Pinestone Farm

Established in 2017 and now open to lesson, training and limited boarding in 2025, Pinestone Farm is a 34-acre facility in Rutledge, GA focused on being and staying small. Our goal is to give each horse in training maximal attention with a commitment to have no more than 3 training horses at a time for our one full time trainer in residence. We believe that horses need time and attention to be developed and this can only be done when each horse gets the attention they need to develop. Facilities include:

-6 stall barn

-20 acres of pasture (water to all pastures)

-Arena: Sand, Lights 100 x 60

-Indoor Wash rack (hot/cold water)

-Humidity controlled saddle room

-Round Pen for Training/Lunging

-Air Conditioned Lounge

-Trails on property

Equine Body Work

All horses in the training program with the consent of the owner will receive equine body massage as part of their training plan, if the owner consents.

At Prosper Horsemanship, we believe physical comfort and emotional balance are essential for a horse to learn, perform, and live well. That’s why we offer specialized equine bodywork sessions designed to relieve tension, restore mobility, and promote long-term soundness.

Amber is certified in both Rib Entrapment Syndrome Therapy (REST™) and Neuro Fascial Conditioning (NFC™), combining hands-on therapy with her horsemanship background for a complete, horse-centered approach.

🐎 What Bodywork Can Help With:

Muscle tightness & tension
Soreness or stiffness under saddle
Uneven movement or reluctance to bend
"Cold-backed" behavior
Compensation patterns after injury
Postural imbalances or rib cage restrictions
Anxiety, stress, and emotional blockage

💼 Techniques Used:

- - - REST™ (Rib Entrapment Syndrome Therapy)
      Identifies and releases restrictions in the rib cage that can cause pain, stiffness, and behavioral resistance.
    - NFC™ (Neuro Fascial Conditioning)
      Soft-tissue work that restores flow through the fascia and improves mobility, proprioception, and overall performance.
    - Myofascial Release & Joint Mobilization
      Hands-on techniques to soften and lengthen muscle and connective tissue, encouraging range of motion and freedom of movement.

These sessions are beneficial on their own or as a complement to training, rehabilitation, or maintenance in performance horses.

🐴 Recommended For:

Horses in full training or under saddle work
Rehab or post-injury recovery support
Performance horses in competition
Senior horses or pasture companions
Young horses starting body awareness

No matter the age or discipline, every horse can benefit from increased mobility, comfort, and calm

Tune-Ups/Restarts

For horses needing a restart, polish, or seasonal brush-up.

Sometimes even broke horses need a reset. Whether they’ve had time off, are prepping for a new rider, or just need fine-tuning, we offer short-term training packages that sharpen their skills and responsiveness.

Lesson and Rider Coaching

Because the horse isn't the only one learning.

We offer private riding lessons, groundwork sessions, and rider coaching to help you grow alongside your horse. Gain confidence, learn timing and feel, and improve your communication—whether you're just starting out or refining your horsemanship.

Whether your horse is untouched or lightly handled, we take the time to ensure they’re mentally and physically ready for the next step.
