Training

Kirsten Gray and Jannike Gray are offering training services at Sonnenhof Equestrian Center and, in limited instances, off-site. 

Our team of trainers stands united in believing in the systematic training and education of the horse, using lunging, long-lining, dressage, poles, cavallettis, Hangbahn, hacking and jumps in our training approach. We strongly believe in furthering our education consistently, and are active students of David Collins. All of us are USDF  / USEF Medalists, and we proudly participate in many clinics around the area to further our knowledge and skill level.

At Sonnenhof Equestrian Center we offer a customized boarding plan and  'artgerechte Haltung', which is a German term translating into "species appropriate horse keeping". This concept makes all our horses very happy: We explore who likes each other, who likes to be outside 24/7 during summer months, who is more comfortable with a paddock buddy etc. 

 We realize that every horse is different and has different needs. Whether you have a horse who needs to live outside, or one that requires maximum/minimum turnout, we are able to accommodate your needs. We also make sure that you are NOT paying for services you don't need; all services are customized on a as-needed basis.


  • All of the boarding prices listed below include:

  • 2-3 Grain feedings per day (16 cups max., quality Purina Feeds)

  • 3-4 Hay feedings per day 

  • Daily cleaning of stall and paddock

  • Daily turnout (weather permitting) for up to 9 hours

  • Farrier, Veterinary and Dental scheduling

  • Unlimited use of all facilities, incl. Indoor Arena with state-of-the art GT Footing
