Welcome to Sunrise Stud Dressage Farm
Sunrise Stud, Inc is a private dressage facility, owned and operated by Katarina Antens-Miller, along with her husband Robert Miller. Nestled on 10 acres in the middle of horse friendly Colts Neck, NJ, the farm offers both a regulation outdoor sand ring, and an indoor ring. There are large pastures for turn-out, box stalls, as well as the ability to quietly hack out in the surrounding fields.
The farm was named for L.A. Baltic Sunrise, a once-in-a-lifetime horse who took Katarina all the way to Grand Prix. Sadly, he had to be put to rest in the late summer of 2009, however, his legacy lives on through his offspring, and through the farm.
Sunrise Stud offers private and individualized instruction with Katarina, a Grand Prix gold, silver and bronze medalist. Through the systematic training of time honored classical dressage principles, Katarina imparts her knowledge, and experience, making each session enjoyable and memorable for her students. From novice to FEI, all levels of horse and rider are welcome.
