Kane Kountry Farm

Kane Kountry Farm is a boarding, training, and lesson facility in southern Maine, and is also the home of SeaCoast Pony Club.
(3)

Since 1982, Kane Kountry Farm has been the place where hundreds of riders were trained to ride and care for horses. We have taught them dressage, eventing, hunters, jumpers, English and western pleasure and trail classes. We have also taken many fox hunting. We started Sea Coast Pony Club for young people to become better Horsemen and Horsewomen and have trained them well enough to win awards at P

ony Club National Championships in Quiz, Dressage, Show Jumping, Tetrathalon, and Horse Management. In eventing, our horses and riders have consistently done well. Our stallion, Our Jeff's Ladd has pinned at every USEA event he has entered and does equally well at hunter shows. In 2011, he won the Nancy Cray Memorial Hunter Derby besting 25 others. He has even carried a rider to a ribbon at the Maine Medal Finals. We are blessed with wonderful horses some of which were bred and born here. Others we bought and trained to be safe reliable mounts for ladies and children. We would like to thank all of our clients past and present for their support and our horses who assist us in teaching them all so very much.

Yes

A ditch and wall cross country jump looks pretty daunting as you walk the course. It's easy to imagine your horse hesitating and landing IN the damn thing. There IS actually a way to get used to these using show jumps, and here’s one thing to try.

Get your horse used to jumping over a very small plastic sheet, maybe as small as a foot wide, rolled out in front of a tiny vertical show jump. The sheet represents the open ditch.

Once the horse is saying “no big deal,” raise the vertical a hole and roll out the plastic tarp another 6 inches or so, and get the horse used to having something flat on the ground in front of the fence. Put a rail on the edge of the plastic to stabilize it, and to create a visual ground line.

Gradually roll out the tarp, little by little. You will be amazed at how readily the horse will adapt to this.

OK, realistically a tarp on the ground isn’t as daunting as a yawning chasm, but in terms of having to jump over, say, four feet of tarp in front of a jump, it’s EXACTLY the same effort as jumping a four foot wide ditch in front of a wall. Roll it out until it's bigger than the size of the actual ditch you'll be jumping, to see for yourself that the horse can do it.

Anyway, something to play with---.

Emilia and trinity in the victory gallop for the 2’6 “ hunter derby at R&BT. Second place !

Sam has been riding Kiss most Mondays for a while and mostly out in the sand ring. Last night was her first canter in the indoor and it went pretty well. She got both leads and we rewarded her by putting her away with a pat and a treat. She is really getting to be the nicest mare.

For those of you who were following Kisses progress until we got really busy showing, haying, etc. tonight we played with her again. Just a little fence and she was pretty ok with just hopping over! Such a nice steady little broken horse. She had an injury so never raced. Her right fetlock has some scaring. She came from Oklahoma auction. She trailers great, gets along with the others, has shown in halter classes. She hangs out at the trailer with others. She has gone from a worried filly to a more trusting mare. She has 3 nice gaits and is just starting to jump a little.

Although this video is from a while back, we are on the second week of her cantering under saddle and she is doing just fine. No crazy running or misbehavior. Steers pretty well, has been to a show and shown in hand and hung out tied to a trailer. Her coat is looking better although she has some long guard hairs still. We work on her training once a week and sometimes a little more often. Might be ready for a walk trot dressage test soon.

This was last Monday, and it went well so today Sam tried a canter. It went well but there was a wrong lead or two! No buck or bolt. Good girl Kiss

So Sunday we took Kiss to a local show to see how she was going to be. Just entered in hunter breeding horse. She got a second to a very lovely grey gelding. More importantly, she hauled fine and behaved well tied to the trailer. She loaded like an old pro. She had a few baby brain moments when the stable mate left to compete. Her Monday schooling was much like this ride but we added a Few poles. One plain, one striped. It went well except she decided to face the wrong way at the mounting steps so Sam just got on from that side.

Kiss tonight, after being lunged because it is spring fling season! First time ridden in the open ring. Her steering was a little rough at first. I had Sam try using her voice a little for transitions and reminded her to use just a squeeze of the rein in conjunction with a weight shift with her seat to turn her. Brushed her up pretty good after. I think maybe 7th or 8 th ride
