Locke Meadows LLC offers an outstanding lesson and training program. The trainer, Rachael Adams, has shown and won through the National Level. She offers lessons in Hunters, Equitation, and lower levels of Eventing. Some of the highlights of her show career include being named the American Paint Horse Association's very first Six PAC Champion. To earn this award, one horse must be #1 Nationally in 6 different events. Tags Scenic Rose, a horse owned and trained by Rachael, finished #1 in 8, a feat that has never been accomplished by another horse. In 2002, Rachael was named the Virginia Horse Show Association's Associate Adult Amateur Champion out of over 200 riders. In the past 6 years, Rachael has produced numerous USEF "A" show winners both on the line and in the Hunters. Rachael limits her riding to a limited number of horses, but enjoys teaching children as well as adults everything from  learning to jump to showing at the "A" shows.

We offer a tailored program to fit your horse's needs. Our horses are taught using a balanced curriculum of positive and negative reinforcement. Just like people, each horse is unique and every horse has a different style of learning. Our clients are amazed at how quickly their horses respond to our training program and instead of the horse resenting being worked with, usually the opposite happens. We produce horses with positive attitudes towards work and allow them to enjoy their jobs.  The owner is included through-out the training process, as the most important point is that the owner be able to handle the horse and not just the trainer. What good is a horse if the trainer can ride it, but it does not respond to the owner? So come and see why we say "We don't ride our horses, we dance with them. Let the dance begin!"
