Meet The Team

Korynn- Oldest daughter, Farm manager & riding instructor. Korynn has been riding since, well, forever, and got her licence to teach the day she turned 18. She is CHA certified and takes every opportunity to participate in clinics and events to further her education, knowledge, and skills in the equine industry.

If you stop by the barn, you will most likely run into her teaching a lesson, riding a horse, spending quality time with her Morgan horse George, or quite possibly napping in the tack room...

Bella-middle daughter. Bella has just completed her first year at UMass Amherst, where she is studying Animal Science with her focus on Pre-Vet. You can find her in the barn snuggling with her Appy mare Stella or driving her miniature horse Simo. She is also my go-to person when it's time to shear the angora goats!

Samantha-Youngest daughter. Sammie is one of THE hardest-working 15-year-olds I know! After her homeschool work is done, you can typically find her in the barn cleaning, feeding, grooming, riding or spending "free time" with her sassy little Mustang, Jude. She enjoys going out to shows & clinics and participating in our High School IEA riding team.

Andrew-Middle son. Drew is a phenomenal stable hand, landscaper, horse handler and a great rider! He prefers a casual fun ride or a gymkhana show. He is always happy to lend a helping hand in the barn or with lessons.

Danny-Youngest son. Want a farm tour?? Danny is on it! He will happily take you around and introduce you to all of our 4-legged family members. Can't find a saddle or a bridle...Just ask Danny Boy, he will point you in the right direction! He adores the animals and loves to ride! His favorite pony is no longer with us, but he has started trying out some of the other horses and can't wait for the upcoming gymkhana season on Beast (aka Bella)!

Area 11 Default

At age 8, Dawn acquired her very first pony. Her passion for horses began with a small Shetland pony named Abby. As most small ponies can be, this pony was both magnificent and downright naughty at the same time. She learned so much from this little pony, including how to work hard and take good care of an animal that was reliant on her, how to have confidence and tell the pony that she couldn't just run back to the barn, how to have unconditional love, and how the barn is the most amazing place to simply be. Dawn kept this love with her throughout her life and went on to study equine studies in college, earning her riding instructor license and working and teaching at numerous barns throughout the years.

She and her husband Andrew, found and purchased this land with the dream of having the horses be at home and having a small backyard farm. Now, with their six wonderful children, their dream is becoming a reality. The barn was made possible thanks to Andrew's extraordinary talent and vision. He painstakingly constructed the stunning building we have today using salvaged materials from an old barn that he disassembled, but it was a lengthy process and is still undergoing construction.

The children help with every element of running the farm, including cleaning stalls, training the horses, mending fences, taking care of the grounds, and educating community members on the importance of good horsemanship.
