STS Performance Horses

	The first step in any training program is communication between Stephen and the client. Each client has a specific goal either for themselves as a rider or for their horse as a show prospect. To compete on any kind of level, having a strategy in place to achieve success is an important part in reaching that goal. Through discussions with the client, Stephen is able to help define the goal, and develop a program specifically for the client and the horse. Two Year Old and Futurity Program “The training program for two year olds and futurity prospects are among the best. I place a huge emphasis on creating a solid foundation in the horses that will remain with them their entire lives.” Stephen Siadik, trainer The solid base work involved in the two year old and futurity program provides horse with the best possible chance to perform at its peak while remaining fit, content and physically primed to handle the work that will be expected as the horse progresses in maturity.
Non-Pro Program “I work with riders and their horses on a one-on-one basis at the STS facility and at shows. When it’s show time, I’m always ringside when it’s their turn to impress the judges. I’m proud of what I do to help them and of what we accomplish together. As important as it is to be competitive, enjoying the ride is just as important.” Stephen Siadik, trainer The Non-Pro program at STS Performance Horses is specifically designed to create confidence and experience in the show ring for both horse and rider. From Green Reiners to the most seasoned Non-Pro riders, this program offers everyone the opportunity to learn something new. Youth and non-pro competitors develop showmanship skills and confidence. This program is also designed for experienced non-pro riders seeking assistance in attaining that “final polish” for the show ring.
Breeding Program STS Performance Horses offers a superior breeding program for your mare.

Testimonials
"Two years ago, my horse had gotten to the point where he was unable to cope with his current training program. Faced with a decision of selling him, I wanted to give him one more chance with a new trainer. I needed to find someone who could adapt their program to deal with my horse’s problems. As I am a rookie myself, I also needed a person who could work with a green non-pro along with a green horse, realizing this was a difficult match. I chose Steve Siadik of STS Performance Horses to take on this challenge. Stephen has done a wonderful job with both me and my horse. As time goes on, my horse is learning to deal with his training frustrations and has learned to show with very little stress. Of most importance to me is Stephen’s flexibility in adapting his training to meet the needs of the horse and rider and the impeccable care of his horses. Steve has also done an excellent job in showing my horse even to the point of winning an open class on him. I am extremely pleased with my training lessons and Stephen’s methods in working with non-pros. He has a lot of patience, perseverance, and gives praise when praise is due. The atmosphere both at the barn and the shows is one of warmth, friendliness, and fun among everyone involved. I have been with Stephen for two years and plan to be with him for more to come with plans for him to train my young futurity horse. " Noreen Loar Alexandria, Ohio "Three years ago my husband and I decided to get involved in the reining horse industry. The was a new adventure for us so we set out to find a professional to guide us. We chose Stephen because we liked the way he handled his horses. We have never regretted our decision! We gained a great trainer, a terrific and patient instructor and most important a True Friend! " Wayne and Teresa Young Greenville, PA "Thank you so much for everything you have done for Max and ME! I've regained my self confidence. If you asked me last year if I'd be showing him in NRHA competition (and not looking like a complete idiot), I'd say you were crazy. THANK YOU!! I know we still have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are now having fun. I can honestly say I really enjoy my horse. That wasn't the case last summer, I had to make myself ride him. " Lisa Taylor Valley Grove, WV "It has been a dream of mine to watch my horse compete in reining at the Quarter Horse Congress in Columbus, Ohio. But several years ago and several trainers later, my horse was getting older and I began to believe that I would not accomplish my goal. Then I discovered STS Performance Horses. The individualized training and fitness program Stephen develops for each horse makes all the difference. My horse is happier, healthier, and is now able to perform at a level that has allowed him the ability not only to compete, but also finish in the Top Ten and Congress and NRHA Futurity show in Oklahoma this year!! Stephen's patience, encouragement, and ability to teach beginners has also enabled me to show at the Green Reiner level, a bonus I never expected! " Nikki Payne Newark, Ohio
