Mission Statement

The mission of Isuba Valley Equestrian Center is the promotion of traditional horsemanship and centered riding. Regardless of discipline, all clients and riders are encouraged to study all aspects of riding, training, equipment, and horse care. In other words, the goal is to develop riders into true horsemen and horses into true athletes.

Training methods are based upon proven classical principles practiced in Europe and the United States. Horses are schooled with patience, consideration, and respect. Riders are enthusiastically instructed until they understand “why” correct training methods are used, not just “how” to perform a movement. Tolerance and safety are always of foremost importance.

Owners/Trainer    Cortney Rogers

Cortney was trained locally by Grand Prix rider Gabe Griffin. Gabe is the only trainer in Northwest Arkansas to have participated at that level of competition. 

Cortney began her Hunter/Jumper training as an adolescent at Kingswood Riding Stables near affluent Exeter, New Hampshire. Upon returning to Arkansas, she continued her training with top Hunt Seat Judge Misty Morgan. Cortney has been involved with horses all her life and is constantly adding to her abundant knowledge of horsemanship and riding.
