Riderless Horses in Washington
Liberty Farms Sport Horse Company, with 2 locations in Olympia, WA, and Graham, WA, just started a program for people needing good quality horses to ride. It is called the “Rising Stars Horse and Rider Development Program”. They are breeders who breed primarily Hungarian horses, and some other warmblood breeds. They offer several different options, such as purchasing a horse at a discounted price, leasing a horse, or developing a horse and share in the profits when the horse is sold. Riders must apply for this program and horses are awarded based on horse availability, rider ability, references, interviews, etc. Most horses are very versatile, with abilities to compete successfully in the dressage, hunter/jumper, or eventing disciplines, but some may also be able to do endurance, driving, or western. Most horses are green, but have been started correctly under saddle.
