A little bit about us!
Chapeski Dressage is a full care training and boarding facility located in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley, just south of Lolo, Montana. We are primarily a dressage facility, but general horsemanship (dressage basics and the correct foundation for a good seat being applicable to any discipline, english or western) and jumping/eventing are focuses, as well. Owners Bob Chapeski and his daughter Olivia Chapeski teach and train from the facility.
The barn features 12x12 box stalls with 24 hour pasture turn out in groups, as well as dry lot pens averaging 24x70ft that include run-in sheds. All stalls, pastures and pens have automatic heated waterers. The facility includes a fully enclosed and insulated barn with heated tack rooms and bathroom, individual feed compartments, hot/cold water indoor wash rack with vacuum, large outdoor arena with full dressage court and jumps, a 70'x140' indoor arena with premium blended footing that is fully insulated and connected to the barn with a full side of mirrors and sound system. We hold clinics regularly through out the year.

Rates through December 2024
•Two types of board are available: Horses who are long term boarders have the option of either a large dry lot pen or pasture turnout in groups of 4-6. Horses that are not in for training also have the perk of 3 lessons/training rides per month with Bob or Olivia included in the board price. Horses that are temporary, whether in for training or regular board, may only stay in dry lots so as not to constantly upset the herd status. Horses who come in for training qualify for a discounted board rate assuming that they are also paying training fees (minimum of 10 rides a month). Except for the situation of a horse in training being a long term boarder, all horses in training will be in dry lots. Horses who are long term and on pasture will come in briefly morning and evening each day into their own stalls for their grain and to be checked visually before going back out. Dry lot horses do not come into stalls, though they have bedded three-sided shed stalls. Both pasture horses and dry lot horses are fed twice daily, pens and stalls are cleaned twice daily, all pens and fields have large shelters with 3 sides, and all pens, stalls and fields have automatic heated waterers.
