Dark Horse riders: mark your calendars and charge your heated vests as we prepare for a charity horse show on February 21st!
We’ll have classes for riders of every level, from lead line to walk/trot/canter, plus showmanship, unmounted games, and everyone’s favorite: the costume class!

Plus for even more fun, we’ll be warming up with a hot chocolate bar and raffle prizes, all benefiting Boston Children’s Hospital and The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp. We hope to see you there!

(In the event of bad weather, the show will be pushed back to 2/28)

Congratulations are in order to the Streiff family on their purchase on Maddox! This handsome saddlebred gelding couldn’t be happier to have some girls of his own to love, and we are very grateful that they will continue to share him with our lesson program. We can’t wait to watch you girls continue to grow and learn with your very own horse!
