Resident Trainers

Currently there are five Resident Trainers at Burlington Farm. They offer a variety of services including riding lessons, horse training, horse sales, horse show coaching and horse trailering.

Resident Trainers are not employees of Burlington Farm - they are independent contractors. Each trainer has his/her own rates that are charged for services. All Resident Trainers are fully insured with $1,000,000.00 of Liability Insurance.

Lesson appointments and training arrangements/sessions should be made directly with the trainer and do not have to go through the Burlington Farm office.
