A premier Hunter & Jumper stable nestled in the heart of Bluegrass Country.
We invite you to browse our website for an overview of our program. If it looks like Punchestown Stable might be a good fit for your needs, please reach out to discuss specifics and schedule a tour.
Welcoming competitive riders of all ages
Our program centers around the development of quality show horses and the continuing education of competitive riders. Our clients are goal-oriented amateurs, young adults attending local universities while also competing on USEF circuits, and young riders learning the ropes from Short Stirrup to Junior Jumpers.
Life gets busy. You don’t have to put your show goals on hold for it.
Customized support for your show goals
While we require all horses boarded at Punchestown to be in a training program, we also recognize that every owner has distinct needs. Whether that’s lessons only, weekly professional rides, or occasional tune ups, we offer whatever professional support your unique show goals require. We also have the means to accommodate a full-service experience when needed, or if preferred at shows, but do not require it.
Several of our graduating students have gone on to ride for NCAA teams in college
Some of those students took their first riding lessons at Punchestown Stables.
If you suspect your child has been bitten by the horse bug, it may be time to schedule a lesson with our qualified instructors on our beloved school horses.
Training
We welcome dedicated riders pursing serious show goals, and promising sport-bred horses in need of a quality program. Our Training Packages include full-care board & weekly coaching &/or rides to suit your competitive needs.
Showing
Our show calendar accommodates most competitive goals, from winter showing in Florida to donning your first back-number & riding on our local circuits. We also benefit from proximity to the KY Horse Park and its year-round calendar of top-notch USEF competition.
Lessons
Our beloved, show-quality school horses are a vital part of our barn family, and capable of taking you from your first riding experience through your first shows. Contact us to start your journey, or to schedule an evaluation for placement in our regular group lessons.
