I would like to give a shout out to Samantha VanSickle and the team at Starfire. After a very stressful breeding season thus far, their team has been extremely easy to deal with, and very professional when it comes to shipping semen to outside mares. Samantha and the team at Starfire have been nothing but pleasant and kind to do business with, and have added zero stress to this crazy breeding season. And for that, I want to give them a great big THANK YOU!!!! I highly recommend them to anyone considering using one of the stallions that they stand at their facility!

Our Philosophy
At Starfire Training Center, we believe that every horse—like every person—is a unique opportunity and a gift. Our approach is centered on developing each horse into the best version of itself, fostering a foundation that will last a lifetime. Passion drives our work, and when something is at the heart of your world, it reflects in the quality of what you do. Both CJ and Samantha VanSickle are lifelong equestrians who have dedicated their lives to enhancing the connection between horse and handler. They understand that each horse is an individual, requiring a customized training program to unlock its full potential in any arena.
