Our Breaking-In Background

While we no longer offer horse breaking-in services, it remains a cornerstone of our experience. Over 35 years, we started well over 1,000 horses under saddle—working across breeds and disciplines, with a strong focus on producing soft, balanced, and willing sport horses. We've also helped many clients with re-breaks and challenging horses.

This extensive background now feeds directly into our current work—whether it’s schooling, refining rideability, or helping owners with problem horses. Years of calm, consistent handling, and tailored approaches have taught us how to bring out the best in each horse, making them more confident and enjoyable partners.

Feedback & Reviews​

"I have sent several mares to Karen to be served by Mighty Heights and have always been delighted with the care that they have received. She has always kept me informed of their progress and I have been confident that they have been treated with respect and understanding. The resulting offspring have also been exceptional and I will certainly be returning mares for the coming season."

"I bought Steve from Karen as my first hack a couple years ago. Steven is such a placid and kind natured horse. Karen has been helpful to me ever since I first saw him and still is to this day with maintaining my gorgeous boy. I feel very lucky to have him and from such a great place where he was able to mature and be ready to become my best mate!"

"I just wanted to write to say thank you and how privileged we feel to be the owners of a Mighty Heights horse.

The transition from ponies to hacks can sometimes be quite problematic. The amazing nature of the Mighty Heights progeny and the training you have put into them has made this transition for my daughter not only seamless but an absolute delight.

It has completely rebuilt her confidence and reignited her passion; something I am eternally grateful for.
