About Our Equine Operations
Trainer Stephanie Framer runs High Standards Stables on Ledge Road in Hinckley, having started in saddle seat at eight, competed nationally by eleven, and then shifted to hunter/jumper, rising to top IHSA finishes at Ohio University under Karen Heihle, where she also served as team president. She built a reputation rehabilitating difficult off-track Thoroughbreds before spending more than two years as head trainer of Hinckley Equestrian Center’s riding programme. Her current lesson programme serves riders aged seven and up across two heated indoor arenas, sized 200 by 100 feet and 100 by 60 feet, plus an outdoor arena for warmer months, with students trail riding on the property each summer. Lessons currently carry a waitlist, alongside summer camps and local show opportunities.
