Whimsy Brook Farm Ltd.

The different riding and training place Whimsy Brook Farm has professionally bred, trained, shown horses, and instructed riders of all ages for over 40 years.

We believe that, as Winston Churchill said, "there is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a (hu)man." We are both a family owned and operated working farm, as well as an educational institution. We teach and model the science of equine husbandry, we farm in an environmentally friendly way, and our riding lessons are based on the classical seat, be it dressage, hunt-seat, or western pleasure.

Introductions. 🐴☂️Texas, one of our recently adopted rescues, had his first encounter with an umbrella. During groundwork we often incorporate items the horses may not interact with in their daily lives. They might have an unusual shape, make a curious sound or move in a way they’re not familiar with. As prey animals, horses are always on the look out; 👀 but by letting them build confidence gradually, over time, in a playful and low pressure setting, they’ll be better prepared for whatever pops up - on the trail, in the show ring or just walking back to the paddock! 💫 @risingstarrhorserescue

Scenes from a training ride with Ready Red, our recently adopted 4 year old OTTB from @risingstarrhorserescue

Last week in Pony Club… We focused on helping our horses (and ponies!) remain confident and safe in situations that include objects or sounds they’ve never experienced before. We used tools such as plastic bags, tarps, flags, hula hoops, plywood boards, a mailbox (filled with treats of course) and brightly colored flower boxes. The process starts on the ground in-hand, giving the horse time and space to process these new sensations. Once they are confident on the ground, we can build on these new skills with mounted work! @unitedstatesponyclubs @trt.method @risingstarrhorserescue

A little over a year ago we adopted Friday from @risingstarrhorserescue He’s a sweet, spunky pony that immediately won our hearts. With a combination of gentle confidence building exercises, bodywork, a customized diet and patient schooling, he’s been making wonderful progress in our training program. 💫 Happy (slightly belated) anniversary Friday!🎉 We’re so proud of you!!
