Sally Martin is the owner and manager of the facilities. She has had a lifelong love of horses which turned into a career managing High Pointe. Her mission is to provide a high standard of care with attention to detail and a lifetime of experience. It is Sally’s belief that horses should live in as natural of an environment as possible. This belief shapes what is offered at High Pointe; large open paddocks and group turnout.

With over a decade of professional riding and training experience, Claire Martin has dedicated her life to understanding how to connect with horses and pass her methods on to those around her. With a background in Dressage, Natural Horsemanship, Western Riding, OTTB rehabilitation/retraining, and Hunters, she doesn’t believe there is one strict “way” to ride and train. Rather, she believes that every horse and rider pair are unique and takes into account their personal goals. Because of this unique training philosophy, she is not bound to any one training or riding style, but rather finds what works best for the horse and rider pair. Claire is the primary trainer for boarders on site, and offers lessons to the public. She offers lessons for beginners through advanced riders.

After ten years of equine and barn management experience at Pine Cove Camps, Julianne Shivers began teaching riding lessons at High Pointe Stables in the fall of 2023. Julianne is a certified Western riding instructor through the Certified Horsemanship Association, and she is also a certified elementary school teacher in the State of Texas. She is CPR/First Aid certified through the Red Cross. Having managed a program with one-hundred horses, fifty seasonal and full-time staff, and thousands of campers, Julianne prioritizes safety, horse and rider connection, building confidence, and growing new skills. She eagerly desires for her students to leave lessons equipped to get their own CHA certifications, own their own horses, and/or enjoy their time developing their equestrian skills. Julianne offers horsemanship classes and western riding lessons.
