Hi, I’m Caroline, the owner, trainer, and breeder behind Cox Sporthorses LLC.

Horses have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, but this business grew from something much bigger than a lifelong passion. Cox Sporthorses is where all the things I care about most intersect: good horsemanship, thoughtful breeding, honest training, and the joy of watching horses become exactly who they were meant to be.

My approach is simple:
every horse deserves patient, correct training that builds confidence and clarity.
My program is shaped by that belief, producing horses who are relaxed, educated, and prepared for long, successful careers, whether they’re destined for top sport or a dedicated amateur partner.

Whether I’m teaching a foal to lead, putting the first ride on a young horse, or polishing a prospect for the show ring, that philosophy guides everything I do. I love developing horses, especially the quirky ones, the sensitive ones, and the brilliant ones who need just a little extra time. Working with young horses is both humbling and endlessly rewarding, and I feel incredibly lucky that it has become my everyday work.

Over the years, I’ve worked with an incredibly wide range of horses: warmbloods, Iberians, Morgans, Thoroughbreds, Arabians and Arab-crosses, draft horses, Quarter Horses, and many rescues. My program has welcomed jumpers needing rehabilitation after being over-faced, hunters rebuilding hind-end strength, gaited horses, pleasure and trail horses, event horses, competitive dressage horses, and even horses previously considered candidates for behavioral euthanasia. Each one has shaped the trainer I am today by teaching me to be adaptable, empathetic, and committed to meeting every horse where they are.

I’ve developed horses from their very first rides to the FEI pipeline, raised foals I later started under saddle, and had the privilege of watching clients achieve their own breakthrough moments. This business has grown quickly, but my priorities remain the same: kindness, clarity, and doing right by every horse who comes through my program.

When I’m not in the barn, you can usually find me planning breeding seasons, studying pedigrees, or dreaming up the next generation of sporthorses I want to produce. The long-term vision matters to me, not just making good horses but making better horses, bred for soundness, rideability, and longevity, and creating the kinds of riders who can bring out the best in them.

I’m so grateful for everyone who follows along, supports this program, or trusts me with their horses. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly.

Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
