Taurie Banks Earns Level III Certification from USEA
Congratulations to Taurie Banks on her Level III Certification from the United States Eventing Association. The USEA has developed one of the toughest Intstructor certifications in the world.
She was asked by the USEA to level up to Level II, or the 2 Star Level, and passed with great reviews from the the faculty members.
"I would let you teach my granddaughter'" was a quote from one examiner, which was an amazing compliment.
"I was flattered to be asked to test for a higher level," said Taurie, who originally passed her certification for Level II in 2010. "It is always great to know that you are a good teacher, but when the best in the world are excited by how you teach, it is absolutely incredible. I feel validated and inspired to learn and teach to the best of my abilities and to help be a part of protecting our sport by working closely with the USEA".
There are less than 200 instructors that have reached this level of certification throughout the world. It is a challenging program, that helps develop instructors and coaches.
Lady Zeyva Wins Thoroughbred Classic Hunter Derby
Lady Zeyva, an 18 yr old Thoroughbred mare, owned by Taurie Banks, and ridden by Nicole Seltzer, won the Thoroughbred Classic Hunter Derby.
Schooling Cross Country
Kings Corner riders got to enjoy a great schooling weekend at Copper Meadows in Ramona, California. This pre-Covid outing was the first time many of these riders were able to ride cross country and all the horses and riders were outstanding.
Since the Covid shut down, we have still been able to train and compete at the Horse Trials at Twin Rivers and Shepherd Ranch. We look forward to 2021.
Three United Pegasus Horses went to the 2018 Thoroughbred Classic at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank.
Wild Mischief a 5 yr old gelding made his horse show debut in the Cross Rail Hunters. With Hope Klusyk aboard, they racked up two wins, and a third place. He was crowned champion of the Open Cross Rail Division.
Song of the Witch, and 8 yr old mare, showed over Fences for the first time in the Open 2'3" division. Although she was just out of the ribbons, her wonderful performance shows what a talented mare this is and what a bright future she has ahead of herself.
Queen Khaleesi, a 7 yr old mare, showed her experience and was in the top 3 placings in the Open 2'6" division with Kathy Eskritt. With such a solid weekend, this mare is showing what a star she already is. She is ready for her new career as a quality show horse!
Also showing this weekend, Lady Zeyva. This 13 yr old TB mare was shown in the low jumpers with Taylor Nicholson winning a First, a Second, and a Third. Lady Zeyva also showed Third Level Test 3 with Taurie Banks, placing First with a 70%.

Our Mission Statement
At Kings Corner Training Stables we strive to be unique from other training stables. We are not just here to teach riding. We want to teach Horsemanship.
Our goal is to develop riders who are well educated and confident in the care of their horse and who will be capable horse owners the rest of their lives. We require a more hands on technique which includes grooming and caring for the horse you ride, cleaning the tack and stalls, feeding, first aid and learning all that is required to care for a horse.
As a rider, it develops a closer relationship with the horse and a deeper respect for the responsibility and commitment that is required for caring for horses.
As a Parent, it helps teach good horsemanship habits, responsibility to the animal and helps determine the level of your child's commitment. Many times this can help assure you in pursuing ownership. It may also save you from needless expense if the dedication and interest is not there for the long term commitment of ownership.
Our riding instruction is based in Eventing or combined Training. This includes riding on the flat, Dressage, show jumping and riding in the open. We feel that it helps develop a well rounded rider who can handle many situations and terrain.
Our Show schedule is arranged to accommodate any financial level and can be adjusted to the needs of individual rider. We believe that shows are not the most important part of riding, but are a great way to challenge ourselves and to help evaluate our riding, They should be fun and challenging and should help to develop good sportsmanship and team work.
Our most important goal is to keep you, your child and your horse, safe and happy. We have an outstanding safety record and believe that confidence and success are built slowly and steadily.
Becoming a rider is not a destination, it is a journey. We look forward to taking this journey with you!
