Cook Training Stables

01/08/2026

We still have an opening for one horse for training. 24x24 pipe corral. The rain is over so there's not a better time to move in. We are a husband/wife team and your horse will get the best of care.

We can also take take a horse that needs lay up.

No cuckoos. Thank you. We are getting too old for that.

If you have a nice well-mannered horse, we also have lease opportunities with our other clients.

We are non-show, pleasure and dressage only. Private message me if you are interested.

We currently have an opening for one training client. We have a 24x24 pipe corral with a view.

Located in beautiful Del Mar / Carmel valley.

We are located at Ridgemar Equestrian, around the corner from the old Polo fields or down the street from Mary's tack.

We are a small, boutique business, husband/wife team, with over 70 years experience combined.

Our background is in eventing, But the clients we have at this juncture are non-show, pleasure, dressage, just looking for a consistent schedule for their horses, and a happy place to ride.

The Pipe corral is $900 a month without shavings, or $100 extra for savings or you can provide your own.

Training rates are $850 per month for full training which is 5 days a week, $650 for 3 days a week, and we do care for $600 a month.

We can also provide extra feed and supplements for an additional cost, or the client can provide their own.

Please contact me for a tour of the barn, we are a small business and we don't use grooms. It's just the two of us.

Don't wait if you're interested because we have to fill this stall by the end of the month. You may private message me or text me at 760-703-5551.

Come ride with us in beautiful Del Mar with the ocean breeze.

My eye is healing amaaazingly well!

My vision is crazy good and I have been very careful wearing my polarized glasses outside.

Many of you have reached out to me about my surgery and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Guitar time is much better because we play in a darkened room. The great news is I learned how to play without sight basically LOL....

So the hardcore fans stayed. But she is a singular. Paul bugged out. I do have the spirits of Oskar and Daisy next to her.

Missing my friend. Having someone so close to you die and so horribly, just puts things into perspective. Don't let the small things get you down.

Life is good. Cherish every day.

So excited to add two new family members to our small tribe.

Comet is a horse our client has been leasing for six months, he came up for sale, and she jumped at the chance. Thank you Hailey Flowers and McClane Peed of Flower Hill Farms. He is a beautiful horse, and our client is so happy to have her first time purchase.

Second............from Moorpark, this lovely QH boy. He is gorgeous and safe, quiet.........just what we were looking for. Thank you Jessica Roller.
