Meet Our Trainers

Larry Russo

As owner and head trainer at New Horizon Stables, Larry has created a riding program that focuses on strengthening the bond between the horse and the rider.  His vast experience both in the saddle and as an instructor has proved successful for his riders at a variety of levels, from beginners to the highly experienced.  His approach to training has always been based on the establishment of a trusting relationship between horse and rider. Whether resolving problematic behaviors in seasoned horses or  training of young horses, Larry stresses the importance of the rider’s role as a guide for the horse in order to achieve success. 

Devon Russo

As part of her already successful career with many wins in the Jumper, Equitation and Hunter rings, Devon is following in her father’s footsteps as an excellent trainer.  As the assistant trainer at New Horizon Stables, she plays a vital role in the development of our riders as well as in the process of training the horses.  Her accomplishments in and out of the ring have made her a valuable asset to the New Horizons community.

Lucy Turner

As an integral part of the show team, Lucy has started out her professional career with success.  Her focus on creating a solid foundation on the flat mirrors the Russo’s style of teaching and provides the students with the skills that they need to develop as knowledgeable and educated riders.
