The SARC Team

Ready to compete? The SARC Team gives dedicated riders the experience of real, structured competition — from Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) meets to eventing. It's riding with purpose, teammates beside you, and Olivia in your corner.

Team membership is more than just showing up at competitions. It means riding regularly, attending team practices, developing show ring skills, and building the kind of horsemanship that performs under pressure.

The SARC Team is a community — students who grow together, cheer each other on, and develop friendships around a shared love of horses that often lasts a lifetime.

  • IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) competition
  • Eventing opportunities
  • Regular team practices and clinics
  • Show preparation and coaching
  • Inclusive, supportive team culture

Horse Training

Olivia's expertise extends well beyond the lesson arena. Serene Acres offers professional horse training services for owners looking to bring along young horses, refine an experienced mount, or address specific training challenges.

Drawing on her UK-trained background and years of developing horses at all stages of their careers, Olivia works patiently and systematically to produce horses that are safe, confident, and a pleasure to ride.

Whether you have a green horse just starting under saddle or a seasoned horse in need of a tune-up, Serene Acres' training program produces real, lasting results.

Leasing Program

The leasing program at Serene Acres is the natural next step for riders who are ready to deepen their horse relationship beyond weekly lessons. Leasing gives you consistent time with one horse — building a true partnership — without the full financial and logistical commitment of ownership.

Serene Acres maintains a select group of well-trained, well-suited horses available for lease arrangements. Each horse is matched thoughtfully to the rider, taking into account experience level, goals, and personality.

Leasing is ideal for students who are riding regularly, working toward competition, or simply wanting a more immersive relationship with a horse they can call their own — for a season or longer.

Summer Camps

For young riders, Serene Acres summer camps are a week (or more) of pure horse-loving magic. Campers spend their days riding, learning horse care, understanding barn management, and making friends who share their passion.

Camps are designed to give riders significant saddle time every day, along with ground work and horse handling skills that build genuine horsemanship from the ground up. Beginners and those with some experience are both welcome.

Camp dates and availability vary by season — contact us to get on the list for upcoming sessions.

Camp Highlights

  • ✓ Daily riding sessions
  • ✓ Horse care & barn management
  • ✓ Grooming and tacking
  • ✓ Fun, safe, structured environment
  • ✓ Small group sizes for personal attention
