Sterling Farms
North San Diego County

Quiet, Classical, Quality
Nestled in the beautiful backdrop of Little Gopher Canyon Road in Vista (N. San Diego County), Sterling Farms is a gem. Owned and operated by Jane Frank, the Sterling Farms Dressage facility is her dream in real life. “To promote Dressage, the health of the horses and the camaraderie of a private training barn where everyone gets along” – those are the ideas which led Jane to develop the farm over ten years ago.
Sterling Farms is home to two wonderful Trainers – Bridget Braden and Kimberly Monk. Each Trainer brings a unique perspective to the riders at Sterling Farms. Bridget’s philosophy incorporates FEI classical training with a rider’s fitness directly to their position in the saddle. Through her BioRider Fitness program, Bridget and her clients start with a short, tailored workout right there at the barn, to help riders gain strength and muscle awareness and tone needed for correct Dressage riding.

Oh My Aching Back!!
Riders and horse owners often experience back pain, and many seek the assistance of a human chiropractor for treatment. Chiropractic care can also be an effective prescription for improving equine performance problems, as horses can experience the “aching back” syndrome as well. Dr. Clint McKnight of Pacific View Equine says that horses with the following symptoms may be good candidates for chiropractic therapy: short-striding, cross-cantering, loss of collection, refusal to pick up leads, lack of suppleness, difficulty with lead changes, and single sided problems with spinning or bending. These are only a few examples of dysfunction in equine performance which can signal spinal problems which could be addressed through quality chiropractic treatment.
For all equine patients, Dr. McKnight conducts a complete examination with case history, prior veterinary work, posture and gait analysis, palpation of the spine and muscles, and checking temperature changes over the spine. After the exam, Dr. McKnight will recommend the exact area of adjustment, not just giving the horse a whole body adjustment.

Q: I relied on my trainer to help me sell my mare. I told her I would like to get $45,000.00 for her and she agreed that in her opinion that was a fair price. She ultimately was able to sell the mare to one of her other clients and I received $40,000.00 for the sale of the horse. I was happy with the transaction until the new owner contacted me on Facebook and I found out she purchased the horse for $60,000.00. Apparently, my trainer pocketed a $20,000.00 commission. I thought my trainer was doing me a favor by helping me sell my horse. I had no idea the horse sold for that amount and I never would have paid her a $20,000.00 commission.
What can I do now?
