Training
Stacy Sutton specializes in training the Gypsy and Gypsy Vanner Performance Horses. Stacy believes that the old saying "quality not quantity" is very true and by carefully limiting the amount of Gypsies into her training program, it ensures that the quality of the training can be achieved with each and every special horse. Stacy trains Gypsies for show as well as family riding horses and accepts select young Gypsy Horses for starting. Dressage fundamentals are used as a foundation for all the Gypsy horses in training which easily translates to all forms of riding styles should the owner wish to show in a variety of disciplines. For young horses, lunging and ground work methods are used as a foundation for the under saddle work, making the transition to riding gentle and easy. For weanling foals, Stacy offer's a specialized early educational program that assists the foal in making a low-stress transition with fun learning and handling sessions and social activity. Stacy is available for fitting up and marketing select sale horses. For more details about our training program please visit the Vineyard Oak Training page.
