Halcyon Farm offers each client a customized and intensive hunter and equitation training program designed to help them reach their individual goals. Halcyon is well-known for the exceptional level of care with barns, spacious pastures, amenities, and services designed with the horses' best interest in mind. With a maximum capacity of 21 horses we offer a private barn atmosphere and personalized c

are. The beautifully maintained barn includes 12'x12' windowed and well-bedded stalls, two grooming stalls, two tack rooms, a wash stall, and a laundry room. Each client also has a full sized tack locker equipped with saddle and bridle racks and shelving. Situated on fifty-six acres, we offer large, well-maintained pastures, a 72'x220' indoor arena with stone dust and rubber footing, two large outdoor rings, and ample cross country riding. Owner/Trainer Barbara Kohr's home is 200 feet from the stable so customers are assured of 24/7 coverage. Trainer Barbara Kohr has personally trained and shown hunters at the highest levels qualifying and competing at Devon, Pennsylvania National, Washington International, and National Horse Shows as well as top year end accomplishments over the past 30 years. Each rider and horse's program is tailored to meet their individual goals from qualifying for championships, competing at horse shows, or solely personal improvement. Admittedly, "point chasing" for year end awards is not a priority nor encouraged. Earning these awards are viewed as an added bonus to personal accomplishments throughout the entire season. Horses are family at Halcyon and their well-being comes before anything else. Halcyon Farm is a fun and relaxing environment for all ages and levels of equestrians.

Attention Halcyon Farm, Ltd. Exhibitors! Slightly long post but you'll want to note these changes to your spring/summer calendar.

I'll just cut to the chase...I try to make sure my dates never conflict with other area horse shows, but I changed dates in December due to a medical issue and didn't do my normal cross check. I'm cancelling this Sunday, March 3 due to the conflict with the SLS Winter Finale.

Another impact to our previously announced dates is USEF shows that were cancelled are now being held. Since we gave up our USEF rating on the Harrisburg Horse Show in August, the dates became available which resulted in a new USEF show occurring on the same date. We will have the Harrisburg Horse Show in September.

I believe I have triple checked that the following schedule does not conflict with Blue and Gray, Twin Brooks, Swan Lake Local, Heritage Acres, and Hollyhurst.

Found out some more interesting tidbits…

Firstly, to the trainers and exhibitors CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🎉🎈 I am so happy this event is back at “Harrisburg”!

Personally, this is quite an example of personal agendas/politics/ethics in the industry. It’s all water under the bridge, but on the exact dates I bid for 2018-19 for the Harrisburg Horse Show to host the Zone 2 Finals. After the Stirrup Cup program was nixed, I figured that would be a win win to fill out an application with USHJA to host this championship. Additionally, I also threw out working something out that it could still be the Committees show offering them the entire weekend. All that was needed were negotiations with regard to renting my footing if if the show wasn’t going to be hosted by the HBG Horse show. No formal response to any of it but the discussion on the call was that it wouldn’t work is “too early”. (Like anyone needs one more championship in October). Personally, it is salt in the wound that the winning bid was given to a former employee of my shows who submitted a bid on my former dates. My guess is “they” are probably renting my footing that I sold to big HBG as well. Neat! My best.

To the trainer/USHJA Zone 2 Committee member who purposely tossed an unqualified horse into the Stirrup Cup Finals simultaneously making a scene at the ingate ….everyone knows your what you did and your motives. They have for years. USHJA knows but chose to bury it.

There is no mileage protection for Channel 2 shows and the Increment Point System hugely favors the Channel I exhibitors. I pray to God that they will keep it to a maximum of 15 shows to qualify or we will be going back to a channel 2 horse show every day of the week like it wasn’t the early 2000’s. The horses don’t deserve this! Please reach out to me if you would like us to bring back USEF, channel 2 horse shows to Halcyon. We will certainly do it if there is demand.

The Harrisburg Horse Show wil be Sunday August 25 at Halcyon Farm, Ltd. It is USHJA Outreach, PHSA regional and CPJHSA.
It is a great day with lots of events. (All for $20/ class.)
