Canterbury Stables — Local services in Town of Fenner

Canterbury Stables continues to exceed my wildest expectations as a veterinarian and horse owner. Their commitment to horse care and safety, rider education, and meeting the individualized needs of each horse and owner is unparalleled. Nancy, Kim, and the entire staff genuinely care about my horse's well being and go above and beyond to offer exemplary communication and services. The facility is unlike any other in Central New York; 3 arenas of state of the art dust free footing, hay feedings 5 times daily, radiant heated floors, and the ONLY electronic lesson horse.

"Wizard" - the electronic lesson horse lets me continue to develop and hone my effective and correct use of aides. By offering all of the dressage movements through Grand Prix (as well as stadium and cross country jumping!) I can appreciate and experience these movements on Wizard, then take those aides to my actual horse in the arena. My trainer is able to make instantaneous adjustments in my position and aides by standing next to me every stride while I ride Wizard. The feedback Wizard provides via the many sensors under the saddle, rider legs, bridle, and seat-bones allow me to track my adjustments in aides and ride more effectively, from one stride to the next. I have never experienced such an educational tool, and its effect on my rider effectiveness is indescribable.

Thank you for continuing to exceed my wildest expectations, support me as I pursue my goals as an equestrian and horse owner, and keep my horse...

My daughter has been riding for 3 years at Canterbury and we cannot say enough about it. The staff is extremely professional, instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and understand each of their riders, guiding lessons accordingly. They are family orientated offering numerous family friendly events throughout the year. The Pony Camp offered over the summer is a great way for children to learn more about horses and exposure to riding. ...
