Training

 

At Chatterbox Farm, we offer several different training programs which cater to each horse’s individual strengths and weaknesses. We understand that each horse is different therefore each program is designed with your horse’s specific needs and character in mind. We believe that in order to bring out the best in your horse, variety plays an important role in a horse’s development. Therefore, we incorporate hacking, free jumping, jumping under saddle, and lunging using the Pessoa Lunging System into each horses program.  Here are some of the horses currently training at Chatterbox Farm:  

 

Hyacinthe

Hyacinthe is a 2005 Trakehner mare by the Trakehner stallion "Kirov". Hyacinthe has three dynamic, eye catching gaits and displays a very willing work ethic. She is going to begin her show career in 2011 at the  gold national shows. We look forward to watching her develop into the talented dressage horse we know she can be.

 

 Daedalus

Daedalus

Daedalus

Daedalus is a 2005 registered Hanoverian gelding by “De Laurentis” out of a mare by “Sam Steele”. Daedalus was bred by Windswept Farm and came to Chatterbox in September 2010. This black gelding is full of personality and his brave bold nature makes him a great horse for his new owner to develop her dressage skills on. Congrats to Gaill Tittley on finding her new partner for the show ring!

Makenzie

Andalusian/Thoroughbred Makenzie
Makenzie is a 2005 Andalusian/Thoroughbred mare. This mare has a super presence, turning heads wherever she goes. She displays great talent to be the perfect dressage mount for her amateur owner and her super sweet disposition makes her an enjoyable horse to train and to have around the barn.
Diego
 

Diego is a 5 year old imported Hanoverian gelding by Der Lord out of a Weltmeyer mare. Diego displays 3 fluid and powerful gaits and has a great work ethic. We have high hopes for this extremely talented gelding and look forward to seeing him develop. Diego will be showing in the FEI 5 year old class in 2010.

Dartara
Dartara

Dartara

Dartara is a 2006 mare by Don Frederico out of a lovely imported mare by Wunderbusch. This big, dark mare has a walk to die for and a very balanced, rhythmic trot and canter. Dartara just recently came to Chatterbox, so we look forward to watching her grow. Dartara was bred by Daelin Farm owned by Christian and Trudi Poschung. Congratulations goes out to Sara Trainor and her beautiful new mare!

 

Lumiere

Born in 2003, Lumiere is a registered Canadian Warmblood by the stallion Lynx, out of an imported Holsteiner mare. Maya has owned Lumiere since he was 5 months old, and has developed him herself from the beginning. He began his show career competing successfully at 1st level as a 5 year old and placed 3rd in the 5 year old Performance Futurity class held at Palgrave in 2008. In 2009, he competed at 3rd level and is now working towards 4th. Lumiere is a big, powerful moving horse with great potential to be a competitive Grand Prix horse in the future.

 

Outward Bound

“Ted” is an Appendix Quarter Horse born in 1997. Ted had a very successful year in 2009 showing 2nd level and is now well on his way to being confirmed at 3rd level. Ted has been in training with Maya for 2 years and has been a phenomenal horse to work with. His quiet, gentle and willing nature makes him a pleasure to work with, as well as his expressive movement and athleticism. 
 

 

 

Haley's Honour

Haley is a 2007 Elite Hanoverian mare by the stallion His Highness, out of a Weltmeyer mare. Haley was bred by Ferdinand Haupt of Equine Select and is now happily owned by Dianne Kerr. Haley is already showing great potential as a dressage horse and received wonderful comments at the 2010 Hanoverian Mare Inspection this past September where she received her Elite Mare Status. We look forward to seeing Haley develop and prepare for the FEI 4 yr olds in 2011.

 

 

 

Victoria

“Vicki” who was born in 2000, is a Trakhener cross by the stallion Bernstein. This lovely black mare demonstrates great potential to be a competitive show horse, and her ring presence catches everyone’s eye. We look forward to watching Vicki and her owner achieve their show ring goals in 2010. 

 

 

Pirate

“Jack”, born in 2006, is a registered Hanoverian gelding by the stallion Pablo (Pilot), out of a mare who is by Dressman (Delano). Jack came to Chatterbox Farm to develop his skills as a young dressage horse and to become a safe and reliable horse for his owner to enjoy and eventually show. Jack’s sweet demeanour made him a real gentleman to have around the barn!

"In September 2009 I sent my recently started 3 year old gelding, Pirate (aka Jack) to Chatterbox Farm for further training. Maya and her staff did an excellent job over the next six weeks extending his education and training under saddle. While he was there he was treated like royalty, housed in a giant stall, turned out daily and fed the best feed (I know this because when I picked him up, he didn't want to leave). He learned to be a confident, happy youngster with good ground manners and very responsive under saddle.The facilities and staff are second to none and I would heartily recommend Maya and Chatterbox Farm to anyone."

Sincerely, Lisa Wood
