Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of solitaire. It is a grand passion.

About Us
Training and More
At Melmsgard Performance Horses & Training, LLC we offer several different types of training and lessons. We take in horses for training to get started or tuned up, give haul in lessons, as well as give both adult and kids lessons. We will also be offering clinics and camps throughout the year.
Our Facility
Melmsgard is located on a 20 acre farm in Olmstead, KY. We are 20 minutes away from Clarksville, TN, Springfield, TN, and Russellville, KY. Our facility consist of an 18 stall barn, a 60x120 indoor arena, a 150x250 outdoor arena, along with five large pastures all with run in sheds and automatic waters.
Meet the Trainers
Matthew and Elin Pitts are the owners and trainers at Melmsgard Performance Horses & Training, LLC. We both grew up around horses and wanted to pursue our horse training career after Matthew retired from the U.S. Army. Taking our education seriously we both became Master Certified Trainers through Ken McNabb as well as Accredited and Certified Trainers through Josh Lyons with Lyons Legacy.
Fall break at the farm
Fall break at the Farm
This year we are planning our fall break a little different than previous years. Instead of having a riding camp we will have a fun filled week hanging out at the farm. We will take care of the animals, play games, do crafts, and learn a ton about animals and the care of them.
