OUR PROGRAM
We put Horsemanship, Safety, and the love of the horses first.
We begin with the love of horses and expand into lifelong learning using patience, practice, perseverance, and compassion. We use these principles to guide our training program that includes trainers with over 150 years of collective experience. Our program is governed by horsemanship and equitation fundamentals, along with honest and clear communication. Together we strive to create a loving and joyful program for all of our equine partners and humans. Horse lovers from all spheres are invited to join our riding school. Our vision is to make Phoenix Farm a joyful escape where our students can learn and grow together and where lifelong friendships are formed.
priortized goals and customized plans for you and horse.
Do you want a teacher who believes in you? We collaborate with our students to learn their strengths and weaknesses to help build both attributes into brighter possibilities? Let’s collaborate, together we’ve got this.
Do want a trainer who works with your individual horse(s)’ character and needs? We make a plan and adjust for what your horse needs on any given day.
Do you want someone who thinks it through, puzzles and tries conservative measures first to remedy challenges?
Did you ever wonder how to ensure a horse’s optimal health or rehab an injury? We work backward from the end goal of health and make a plan.

Program guidlines
We strive to ensure our farm is a place of joy, learning, and teamwork. We use the guidlines below to help us in this endeavor.
Safety first (both physical and psychological).
Communicate openly and honestly with the person most likely to be able to solve a given challenge. If this is hard for you, we have a simple four step process that we can teach you, that always results in success.
We practice kindness, compassion, and listening here. No drama, bullying, or backstabbing. If this occurs it will be addressed directly between all parties involved. No exceptions.
