Hampden Row would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy new year!

Coming with this new year, I am excited to announce that Hampden Row will be shifting focus away from showing on the national level to a more local and less show oriented group of clientele. I will also be offering freelance teaching and top notch care for retirees. I will still be operating out of Spring Valley Farm in Manakin Sabot.

As always, Hampden Row will provide excellent care to the horses and quality instruction to the riders. Thank you to all past and present who have helped Hampden Row succeed all these years. Please contact me for more information. - Jan Simpson
