Welcome to Capstone Farm!
My name is Sarah Aron Kramer, Capstone’s Horse Trainer and Horseback Riding Instructor and 18 time National Champion. I'd like to take a moment to share Capstone Farm's objectives for our horseback riding program based in Issaquah, Washington.
On the surface, Capstone Farm is a training facility for horses and their riders. We teach horsemanship skills – from care and grooming,to horse-back riding and performance in the show arena and train top quality show horses to have the movement and behavior needed to compete at the highest levels. Our equestrian team clients have won over 180 National and World Titles. In addition to our show team, we also offer summer camps and riding lessons.
But Capstone Farm is much more! I have found that the characteristics that make a champion rider are the same characteristics that foster success in life. Because people, especially children, are so receptive to learning when they are around horses, the barn provides a forum to teach life skills that are carried outside of the barn – goal setting, focus, work ethic, responsibility, awareness of the world and one’s ability to affect it. In addition, one gains self confidence and self respect. Capstone Farm is an environment where you learn not only about horses and riding, but also problem solving skills that help an individual handle a wide variety of life situations.
2021 National Show Team
It is most rewarding to me to watch individuals progress, gain self confidence and achieve personal goals. I hold the bar high and encourage everyone to rise up to meet it. And they do! Capstone Farm's equestrian team wins regularly at National and Youth World competitions.
I invite you to call me at (425) 295-7961 to arrange a personal tour of Capstone's private horseback riding and horse training facility based in Issaquah, Washington.

Testimonials
 The Kitch FamilySarah has continued to challenge me in my eight years of riding with her as every lesson we focus on a different skill or idea to master. She has found the perfect balance of when to push me, and when to hold back to let me figure out a solution on my own. The barn has become such a positive space and I don't know where I would be without Sarah and all my wonderful teammates. |  The Slack FamilySarah has taught Madeline the ability to build a relationship with a horse that requires learning about one another and taking care of each other. She has learned confidence to do her best and enjoy competing without worrying too much about placement. |  The Frimodt FamilyMy child has learned that she and the horse are a team. In order for the team to grow and learn, the horse and rider must understand one another and communicate effectively. An incredible bond has formed between our horse and my child in developing an understanding of one another. She has also learned the importance of goal setting. It takes much effort, discipline, and dedication to be successful in the show arena. She has gained an incredible amount of confidence through showing. |
