Have not posted anything in a long time about our cross country course at Country Haven since the person who used to put the info up for me left last fall. A lot of unexpected things have kept me busy since then, the most recent being storm damage...roof, fence, trees down, etc. but eventually I would like to hire someone to put up info weekly or every 10 days or so. I pick the photos and write the info, but need someone to get it out to different organizations or possibly show me how (which may be a real chore since I am not techy). If any interest give me a call @ 856-769-1916.
In addition, I put up an electric fence inside by slip board fence (not by choice, the person supposed to do the job, baled at the last minute) but I have some snags now (tree went down on it, etc) and I need to find some one who really understands all the details about electric fencing, that I could hire to help me check everything out. Any suggestions? If so, please call me @ 856-769-1916.
Also, want to apologize to anyone that has tried to chat with me. I am truly sorry, but with running a 23 acre horse farm and trying to keep up the cross country course, I just have no time, thus I only respond to business inquiries. Hope you will understand.

Wish you all a fun year with your horses!
Thanks,
Earlen Haven

Hi guys!

Most of our jumps at Country Haven have the ability to teach your horse progressively .
Let’s take the bank jump for instance. Some riders would say, oh I can’t do that, but everyone can jump this jump somewhere. For starters, the greenies can start by jumping one side at the very end of the telephone pole. Jump it on an angle so you are ONLY jumping either up or down. The height is only the width of the telephone pole. As your horse gets comfortable with that, try moving over a bit to a little higher spot but still JUST up or down. When you are comfortable with that try going back to the lower end and not on an angle and jump across the bank going up and down. Keep moving over to a higher spot with that same exercise. When your horse is comfortable with that try jumping down the front of the bank. Then when comfortable with that try jumping up the bank.

The snake fence already has your 4 options, so start low and progress to the higher ones or just pick what works for you.

Many of our jumps can be changed to various heights. Examine them carefully to see their options.

www.countryhavenfarms.com has more photos & descriptions.

XC fee $40
Dressage arena (sm/lrg) & stadium fences $20
Everything $55

Call Earlen Haven @ 856-769-1916 with questions or to schedule.
Short notice is usually ok.

Hope you come have a fun ride soon while the weather is still great!

Happy Labor Day! Come join us this weekend!

Looks like a beautiful sunny holiday weekend with a little higher temps at the beginning of the week but we usually have a nice breeze here.

We rebuilt the jump with the forsythia under it. It was about 3’9” before and was not being jumped often, so it is now 3’3” at the far left end, 2 ½’ in the middle and 3’ between those 2 spots.

We have photos and descriptions of most of the xc jumps on our website: www.countryhavenfarms.com. Many of our jump heights are adjustable for training purposes. Even our coffin is 2’ wide at one end and 3’ at the other end and can be jumped with or without rails. There are fields and woods and spots with slight inclines. Lots of variation for progressive schooling. In addition we have a dressage ring and stadium fences with super footing.

Unfortunately there are still 2 unofficial pages posted that we are unable to close (Country Haven and Country Haven Farm) but Earlen Haven (our personal one) will be staying up while we transition over to our new official Facebook business account: Country Haven Farms(plural) which will keep the name consistent with our website. We are also now on Instagram. Please friend our new account, so we can eventually change over solely to Country Haven Farms business account (& Instagram).

Cross country is still only $40 (add the ring for $15)! Come have a fun day! Bring a picnic if you like!

Best way to reach Earlen Haven with questions or to schedule is by phone @
856-769-1916. Short notice is ok also.

Hope to see you soon! Grab a friend and have a fun day!

Hi guys! I just wanted to address something. Someone here was nice enough to tell me that another person had been here and said they wouldn’t come back to our cross country course because they couldn’t get in/out of the driveway easily. We really don’t have any other options than our current set-up, but we have on numerous occasions had very long rigs here and the people have come back numerous times. We actually have included a photo of one of the long rigs that comes here regularly.

With a really long trailer, you need to stay to the outside of the turn (if turning left, stay to the right through the turn so the tail end of the trailer doesn’t cut the turn short). I’m sorry if someone did have a problem but if they do come back, I’d be glad to go out and help talk them through the turn.

We have 2 entrances to the farm. One blacktop drive going to the house and one dirt lane with blacktop only at the entrance that goes to the stable parking lot. We now have a huge sign by the dirt lane going to the stable.

Sorry for any inconvenience but I am happy to help anyone that may need it.

Something new and exciting, we now have an Instagram profile page, . Hope you will follow us on Instagram as well as Country Haven Farms on Facebook. And don’t forget that our website, www.countryhavenfarms.com has numerous photos of the cross country jumps.

Hope to see you here enjoying the course soon!
