Avanti Sporthorses

At Avanti Sporthorses, we’ve built a program that feels different the moment you arrive. Whether you’re an adult amateur getting back into riding or looking for the right place for your child to start on ponies, our focus is simple quality horses, correct training, and an environment you actually enjoy being part of.

We believe horses perform their best when they’re happy, which is why daily turnout and proper care are a priority here, not an afterthought. Our program is designed to help riders grow with confidence, whether you’re taking your first lesson or getting back into the show ring.

One of the biggest advantages we offer is having a strong, rotating group of sale horses right here at the farm. Instead of traveling all over, you can try multiple quality horses in one place and find the right match with guidance you can trust.

Just as important, we’ve created a welcoming, drama-free atmosphere where both kids and adult riders feel comfortable, supported, and excited to ride.

We’re located just outside of Savannah, GA, and we keep our program intentionally limited so we can maintain a high level of care and attention for every horse and rider.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change, finding the right fit, or starting fresh, message us to schedule a visit, a lesson, or to try one of our sale horses.

I’m not into that customer stuff, Emily Elek writes.

You know what I mean. There are so many in this business who refer to their “customers.” And the customer is always right…right? Except the barn is not an outlet mall. Our customer support team is run by small ponies with an agenda.

And I’m not the general manager. I’m the trainer.

In my program, you stop being a customer the minute you sign your boarding agreement. That monetary exchange pays for your horse’s room and board, so to speak, and serves as a promise that your animal will have a safe, comfortable, and healthy living arrangement.

But with everything else, you are a student and an athlete. I am your teacher and your coach.

I believe this is an important distinction to make, because it sets the tone for the relationship moving forward. I see the people who board and ride with me as students first and foremost. All good equestrians, including professionals and trainers like myself, need to be lifelong learners. Every barn should have the mantra, “Be a learner not a knower” blasted above the entry. Because it’s here where you open your mind and accept your vulnerabilities in the pursuit of learning alongside the ultimate teachers—horses.

Lessons have no set timeline because while each starts with a goal and an exercise to achieve that goal, your horse is not a bicycle. They will feel hot, cold, interested, uninterested, bored, excited, and tired. On some days, repetition will be the answer. On other days, taking a small win and coming back tomorrow will be the answer. Making the call about what kind of day it is requires my students to rely on my expertise.

When you come to the barn, you are paying for a lesson. You are learning. You aren’t paying for my time to use as you see fit. You’re paying for my expertise on how your animal and you, in that order, are best served and how to progress in this sport.

If you want to be a customer, there are options to be a customer. As long as you are an empathetic horse owner, I support you finding a customer-based program that meets your needs. That is not my program. However, the choice to be a student or a customer is one to be made by adults. I do not believe that junior riders should be customer in any program. Truly learning this sport, in order to make educated decisions about your role in it beyond your junior years, is essential to proper, lifelong empathy and horsemanship.

Roman van’t Goovahof x Exxon Hedonist

“Verona” is the kind of young horse everyone wants in the barn — talented, straightforward, and ready to be developed in any direction. A beautiful mover with plenty of scope and excellent technique over fences, she combines quality with an easy, willing attitude.

Comfortable and uncomplicated on the flat with easy lead changes and an honest, eager work ethic. A lover in the barn, she’s sweet and easy to have around. She is barefoot and an easy keeper.

A very exciting prospect for the hunter, jumper, or any direction you want.
