Meet the crew!

Fritzi - 2nd/3rd level Lipizzaner gelding. My personal horse and schoolmaster for longe line work, natural horsemanship groundwork, and learning the nuances of dressage!

Merlyn - Training Level Fell Pony cross gelding. Saintly school horse who is tall enough for adults to ride, even 5’10” me! He is sweet, beautiful, and a really comfortable ride!

Goliath - Kerry Bog Pony gelding. Standing at 11.2h, Goliath is the perfectly sweet and patient pony for our smallest riders. My daughter will be showing Goliath this season 🥰

If you are looking to level up your horsemanship or riding in the Year of the Horse, let’s chat!

Super excited to have Marius back to Cobblestone Farms for lessons this April!! Interested in riding? Contact me today!

Cobblestone Farms is excited to announce that we will be hosting Spanish Riding School Bereiter, Marius Schreiner on Wednesday, April 25th and Thursday, April 26th for private lessons! We have a limited number of openings for haul in lessons!

This is a phenomenal opportunity to ride with a world class instructor whose methods have been passed down for over 450 years through the Spanish Riding School. Marius is a fantastic instructor with all ages and ability levels of riders and horses, whether you are learning to sit the trot or perfect your canter pirouettes, green horses through Grand Prix of all breeds and backgrounds. His patient, kind teaching style will have you and your horse feeling your best no matter what you work on!

Cobblestone Farms' trainer, Elise Freed, has ridden with Marius and two other SRS Bereiters since 2007, both in the US and Vienna, Austria. Her personal experience in Marius' lessons with many horses, ranging from freshly backed youngsters to FEI level, in traditional dressage and western dressage, has been nothing but positive, motivating, and truly life changing!

For more information and registration form, please visit the Facebook event linked below or www.dressageclinics.org. Jorie Sligh is handling all registrations, please do NOT mail paperwork or payment directly to Cobblestone for this clinic. Auditing information coming SOON! :-)

Feeling extra excited for the 2018 show season! I recently won the Stockbubble Giveaway that Neighs and chose her gorgeous peacock paisley print. And, since I'm in love with ALL of her stuff, also bought the cutest navy and gold polka dot one too. Will be so excited to change the look of my show outfit with one simple thing depending on the mood of the show. For all of you equestrian fashionistas, a stock tie addiction is the way to go!

Seriously, check out Stockbubble's shop on Etsy and follow her on Instagram!
