Our very own NSA Al Shaheen caught the eye of American Idol Colin Stough today and the Lancaster Fair and he was kind enough to visit with us! Lucky girls ❤️

Sterling Hill is excited to head back to the Lancaster fair this year after about a 5 year absence for us. We are looking forward to a fun filled weekend

Copied from another

A small stab in the heart is what you feel when you put up the day's riding list and you see riders sinking heavily in their shoulders when reading which horse they are assigned for the lesson. A small stab in the heart for that horse that for an hour will carry around a rider who has already decided that he does not like his horse. A small stab in the heart for the horse that did not choose the rider himself but still does his best, lesson after lesson.
Riding is a privilege and something you have chosen to do. If you chose to ride at a riding school, your instructor assumes that you actually want to learn how to ride. The instructor's highest wish is that you get good at it.
Often there is a plan and a thought as to why you are assigned to that exact horse. Before you mount up next time, ask yourself "what can this horse teach me today?" All horses have something to give, a feeling or a new tool in the box.
The art is actually in being able to get a lazy horse to move forward, to get an uncertain horse to gain confidence, a naughty horse to focus or a tense horse to be released. It takes work. If you think a horse is boring, it's more likely that you don't ride the horse as well as you think! It's not easy to be confronted with your own shortcomings, but it is in that very situation that you get the chance to truly grow as a rider.
The excuse that "it's not my kind of horse" is actually a really bad excuse. A good rider can ride any kind of horse. A good rider has trained many hours on different types of horses to become a good rider. A good rider can find and manage the gold nuggets in every horse.
If we absolutely want to ride, it is our duty to strive to do it as best as possible, even if it's only for fun. We owe it to every horse that carries us upon it's back.

So proud of the 3 riders we brought to the NEFHC show this weekend. No matter what color ribbon they got, they hugged their horse and smiled because they were having fun!

My "kids" are important to me. I want them to know I am always there for them, and that the barn is a safe place where they can be themselves.

What a beautiful day

The very handsome "Star Street"

April has a pretty open schedule. If you'd like to get in with her for lessons, give her a call (603)703-5969

We are moving! As of Wednesday May 8 we will be open at our new facility in Derry NH. We are under different management, thus the new name but April is still the instructor. Please reach out about lessons and boarding!

There is no better way to kick off our show season, surrounded by our friends and barn families, than hosting what was hopefully the first of many Youth Contests 🍀

Congratulations to all the kiddos; especially those of you who stepped out of your comfort zone and tried something new 🎉

Thank you to everyone who volunteered all their time and expertise to make today happen ❤️

Meet Simply Sara

She is a beautiful saddlebred mare looking for a new home. Due to no fault of her own, she has been put on the back burner for the last few seasons.

We occasionally throw a couple walk trot lessons on her, and she works well with a loose rein.

She has beautiful bloodlines including multiple broodmare hall of fame members

As you can see she cleans up nicely and can be ridden and driven.

Please reach out with any questions🎉

Roadrunner and his owner Kristina Stredney had their best show to date at the Summer Kickoff show.

07/09/2023

Home from the Summer Kickoff show. It was a hot weekend but we had a great time. Ivy Morgan and her new boy FMHF Kaboom CH made quite an impression, and I am very excited about the future for this new team.

05/30/2023

Work hard, be the best version of yourself and always be grateful for opportunities you are given

05/14/2023

We are so excited for Ashley and Ivy Morgan and the newest additions to their show string. We've welcomed Queen's Spice Girl, She's Unstoppable, and most recently FMHF Kaboom CH to Sterling Hill. Ivy and Queenie have already made a successful debut in walk and trot winning the qualifier and championship at the NHH&T Show last weekend.
