⚠️FULL BOARDING AVAILABLE⚠️
Atkinson Riding Academy "ARA" in Atkinson, NH has stalls available at our beautiful facility at Derby Talk Farm.
We also have a standard stall at our 8 stall "boutique" barn at the Little Estate.
We are looking for committed horse owners/riders that want to develop themselves and their horse(s) as athletes. For example: you want to accomplish riding goal(s), you like to stay involved in your horses training, you want to improve your riding, your horses condition or to compete. We love this!
We also have riders looking for leases which can defray costs for owners if interested.
ARA is a community of supportive women and men that cheer for each other in and out of the ring. Whether it be a trainer, instructor, rider, staff member or peer, we support our farmily.
Our Owner/Head trainer, Crystal Little has her bronze, silver and is 2 scores from gold in dressage. Crystal goes above and beyond to support her clients in riding goals and personal goals. She is the greatest of cheerleaders!
