Located in Monmouth, Maine USA on 40 acres of pastures and wooded trails. Outdoor ring, trails,
walking distance to schools, family oriented atmosphere, and quality care. The original barn was built in the 1800's and has been used as the town "Fort" in the beginning. Sometimes we even find old pumpkin bricks along the stone walls in the trails. There is a hay "Claw" with a running track in the lofts, and tons of nostalgia here.
Don't let your loved ones get lost in the big barn shuffle! Stalls or run-ins a re available in our quiet stress free barn where natural equine living takes place. We offer professional, individual, customized care for your equine. Be prepared for your horse to kick back its heels and relax while learning many new things!
Whether you are looking for a long or short term boarding facility, training, communications, or natural equine living we can help! Give Katherine a call today to come and see the barn. We have all ages, breed, and special needs here.
Katherine L Murphy has been riding horses for over 17+yrs in Western, English, Trail, Dressage, and is a Certified Mounted Police Officer.
" I have studied under the guidance of many different trainers, utilizing the positive training principles to build a responsive relationship for horse and rider. I believe in the philosophy that the team is continually, effectively, and skillfully communicating with the each other. Always together, working toward the attainable goal(s) that the student and I have set. The student becomes the natural leader in the relationship, yet sometimes a humble student of the horse too! Consistency in the team is key to enhancing the horse and rider to further their abilities and education using natural aids, not artificial ones. Each individual team is wonderful to work with and incorporating the element of fun too!"
