Laughton Training & Sales

My children have been riding at LTS for two years and I am more than pleased with our experience. They have progressed well with their learning and the coaches are attentive to each rider. It's obvious how much the horses are loved and well cared for. The owners are also present, very involved and are always striving for excellence. This is evident with the new farm. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing for both the horses and riders. We look forward to our time spent at the barn each week and often go for visits, (even if we aren't riding that day!)

I have been riding at LTS for over a year now and I can honestly say that this is the best riding stable I have ever experienced. LTS has welcomed me to their barn with superb customer service, professionalism, and a true caring demeanor. The coaches here are knowledgeable, caring, and genuine. They never hesitate to help or answer one of my many questions. At LTS health and safety is their number one priority. Tessa and her staff do everything possible to ensure their riders and horses are safe and well cared for. I have never felt unsafe at this barn and Tessa always goes out of her way to help me. She is genuinely interested in seeing her students excel. LTS and their coaches have taken my riding to the next level and helped me find the best horse to partner with. I’m happy to say that LTS is like a second home to me. The community of people is outstanding and supportive and there is such a wide range of excellent horses. Tessa has done an impeccable job of building this community and I couldn’t be happier. Thank you LTS for making my riding experience so wonderful!

We’ve just recently joined the LTS family in December 2018, but FAMILY is truly the right word. We were made extremely welcome from day one by everyone! Owner, employees, boarders, riders and parents, all of them, exceptionally nice people.The entire feeling is one of acceptance and inclusion. We had left our previous stable because of bullying and I can safely say there is zero tolerance for any nonsense. I wish we had made the change earlier!Tessa and her staff give the horses superior care and it shows!! Happy healthy horses! She will go the extra distance for any horse needing more attention. She is always looking out for their best interests!! And not only horses but donkeys, pigs, cats, ducks and dogs too!Tessa (and all is the coaches) treat each rider as an individual, teaches to their strengths and helps them overcome their weaknesses, always, always in a positive and supportive way!The overall environment is fun and upbeat, everyone looking out for one another and cheering them on. They support each other, not only horse related, but in life!!This is my happy place!! I am proud to say that I am part of the LTS Family!!If you want a happy horse or happy rider this is the place for you!!

I've been at LTS for a few years now and it's become like a second home. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, and always make time to answer any questions I might have in lessons and even around the barn. I've gone from a weekly lesson rider to a new boarder and have received tremendous support from coaches in training my horse, as well as learning more about equine care. The horses are extremely well taken care of.I've had the chance to take lessons with Tessa and Jen and have loved every minute of my lessons. I always walk out of the ring feeling I've learnt something new.Whether you're interested in starting riding for the first time, or an experienced rider I couldn't think of a better place to be. I love it here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else.

I started at LTS 2 years ago and was a bit nervous as I had always ridden at a small family farm for the 20yrs of my riding career. The experience has been amazing! Very welcoming barn family with lots of positive encouragement that has even convinced me to get back into the show ring and back into jumping after a 10 yr hiatus. The horses are extremely well cared for and there is a horse for everyone’s riding and confidence level. I absolutely love the new facility. Beautiful brand new barn, fields for hacking and lots of turnout. Great place for all levels of riders.

My daughter has had an unwavering passion for horses from a young age. All programs I had inquired into for years wouldn't take her due to her age. I wish I had known about LTS earlier, as they have been the most welcoming for younger children. My daughter at 6 years old has been training with LTS for the past 6 months. She eagerly looks forward to her lessons. Her instructors Jolene and Allison have been beyond amazing! They are so knowledgable and have helped build her confidence. We have been very pleased with her progress all due to their support and dedication.Also, the new farm is such a pleasure to visit. It's so peaceful. My daughter loves to arrive early and be the last to leave as she enjoys greeting the horses, ponies and donkeys. It's apparent the animals are very well taken care of. Additionally, the staff has always been very pleasant. We are extremely pleased with our experience overall.

I have had the wonderful experience of riding at LTS for the past 5 years and although I have moved on to owning my own horse and boarding at a different facility I will hold the memories I made at LTS forever.I also have my younger sister still riding there so I get to visit sometimes, which always makes my day.I have noticed a few very very minor issues but even then all of them seemed to be solved almost immediately in a professional and understanding way. They have in no way effected my view of the farm, instead they have even strengthened my respect for Tessa and her team's love for the sport and their horses and wiliness to improve even further.Over the years I have been able to grow and specifically thanks to one of their coaches, Jen, and the ladies that have been in my lessons I have finally been able to break out of my shell and improve as a rider.As for their horses, they are very well loved and extremally well cared for. Tessa takes pride in how lovely her school horses are and she should be! Every horse that I have had the opportunity to ride I have learned boatloads from and would trust with my life!If you are looking at a place to either start your riding journey, or advance it, I would highly reccomend LTS! Weather you would like to join the show team or just learn about horses and ride for fun, LTS is a wonderful choice and I am so glad I chose to join LTS all those years ago!I could honestly write an entire essay on this place but it is very near and dear to my heart and has honestly helped shape me as a person!

I’ve been with Tessa at LTS for around 7 years now and I’ve gone from being a lesson student to owning my own horse and through everything Tessa and the staff at the farm have been so good to us. My horse came to the farm skinny and right away we found a feed program that worked for her mostly thanks to Tessa. Recently my girl went through some health issues and Tessa and the staff were so good to us making sure she was okay. Also while my horse was off she kept me riding on some of her horses which I was so grateful for.

Making the move to Laughton Training and Sales was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We spent countless hours searching online, visiting barns, talking to people, asking questions and are so thrilled we landed here! We were also very nervous moving to a new barn but that quickly faded as we were welcomed by everyone with open arms!LTS is a family run business with coaches that have years of experience and expertise as well as dedicated staff that care for the horses as if they were their own. As a horse owner, we were not only looking for a great place for our daughter to improve her skills (she is a competive rider) but we also wanted the very best for Chai. And that is exactly what we are getting. Tessa and her staff helped Chai adjust to her new surroundings by finding her the perfect stall, allowing her the time to get to know her new herd, helping to find the perfect feeding program for her, suggesting a wonderful vet and ferrier for Chai and answering all of our many questions with a smile and suggestions. If Chai looks a little off" in a lesson

I have been with Tessa for many years now. Both as a lesson student, and a boarder. The barn is always well kept, and clean, and has an absolutely welcoming atmosphere. The horses receive excellent specialized care, in order to guarantee that each horse is in the best health.The customer service I receive here is amazing, prompt reply to emails, and a constant communication in regards to updated policy- especially in regards to the situation with COVID-19.I have the amazing opportunity to have lessons from Jen, Olga and Tessa and I can only say wonderful things about them. They have been insurmountable in bringing my horse back into work after an injury, and have worked with not only myself, but also my vet in order to make sure that we bring my horse back into work properly.I highly recommend this barn to ANYONE, LTS has fabulous programs available for all rider abilities at all ages! I can honestly say I wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
