A boutique sales and DEVELOPMENT program with an individualized approach.
We focus on quality over quantity and an elevated and personalized client experience on both the seller and buyer side when it comes to our sales and development program. Our training and sales stable takes a horse-first and individualized approach where we seek to bring out the best in each horse.
Our mission is to develop and market top-quality show horses who love their jobs and perform at their best, as well as match clients to their ideal horses to help you reach your goals in the show ring with the right partner. We love our horses and our clients!
Specializing in top-quality hunters, equitation horses, and jr/am jumpers.
Our training stable is a small, hands-on training program based in Northern California at Opus Sporthorses, where we put the health and happiness of our horses first, as well as work hand-in-hand with each and every client to focus on the individual goals and needs of each sales and/or development horse. We show at a carefully selected group of shows that historically do best for sales, including the full November - March Thermal circuit, Sonoma Horse Park, Kentucky Horse Park, Temecula, Del Mar, Colorado Horse Park, and Paso Robles.
