Running Fox Run Farm requires lots of time and energy, especially from our horses! They do most of the work. Teaching people how to ride is a big job. Matching the right horse with the right rider is our specialty. Each horse has their own unique personality. Some of our horses are sweet and shy while others are full of playful energy. When deciding which horse to mount our riders on, we first like to get know our students and their level of experience. Next we pair them with a horse that will safely complement their personality and skill.
If you are thinking about riding with us at Fox Run Farm, please take a few moments to read about our horses. Keep in mind that being matched with the right horse is a fundamental step on any equestrian journey.
