Training, lessons, breeding, and boarding

All four on one property, with a mirrored indoor arena, a galloping field, and ninety acres of trail next door.

Training

Thoroughbreds through Friesians, including very small equines. Riding and driving.

A horse that stays light and responsive

Astrid Fallon has ridden her whole life and has been driving since she was ten. She has competed in both Pleasure Driving and Driven Dressage, and has worked with all types of horses, from Thoroughbreds to Friesians, including very small equines.

Her training puts the emphasis on the horse being light and responsive to the rider. That is a slower way to work than forcing a frame, and it holds up better once the horse leaves the ring.

Lessons

Private and semi-private. Riding and driving. Beginners welcome.

Half hour and hour long private sessions

Lessons are private, with semi-private sometimes possible. We do not run group lessons, because a beginner in a group of six gets very little of the instructor and rather a lot of waiting.

Riding is generally English, unless you are interested in riding one of the gaited horses. Beginners are welcome for both riding and driving, and we teach older adults as long as they are physically able. Children should be at least seven.

Beautiful farm and equestrian center. Weekly lessons by Astrid Fallon have improved my riding skills 100%.

Boarding

Twenty three stalls across two barns, with eight paddocks and trail access. Two stalls open on 1 October 2026.

We treat boarded horses the way we treat our own

Boarding stalls are 12x12, matted, and well ventilated. Every paddock is fenced in flexible PVC rail, which gives when a horse hits it rather than splintering, and carries no nails to back out. Each one has a wide lane between it and the next, so horses are not turned out along a shared fence line.

Openings

Two boarding stalls come open on 1 October 2026. Once they are taken the barn is full again, so if you are looking for a spot this autumn it is worth calling early.

Beautiful farm with gorgeous lush paddocks all with sheds. Stables were neat and well kept. There is a large detached indoor with mirrors and sand footing. Owner is very nice and well experienced in handling horses even high strung tbs.
