From young horse raising, starting young horses under saddle, problem solving, schooling, and campaigning and showing.
Whether you're looking for a safe place to raise a weanling and getting ready for the next step in their career, the raising program at HVF focuses on developing a partnership mindset while keeping your youngster proud of who they are to keep that spark in the arena. Once beginning the under saddle process, your horse will get to experience all the exposure to the aids and develop the confidence to carry a rider successfully into any arena. Megan also has several years of experience with restarting OTTBs as well as restarting troubled horses. Megan's experience enables her to give them the confidence and emotional regulation to handle the stimulus of daily barn life as well as the tools needed to take the same capacity to shows, clinics, and trail rides.
Megan's main focus is to help equestrians achieve their goals with their horses while maintaining their dignity, respecting their own unique personalities, and honoring their specific learning styles.
Along the way, she's had the opportunity to have mentors from all across the equine industry from cowboys to 3 Day Event riders to classical Dressage masters.
What Megan has encountered is that there's a lot of knowledge around a specific sport and riding focus, but not that much support in how to get to your desired end result while maintaining a good relationship with your horse. Maintaining training sometimes doesn't feel like it aligns with honoring your horse.
Megan wants to help you turn your frustrations into your fascination by teaching you how to bridge the gap between correct training and truly communicating with your horse.
Through changing your mind set and adhering to truly simplifying the work, let's achieve your goals together!
Megan Compton is a USDF Bronze and Silver medalist on horses that she has raised from the time they were weaned and trained up the levels through her empathetic and classical system. She is also a USDF L Graduate with Distinction and judges several schooling shows in the Southeast each year.
Throughout the years, Megan has grown to love working with the "problem" horses, restarting horses under saddle, teaching riders of all levels and ages, and starting young horses under saddle. She has been blessed to learn from some amazing riders, trainers, and judges including: Walter Zettl, Charles de Kunffy, Karen and David O'Connor, Janet Foy, Courtney King Dye, Debbie McDonald, Sarah Lockman, Lehua Custer, Kate Phillips, and JJ Tate. Megan highly prioritizes her own education knowing that increasing her education means increasing her students' education. With her sights set on the future, Megan hopes to develop her own horses to the international levels of competition as they mature enough for the demands of top sport. Megan's priority in the show arena is to be able to represent what can be possible when your training focus isn't just the movements and the test, but protecting your horse's dignity and helping the horse find joy in the work.
