Our Philosophy.

Better Basics for Better Riding.

Here at Red Fern Farm, we are firm believers that the key to success in riding lies in a correct set of fundamentals, no matter the discipline.  We focus on creating confident and educated horses through our training program.  We believe that confidence comes from success, and success comes from the right training program.  

Our horse-centered program let's the horses and the riders guide the work and the progress, careful to work within the physical and mental capability of each horse.  We take an empathetic approach to ensure our horse is heard and understood while being taught the basics of riding and beyond. 

We focus our training on the people, teaching the horse how to understand the aids, how to be relaxed about their job, and how to work best for their owners and riders.  While we believe time spent with a trainer in the saddle is a great thing, we focus on helping each horses rider to be an active participant in the training program.  Our greatest goal is to develop the bond and communication between each of our training horses and their own respective rider.
