A little bit of Longshot…
​goes a long way!

We believe that good basics in horsemanship are the foundation for everything- regardless of whether you ride for pleasure or for competition. We are a laid back barn that offers quality boarding and a fun lesson program. We attend local Hunter/Jumper shows, trail rides, pace events, and starter trials. We strive to teach horsemanship, care, and equine management alongside riding skills. Riders are encouraged to learn at the pace best suited to their individual needs.

Heidi Douts

is the Owner and Head Instructor at Longshot Stables. She began her journey with horses as a tiny 5 year old on a miniature horse. Heidi has a broad knowledge of horse care, training techniques, and various disciplines. She has developed an eye for detail in both the horse and rider and she strives to help every student meet their personal goals. Heidi enjoys working with rescues/projects and the details of horse management. She regularly seeks to increase her knowledge and continue her own education. In the past, Heidi was competing in endurance rides, where the horse’s health management is paramount and won several Grand Champion awards. More recently she brought along a BLM mustang through 3rd Level in Dressage. Her goal is always finding the path that a horse will be best at whether it’s in dressage, jumping, for children, etc.
