Stillwater Farm is a full service boarding facility with a wonderful lesson program geared mainly towards children but we do offer lessons for adults as well. Our goal here is to build confidence, teach responsibility and make friends through riding horses.
We have a great group of lesson horses and ponies that are quiet, very kid safe, and wonderful to learn on. Our lesson program starts kids at the age of five and teaches beginners through advanced. We also travel to shows throughout the year.
