Skyrock Farm​​​​


In the quiet light of the stable, you hear a muffled snort, a stamp of a hoof, a friendly nicker.
        Gentle eyes inquire “How are you old friend?” and suddenly, all your troubles fade away.

 Founded in 1982, Skyrock gets its name from a 
Native American legend that tells of a land where people and animals could speak the same language.  Very befitting to our belief that inorder to become agreat horseman you must
learn to speak horse.  

SRF is an all weather indoor/outdoor full service Hunter Jumper
training barn located 30 min from downtown Mpls. 
Skyrock offers lessons to riders of all ages from
beginner to Grand Prix level. 

Our goal is to culminate compassionate, confident riders
with effective aids and relaxed horses. 
If riding is your passion, Skyrock is your place!

This is our home, please drive slow  - thank you!
Founder Bill Nunn
5/30/1949 - 1/22/2024

Bill spent his career training and showing hunters and jumpers.

Bill started out competing and training in Eventing and Dressage under Max von Bluecher (owner of Fortuna Farm). In 1971, Bill went on to start his own farm, Lothlorien, in Maple Lake. It was at Lothlorian that Bill apprenticed under Mykola Pawlenko and Marianne Ludwig.  The Olympic selection committee chose Bill to train with the U.S. Olympic team under Bertalan de Nemethy. Bill also had the opportunity to ride and train in Europe. Bill had a keen eye for selecting young horses. Over the years, Bill bred and raised many successful top level horses and riders. Bill developed a system for training that is unparalleled and carried on through his family. Many of his students have gone on to become top level riders. If you are serious about your training, Skyrock's program can take you where you want to go.​

Stacy was introduced to horses by her Aunt Randy when she was 3 years old and has been passionately hooked ever since!
Stacy started Burns Lake Stables in 2003 where she taught lessons, trained and rehabilitated horses and competed in Eventing (dressage, cross country and show jumping).   During that time Stacy trained with several top level riders including Olympic rider Becky Holder-Douglas.    Stacy started training with Bill in 2009 and has been teaching at Skyrock ever since.  Stacy has shown hunters and Jumpers up to Grand Prix level.   Stacy's passion is starting young horses and teaching horsemanship to riders of all levels.  Stacy believes that consistency,  relaxation and cultivating confidence are paramount to the learning and training process.
