for the care, feeding, turnout, and grooming of member and BOH school horses. Under their guidance, t hey routinely monitor the horses’ health and condition including temperatures, turnout, shoes, etc. in concert with, and at the direction of the trainers. It’s important to keep stable management and your trainer informed of any issues, concerns, or irregularities regarding your horse. The trainers at BOH are private contractors reviewed and approved by the Equestrian Committee, and approved by the Board of Directors. Their services rendered at BOH are billed to member Club accounts. Horse showing and other expenses incurred outside of the Club are billed directly by the trainers. Lesson times are booked directly with the trainers; please be considerate of the 24-hour cancellation policy and note that there are associated lesson and school horse (if applicable) fees when cancellations happen with less than 24 hours' notice. BOH trainers are all experienced in buying, selling, and leasing quality horses. The perfect match between horse and rider can bring many successful and pleasurable rides! Trainer and Assistant Trainer bios are provided on the following pages for members who may need to select a trainer. After reading the bios in this booklet, it is suggested that you meet with the trainers and take some lessons. After a few lessons, you may find a trainer style that you prefer . Lessons can be with your privately owned horse, or one of the Club’s school horses (please see Section V of this booklet on the School Horse Program). From time to time, BOH also hosts visiting trainers to give clinics and teach or demonstrate other disciplines. Except in cases of emergency, please do not phone or text trainers or stable management before 7 AM or after 7 PM.
