Training
At DeVote, we believe every horse deserves training that’s as unique as they are. That’s why we design individualized programs around each horse’s specific goals and needs, ensuring they receive the precise guidance needed to develop strength, confidence, and brilliance in their work. More than just training, every horse in our care is given the attention, affection, and support they need to be able to thrive—reaching their fullest potential.
Mallory’s approach is truly distinctive within the industry. With an education from William Woods University, experience working alongside a variety of trainers, and a lifetime spent riding in different disciplines and breeds, she brings an exceptional range of skills to every horse she trains. This rich background allows her to connect with horses in a way that’s both intuitive and effective, approaching every horse as an individual. This provides the precise training they need to achieve their highest potential inside and out of the show arena.
we are accepting new clients. Contact us for information on our training program and for availability.
We've been with DeVote Performance Horses for about two years now, and we honestly couldn't be happier. The environment is welcoming and supportive, and it's clear that Mallory and her team truly put the horses and riders first in everything they do.
We really appreciate the level of professionalism, communication, and organization they bring—it makes a big difference. At the same time, they keep things fun and find creative ways to build a strong, connected barn community.
They work with riders of all levels and are good at meeting each person where they are in their equestrian journey. Our Saddlebred is also in training with Mallory, and she goes above and beyond to make sure she’s well cared for and progressing.
We trust Mallory completely—with both our rider and our horse—and we’re so thankful to be part of the DeVote family.
The Nall Family
Our Arab is in training at DeVote Performance Horses LLC and we are thrilled by her progress under their care. We brought the horse down from Michigan to specifically work with Mallory Giebink. The horse needed to be restarted under a detailed-oriented, flexible and patient hand so we chose DeVote! Mallory updates us over video calls or via video as needed. She carefully explains her thought-process, highlighting the horse’s progress and explains next steps. This has been an essential part of the training process given I am based out of state.
We highly recommend Mallory’s barn for lessons too. Our daughter attends UNCSA and takes both saddle seat lessons, on Mallory’s horses, and hunt seat lessons, on our horse. Although Mallory specializes in saddle seat, she has expertise in multiple disciplines. Our daughter attends shows and has enjoyed the experience so much; being part of the DeVote Show Team.
The barn culture is always positive and supportive and has been a highlight of our daughter’s time living in the Winston Salem area. We highly recommend Mallory Giebink at DeVote Performance Horses in Winston Salem!
