My mission is to provide quality care and training in order to produce an individual ready to meet owner and trainer expectations. Well-done is better than well-said.
Donald W. Shuler Training Facility is located in Elloree, South Carolina," Home Of The Elloree Trials" which has a long tradition in the Thoroughbred industry.
I need to make sure a horse enjoys the walk from its stall to the track, and of course the presence of other horses.... (read more) As such, I have to make sure that all of my yearlings are comfortable around their peers. If they have a rival laying all over them in a race, they will still need to find a way to win. Getting a horse familiar with anything that can be thrown at it in a race is most important before a horse even gets close to running in a trial or a race! My attention to detail in regards to perfecting horse’s manners in the barriers is second to none. When they come back, they are forever better for the experience. The breaking in of the babies and getting them comfortable with conditions that they will face on a daily basis for the rest of their careers is one of the keys to any stable’s success. I make sure they have their head in the game and be paying attention, eat well, and are in good health, etc. I try to get a few solid breezes under their belts before they leave.
I provide a low stress atmosphere conducive to breaking yearlings, easing them into the transition from life on the farm to the more structured life of a horse in training. Race-track life can sour a horse and I provide a rejuvenating change while maintaining a routine for the race horse, and a safe environment for horses. Veterinarian and blacksmiths are scheduled on a regular basis for examinations and any necessary treatments.
Also Should the need arise for extended training as a horse is developing to get back on the track, arrangements can be made.
