A place where riders feel at home

At Vernadee, we believe the best riding experiences come from strong relationships — between horse and rider, students and coaches, and the families who make up our barn community.
​
Our programs are designed to give every horse and rider personalized attention, encouragement, and the opportunity to grow at their own pace. Whether it’s your first time in the saddle or you’re continuing your riding journey, our goal is that you always feel welcomed, supported, and at home.

Kind Words

"This is a truly horse-first facility where horse welfare always comes first. The owners and staff provide excellent care, communicate well, and foster a laid-back, welcoming and drama free environment. Riders benefit from thoughtful, bio-mechanics-based instruction and ongoing education in horsemanship, horse care and safety both on the ground and under saddle."

Holly Micuda

"Vernadee is such a caring place, the welfare of the horses and the people are always put before everything else. All the lessons are taught with a deep understanding of the animal and rider biomechanics. Gail has cultivated a unique community where everyone is seen and accepted, where people work together to make sure all of our horses are happy and healthy. I have spent most of my life riding at Vernadee and I can't imagine a better place to have been able to learn and grow!"

ShayLA Carley

"I have been part of this barn for 20 years, and my horse called it home for those same 20 years. This barn has been such an important part of my life, it truly feels like so much more than a place to ride. Since coming here, I have taken lessons with Gail and the other instructors, all of whom foster a positive, supportive environment. They focus on building a true partnership with your horse rather than simply getting on and riding. That approach has shaped me as a rider and deepened my love and understanding of horses. The barn community is something truly special. The friendships, support, and shared love of horses have meant so much to me over the years. I feel incredibly grateful to have been part of this community for so long, and I look forward to continuing to learn, grow, and share my passion here for many years to come."
