The secrets of Liberty work: learning, exercises, and building a partnership with the horse.
Avalon stables
Located on a charming estate in the heart of Quebec’s Eastern Townships, Avalon stables are conveniently situated an hour out of Montreal, 3 miles (5km) from Sutton village and only 5 minutes from the American border. This unique equestrian facility specializes in multiple disciplines, such as Dressage, Showjumping, Liberty, Vaulting, and Roman Riding. Beginner and advanced riders have access to an insulated indoor riding arena, an extra-large outdoor arena (includes a dressage ring and a jump course during the summer season), a round lunge ring, several trails, and numerous grass paddocks. Appraisal and assessment services are available in addition to our breeding program, boarding services, starting (breaking) and training program, internships, and more!
The team here at Avalon begins with its two owners and head trainers, Sarah and Dorian, supported by a riding instructor, veterinary technician, and several grooms. Rare and unique in Quebec, this international team brings knowledge and influences from across the world to offer you an adapted program to fit both horse and rider’s needs.
