Fulshear Equestrian Center Announces Danny Warrington as Head Trainer

Fulshear Equestrian Center brings Advanced-level Eventer and Trainer to their facilities in Southeast Texas

Fair Hill, MD - October 10th, 2011-Advanced-level eventer and trainer Danny Warrington announces a unique opportunity to train and board in Southeast Texas at Fulshear Equestrian Center.

Fulshear Equestrian Center is located at Canaan Ranch on a gorgeous 80-acre farm in rural Fulshear, Texas. It is a 31- stall facility with a large indoor arena and heated viewing room, large outdoor sand arena, large outdoor grass arena, indoor round pen, equicizer machine, paddocks with run-in sheds, irrigation, cross-country course, miles of bridle paths, and ride-out options.

"The facility is absolutely top-notch. The Equestrian Center and the amenities it offers is something you dream about. Fortunately, it has become a reality. It offers everything you can think of in order to make training horses a luxury," Warrington said.

The Fulshear Equestrian Center is an ideal location to escape from the harsh winters in the Mid- Atlantic. It enables the training of the horse to continue without the weather-induced barriers the Mid-Atlantic winters bring. The average temperature of the winters in Fulshear,TX is mid 50's to 60's.

"When building the Equestrian Center, we put a strong focus on the quality of the facility rather than the quantity in order to create a top-of-the line training center, rather than simply a boarding barn. The facilities and amenities that the center offers are extremely conducive to training horses year-round," says Fulshear Equestrian Center owner, Kelly Stanka.

The Equestrian Center is located in close proximity to Houston and San Antonio where schooling jumper shows, combined tests, and dressage shows are readily available.

Danny Warrington will be at Fulshear Equestrian Center full-time from November 1st through April 15th. He will be available for teaching, training, and clinics throughout his extended stay. He will head back to the East Coast in April to compete and train from his home location in Fair Hill, Maryland. However, Warrington will return to Texas once a month from May to November to continue teaching and training with his clients on the Gulf Coast.

"One of the biggest benefits of wintering at the Fulshear Equestrian Center in Texas rather than wintering in the Southeast is you are much more able to focus on the complete training of the horse rather than having to be caught up in the high pressure environment of the Southeast. The focus is entirely on the horses and the students and less on what the other advanced-level trainers are doing next door," says Warrington.

2011-2012 Winter Plans

We are coming back to Texas for the winter!! This winter we are very excited to announce that we will be training out of a new facility, Fulshear Equestrian Center, which is literally right down the road from the farm we were at last year. A huge thank you goes to Josh and Kelly Stanka for making this possible!

We are planning on arriving in TX on November 1st and staying through the Pine Hill event mid April 2012 and then returning to Maryland again for the rest of the season. We will leave our barn in MD the last weekend in October to head down to the Chattahoochee Hills event October 28-30. We will lay over there to compete and then head to TX for the second half of the trip.

More information and pictures about Fulshear Equestrian Center to come soon!

2010-2011 Winter Plans

We are going to Texas for the winter!!!! Our plan is to depart after Thanksgiving and return home some time in April. Will Smith, Classico Z, Saratoga, Guiness St. James and a sale project named Monkey, will all be making the journey southwest. Three other horses are tentatively scheduled to join us and are working out trip details.

It is great having friends and clients located throughout the country; this comes in handy when long trips are being planned. 12 hours to GA to stay at Jacel Galloway’s farm and teach a couple lessons while in GA. Then the last 12 hours to Kelly and Josh Stanka’s farm in Fulshear, TX.

Our training program will be based in Fulshear, while teaching lessons on the farm, offering horse sales as well as traveling off the farm for clinics. Danny will also be coming home to MD teach once a month throughout the winter, keep checking the website for the list of weekends.

We are very excited about our new winter plan!!

End of the Season Wrap Up~ 2010

Finishing the season at Waredaca at the end of October marked the close to a successful 2010 competition year.

We thank you very much and would not have this caliber of business if it wasnt for all of you! Will Smith will be returning to competition in the summer of 2011 and Classico Z is prepping for his prelim year. Good luck to all of us in 2011!!
