“Avery started riding at 6 years with WHF and she was in love from the first lesson and she is now almost 15 and Karen has guided her along the way. She stills loved riding and her relationships with her partners are everything!”

“I have known and ridden with the Banister family for 30 years. In that time I have had two world champion horses and a lifetime of of hopes and dreams that they have made a reality. WHF is more than a barn or a training facility. They are family. They are the best people you will ever meet, hands down and they give their heart and soul into making your dreams a reality. There is no better company I would keep and I am so grateful for everything they have done for me and my horses. ”

“White Harvest Farms is hands down the best training facility I’ve ever been to. The entire Banister family is amazing and dedicated to the development of not only the horse but also the rider. Their training approach is gentle and effective and helps unite horse and rider. The focus on not only happy but healthy horses is refreshing. My horse has been there since he was a yearling and I would never have him anywhere else!”

“Karen and Marc have been such great teachers. I’ve become a better rider daily with their instruction. They foster such a feeling of teamwork between me and my horse. I look forward to my time at the barn! ”

“Karen Banister is a world-class horsewoman! Her program’s unique focus on horsemanship and rider goals creates a recipe for success. She has a barn full of loyal clients and happy horses.”

“I didn’t come to White Harvest Farms with the intent to take lessons or to dive further into the world of horses, however the support and instruction I have received has been nothing short of life changing. I now find myself a far more skilled horse rider and owner thanks to the meticulous and detailed instruction of the greatest trainers I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with. ”

“I began riding horses at age 44. As a busy IT executive, White Harvest Farms is my refuge, where all that matters is the horse. Karen, Marc, Beth and Kate have spent countless hours patiently guiding my experiences and offering encouragement to try new activities with my equine partner. I’ve grown my relationship with horses through riding lessons, trail rides and horse shows and I look forward to doing this for decades to come!”
