Lessons For Owners . . .
Patchwork Farm offers top instruction and a mixed local and “A”
Show Schedule as well as first class boarding and training for owners.
Please contact us for a current rate sheet. From the careful development
of the youngster (both equine and human) to the expert management
of the veteran, Patchwork Farm provides a healthy, safe and progressive
program.
Our program isn’t huge. We have just 20 stalls for our boarder
clients. Patchwork Farm is a training facility that is dedicated
to the highest standards of horsemanship. All horses boarded at
the farm must be enrolled in a training or lessons program. The
minimum requirement is (4) lessons or training sessions per month.
We don’t have a minimum showing requirement. Although ours
is a showing oriented program, not all of our clients show.
Ship In Clients . . .
We do welcome ship-in students for lessons. Some at-home students
come for occasional tune-ups, others come every week and follow
our program at home.
Lessons for Non-Owners . . .
Yes, we take beginners. We enjoy starting riders
off right! Click here

All students are grounded in basic dressage or flat work (walk,
trot, canter) with the goal of learning to jump. Safety is a major
consideration at Patchwork Farm. Students are required to have their
own appropriately fitted, approved riding helmet and boots. We’ll
be happy to recommend several tack shops.
Riders who do not own their own horse are mounted on experienced,
proven school horses, several of whom are gently retired show horses.
Our school program is geared toward the beginner or novice rider.
We offer intensive summer riding camps for the horse-crazed. The
farm hosts several “in-house” shows per year so that
school students can get a taste of showing. To continue to progress,
Patchwork Farm riders may eventually lease or purchase their own
pony or horse that may compete at local shows. We offer full and
partial lease opportunities subject to availability.
We believe that riding provides a unique opportunity for children
to learn about responsibility, self reliance, compassion and goal
setting. It has been our experience that our top riders are also
the best achievers in school. Several of our students have received
riding and academic scholarships to major universities.
The bonds formed at the barn are a powerful deterrent to the bad
choices that many children make. Frankly, our riders are devoted
and very busy at Patchwork Farm. Riding is a long term endeavor.
We love being a part of our riders’ lives and appreciate the
support and loyalty or our families. Come be a part of it!
Patchwork Farm has "Farm Shows" for students who are new
to showing.
