Welcome to Setting Sun Stables LLC, one of the most hard working and honest horse training centers around. You can always depend on getting value out of your training dollars in quality and results.

At Setting Sun Stables LLC our goals are to create a winning and competitive atmosphere for both horse and rider, by maintaining the best physical health and well being of each horse.

Our professional, full service facility extends to both Purebred Arabian and Half Arabian horses. We are conveniently located in North Central Indiana with training year round.

We strongly believe in a better future for our Arabians and Half Arabians, and are currently working hard to provide for this future. Through a new but strong breeding and sales program we are setting a new standard for quality, good minded and sound horses. Our goal is to be the "go to" facility for the best and most competitive Arabians and Half Arabians.

At the heart of our program is our trainer, Joe Reser. Joe, as his clients will confirm, is a passionate, goal driven trainer. A great example of this was his personal goal to obtain a National win before he was 30. He accomplished this one year early by unanimously winning National Champion Half Arabian Western Pleasure Junior horse in 2002. Then his rider, Susan Lake, won her first National Championship in the Amateur Owner division, with the same horse, Ima Rock Star. Since that time he has added two more National titles and numerous Top Tens, plus multiple Regional and Local Championships with his horses and his riders.

Joe has been riding since at least the age of four and showing since he was six. Prior to becoming a professional trainer in 1994, he apprenticed and schooled with numerous professional trainers. He continues to listen and learn from his piers and even takes the time to help out new trainers along the way. Joe was recognized by his piers and the Arabian Horse World magazine as one of the Top Three Western Trainers in the country.

Joe's biggest rewards, "are when his amateurs win and do well." In fact that is another of his personal goals, "that all of my amateur riders go National Top 10 or better each year". Due to his passion and drive of these goals he has even revitalized several of his clients to want to stay with the business of showing and breeding Arabians and Half Arabians. They feel he has helped them see a great future through his accomplishments, talent and hard work ethics. Speaking again of the future let us introduce you to Joe and the evidence of his "good eye" for good horses.

Farm Philosophy: Commitment to our horses, clients and breeding. We want to see a strong future for our Arabians and Half Arabians. We feel that through a quality breeding program this can be achieved. We are working now, by providing a foundation of good minded, trainable and sound horses that can be shown and enjoyed for all riders at any level of experience. Our care and commitment to our horses is paramount. This is indicated through our high quality feed and nutrition program, which we analyze and monitor constantly. We work hard to keep the future of our horses strong.
