Our philosophy at Archer Farms is that a good foundation is essential to any training program. Our horses used at the farm or a horse here specifically to begin their career, or to overcome a particular difficulty: are given the time, understanding and positive reinforcement that they need to help them achieve their full potential as an equine athlete.
All horses are given a complete evaluation initially and realistic goals are set and a reasonable time frame estimated. Like any athletic program, each individual progresses at a different rate. We Here at Archer Farms believe that a thorough understanding of every horse and client’s strengths and weaknesses helps them to excel and achieve their true abilities.
Sharleen Exler our head trainer brings with her a lifetime of education, experience in National and International competition, an in-depth understanding of the equine psyche, as well as a sincere passion for her equine allies.
Many of the horses and students that Sharleen has trained have and continue to consistently succeed at Local, Regional and National levels. Results like this can only be achieved through hard work, dedication, long hours and the capacity to bring her client’s dreams to fruition.
That’s why communication between horse and rider, rider and instructor, as well as owner and trainer is so vital to success.
