Welcome to Tera Stables in Staunton, VA.  Our horse boarding facility offers 30 beautiful acres of horse pastures, barns, ridding rings and running sheds, two miles west of Staunton.  I am a full time trainer, I can train your horse or you.  I offer beginning to experienced ridders lessons in western, or english.

Let me begin by introducing myself. My name is Tera Michael and I have been riding and competing for about 16 years now. I have competed everything from the A rated hunters to the APHA and AQHA circuit. I have had some VERY sucessful 2 year olds on the APHA circuit including many of Georgeousorkie babies. Was in the AQHA circuit with Steve Meadows and with Tracy Garland on the APHA circuit. After leaving youth I started to work for Tracy Garland learning and establishing horses in training for western pleasure and hunter under saddle. As of now I am mostly teaching students to strive for the best and for them to meet each of their goals in the horse world. Mainly running the local shows introducing the competition to the ones who have not had the experience. We keep it competitive but keep the fun in the love of horses.

We have a ridding ring with a full course for the hunter jumpers and plenty of land to just enjoy your horse at your pleasure.  Both of our barns have tack rooms and indoor and outdoor wash stalls for grooming.  We invite you to look at our photo gallery to see some of our pictures of the facility and our pets.

I also have a full dog boarding facility were all the runs are indoor and outdoor runs.  We love the large dogs as well as the small house pets.  Please visit our dog folder to enjoy some pictures of our dogs.
