Stacie Sprague has been working the A-Circuit on the East Coast from New York to Florida most of her life. Her focus being on showjumpers, Stacie has many years of showing, training, and teaching experience. Her lesson program at Martin Downs Equestrian Center expands weekly with students both local and from abroad coming to train and show with her. With a string of lesson horses, lease horses, and privately owned show contenders pairing each rider to a suitable mount for pleasure or show is one of Stacie’s specialties. In addition to lessons and showing for the Hunter/Jumper arena, Stacie makes herself available to assess sale horses, off-site training, matching riders to new horses, and even has become sought after to school competition dressage horses over jumps to gain more conditioning and diversity in their training. Stacie is a wonderful addition to the talent at Martin Downs Equestrian Center and we highly recommend her both on-site and off-site.
