Stacie Berends Bode
Stacie has been riding horses since the age of two years old. Stacie’s first national win was at the age of 10, when she was named the reserve national champion walk-trot English pleasure rider in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. From that win, Stacie has gone on to be named national champion western pleasure rider with CR Diamond Sahara three times. She has also been named to numerous reserve national championships and national top ten wins in: saddle seat equitation, country pleasure, western side saddle, show hack, and halter.
Stacie felt a call to work with kids and horses. She now owns and operates her own equine riding lesson program out of Equi-Ventures Farm. Stacie also coaches a high school equestrian team, and is one of the leaders of a local 4H club. Please contact Stacie at the farm or by email at stacie@equiventuresfarm.com. She gives lessons on school horses, or you can bring your own mount

Lesson Policy : (Effective January 1, 2008)
Due to Stacie's schedule of over 15 lessons per week, all lessons need to be scheduled and paid for one month in advance. Each rider will have scheduled lesson appointments per month, if you need to cancel a lesson please cancel at least 8 hours in advance. A re-scheduled lesson will be moved into one of the open lesson slots (if available) within 2 weeks of your cancellation. If Stacie cancels your lesson,we will try to find a mutually acceptable time to re-schedule your lesson, or credit that lesson payment for the following month. Weather cancellations will automatically be credited to your account for the following month. Lessons that are not cancelled 8 hours in advance will not be re-scheduled or refunded. To schedule or cancel lessons please call Donna at (269) 795-4430 or (231) 250-6841. Donna will contact Stacie about any lesson changes. If no one answers, please leave a message.
