About Our Trainers: Over 40 Years of Equestrian Excellence & Mustang Gentling

Equestrian Excellence Built on Patience, Safety, and Proven Skill

At Kay's Acres, our horsemanship is grounded in over 40 years of combined equestrian experience and a deep understanding of animal behavior. Our expert trainers have an exceptional ability to read and predict horse body language, ensuring the safest, most agreeable ride for guests of all ages and sizes.

Recognized by the Department of Interior

Beyond guiding daily woodland trail rides in Suffolk, VA, our founders are widely recognized for their championship work taming and training wild Mustangs. Working with untouched horses requires an extraordinary level of patience, calm leadership, and precise communication. Our trainers have earned multiple championship titles in wild Mustang gentling competitions and were officially featured by the Department of Interior for their accomplishments in humane Mustang gentling and training.

Why Our Experience Matters for Your Ride

This national recognition and proven equestrian skill mean that every horse on our farm is handled with elite care and expertise. When you ride at Kay's Acres, you are riding with trainers who can predict subtle shifts in horse behavior minutes before they happen—guaranteeing a safe, relaxing, and beginner-friendly Western adventure.
