We are located in beautiful rural Nottingham, PA, just 10 miles from Fair Hill, MD. We are a small boarding and sales facility that welcomes a little bit of everything including natural horsemanship, English and western trail riding, hunters, jumpers, low level eventing and dressage, fox hunting, paper chases and pretty much anything else that can be enjoyed from the back of a horse! We are a fun,
friendly barn where riders of all ages, disciplines and levels are welcome to board and ride with us. Our main goal is to be safe and have fun with our horses. Our mission is to create happy, easy-going, well-rounded and SAFE horses! We find that the more horses are exposed to, the more relaxed they become. Horses that are cloistered, "bubble wrapped" and never get a chance to see the world or have an opportunity to really learn and be challenged, can be spooky, unreliable, unhappy and even dangerous. Pair that horse with a timid or inexperienced rider and you can imagine the potential for disaster! Horses are prey animals and are naturally frightened. We spend a lot of time training the horses to let go of their prey instinct and trust us as their leader. Over protecting a horse and avoiding situations that are scary or uncomfortable to him is not the way to make a safe horse. Teaching him how to THINK, LEARN and TRUST is how he will grow into a superb athlete, partner, and friend! This training and experience makes for a well-rounded and solid horse that will be ready to learn and excel in whatever discipline you enjoy, be it hunters, dressage, jumping, rodeos, eventing or just relaxed weekend trail riding!
