Coppergate Equestrian LLC

Hello! I hoped I had many decades before making this announcement, but due to financial circumstance, I will be closing Coppergate equestrian. I’m so grateful for everything I’ve learned and the people that stuck with me on this journey. I’ve met a lot of amazing horses and wonderful students along the way. It’s been a tough 7-8 years running this program, seems like forever but also over in a blink of an eye. I’ll disappointed and sad though I hope to hold on to the good times.
My horses will be staying in my owner ship for the time being as they will be moving along with me to my new full time job.
Now I would like to give a big thank you to shadow creek farm for giving me a place to land and a great opportunity becoming more involved in lessons, etc. I’m hoping this is the start of something great! Thank you personally to Corinne Deans, for her continued help and support during all these life changes.

Coppergate equestrian has a stall available for board. Small private lesson facility, very friendly. Great full care, horses live out but stay in for bad weather. Horses come in twice a day for feeding, blanket changes, and fly stuff. Shaving bedding and feed out second cut hay both in stalls and out in fields. Mare and gelding separate fields. Access to trails and a lovely sand outdoor ring with jumps. Boarders provided with first aid, administering medications and supplements deworming, and bringing for farrier visits if on our schedule with our farrier. Would prefer a gelding with an owner looking to join our lesson program. $700 a month. Located in Media PA. Pm or reach me at (302)463-4623

Sometimes you’ve got to get out of the ring and enjoy nature 🌿🌱 Especially with this nice spring-like weather we’ve been having here in Delaware! 🌞
Come ride with us at Coppergate Equestrian and soak up the bursts of nice weather 😎

In addition to teaching lessons, Vanessa trains horses of all levels as well! This is Moose, a senior thoroughbred that needs to work on his top line and maintaining muscle, while strengthening his hind end. Vanessa is working hard with him to get him back into shape for his owner! If you have a horse in need of any level of training or ground work, reach out to Vanessa at Coppergate Equestrian through email, Facebook, or phone! She’s happy to discuss what she can do to help you and your horse 🐎❤️
