I started riding at just months old, sitting in front of my Mom and by 2 years old I had my first pony. In 1969, at the age of 6 I attended my first show and have never stopped since. That was the year I got my first Morgan Horse...and the love story continues. I began teaching at 16 years old and Cherry Ledge Farm became a reality in January of 1992. I have dedicated my entire life to helping horses and their owners have the best level of communication possible and sharing my knowledge with those that are interested. In 2014, I started to think about how many people and horses I have been blessed to work with and at that point I figure I have worked with over 1,000 students and over 500 horses, ponies and drafts of all breeds and disciplines. Since 2008, I no longer have done under saddle training but I still offer all of the ground work training and teaching the next generation the skills to carry on my work. In 2017, I proudly and emotionally retired my beautiful Lippitt Morgan Stallion, Mint Black Jack. He was presented in center ring at the Lippitt Country Show in Tunbridge, Vermont and at our home town Woodstock Fair. Jack was in his last Memorial Day Parade in 2018 and I sadly laid him to rest in my arms on Dec. 3, 2018. My young students have been proudly showing his daughter, Ashley and she is the spitting image of her Daddy. If you love Morgans and wish to visit the farm, please contact me by private message. Karen
