A LOOK AROUND SEVEN HILLS
FACILITY AMENITIES
Bright, airy indoor arena with premium footing (watered and dragged daily), plus a full-sized outdoor arena and round pen for versatile training options.
We share our facility with the Kinetic Equine Medicine Soundness Center, providing easy on-site access to advanced diagnostics and consultation.
Daily turnout in all-weather gravel paddocks or grass pastures. We believe movement outside the stall is essential for mental health.
Wash racks and grooming bays equipped with heat lamps for comfort. Dedicated treatment area featuring a TheraPlate for rehabilitation support.
24/7 on-site management with stall cameras and night checks. Premium hay provided; owner-supplied grain and supplements are fed per your instructions.
Spacious 12’ x 12’ matted stalls with full-length grill fronts. The open fronts give horses good airflow and let them see what’s going on around them without sacrificing a sense of security.
VETERINARY COLLABORATION
When your horse comes to Seven Hills for rehabilitation, we work closely with your veterinarian and care team so the training, daily management, and medical plan all support the same recovery goals.
We also share our facility with the Kinetic Equine Medicine Soundness Center, providing on-site access to advanced diagnostics and consultation when needed.
Professional referrals“In all my years of practice, I have never met anyone more skilled at rehabilitating neck and back horses than Kyra Fraser.”
CLIENT EXPERIENCES
"My young mare had a series of unfortunate events: injury, illness, ulcers, plus behavior challenges that developed as a result of chronic pain. After trial and error on our own, we found ourselves under Kyra’s guidance, and I’m so thankful we did. Kyra is truly an advocate for the horse, taking the time to understand their physical, mental, and emotional needs. With her honest, straightforward assessments, we’ve made meaningful progress, and seeing my horse comfortable, engaged, and interested in learning again has been such a relief."
Cassie B. · Redmond, WA
"Every lesson with Kyra is valuable. She explains concepts clearly, adapts to different learning styles, and breaks down challenges in a way that creates real “light-bulb” moments. Just as importantly, she is fair, patient, and always puts the horses first—something you can see in the trust they have in her."
Amelia R. · Seattle, WA
"I only wish I met Kyra sooner in my equestrian journey. Since joining her program, I’ve become a more confident, effective rider and horsewoman. Her training promotes harmony and partnership in a way that creates engagement and fun, and her perspective—blending classical dressage, biomechanics, behavioral science, and horsemanship—is truly unmatched."
Rebekah T. · Woodinville, WA
"I brought my very big, very green gelding to Kyra to help both of us build good biomechanics and overall suppleness. I was losing confidence in both of us. Kyra worked with him full time for 8 months, and in that time, she brought out the absolute best in him. The thing that impressed me the most was that Kyra achieved this without being at all heavy-handed with him. She also helped him understand how best to use his body to carry a rider. When we left, I had much more confidence in both of us."
Amelia R. · Seattle, WA
"I brought my mare to Kyra at Seven Hills Training for ECVM rehab. It was unclear when we arrived if she would ever be able to carry a rider, and to what extent she could even live comfortably. Over the next 8 months, Kyra helped her build strength and confidence in her body. Kyra always met her exactly where she was on each day and offered her an activity that was supportive, encouraging, and just the right amount of challenging. This led to dramatic progress; by the time we left she was cleared again to start work under saddle."
