Averi K. Rice

Averi founded Ark Show Stables with a simple belief: every horse deserves to be understood, and every rider deserves to understand.

She is committed to developing well-rounded riders who excel not only in the show ring but also in horse care, sportsmanship, and the lifelong pursuit of learning.

Averi believes every rider should leave their lesson not only knowing what they accomplished, but also understanding why they worked on it, how it fits into their horse's long-term development, and how each exercise contributes to becoming a more effective, knowledgeable equestrian.

Her goal is to equip riders with the confidence and understanding to think critically, solve problems independently, and continue learning long after they leave the arena.

Training with Averi has increased my confidence immensely. I feel like a more relaxed and educated rider thanks to her encouraging teaching style. She doesn’t simply tell me what to do, but she also teaches me the “why” behind everything that creates both strong equitation and a deep connection with our equine partners. She teaches me the most minute details about my aids, my position, and both my horse’s body and mine and how they impact each other. Because of that, I feel equipped to handle anything in the saddle. My horse is also more confident, and he now trusts me as much as he does out of the saddle. When he asks a question, I have the answer. He and I have always had a beautiful partnership, and Averi noticed it right away. She built on it. Averi sees us in a way that no one else has. She believes in him like I do, and that means the world to me. Both my horse and I are shining in her program, and I’m daily in awe of her teaching, her knowledge, her confidence in us, and the progress we’ve made in short time with her. I can’t wait to see what is to come!

I started to hate riding before i came to Averi’s. This was like my last chance to love the sport and man, she has changed my outlook on it. This trainer has made it worth it for me. I’m so proud to call her a mentor but better yet a friend. Love you, Averi. Thank you for making me love this sport and the animals again.
