I have been involved in the equine industry for the past 18 years as a horse owner, rider, competitor, manager, coach, and trainer. With riding background encompassing hunters/jumpers, equitation, western/English pleasure, eventing, competitive trail, dressage and driving, I am a well-rounded and open-minded equestrian, always in search of more learning! In 2006, I completed a 6 month apprenticeship with master farrier Dicky Sevigny. Then in 2008, after a year apprenticeship under MA licensed instructor and farrier, Frank Longo, I received my instructors license. I have also worked with noted trainers such as Lainey Johnson, Susan Williams, Nona Bianchi, Gwenyth Santagate, Diane Marshall, and Melissa Tansey. I regularly host clinics at my barn with Sue, Nona, and Diane.

Full Circle Equestrian offers instruction from beginner through advanced in English/western Pleasure, hunters/jumpers, dressage, and gymkhana. All lessons are located in Blackstone, MA while my brand new state of the art facility in Uxbridge, MA is being built. If you are interested in receiving updates on the construction of our new facility please email and I will add you to our mailing list. Our new facility will offer lessons/training, boarding, leasing, birthday parties, therapeutic lessons and showing. In your lesson with me you will start with a private lesson so that I can analyze your individual needs. Together we will build a strong foundation of balanced coordination and learn the basics to successfully ride independently. I teach each student based on their individual goals, and go at the most comfortable pace for that person, nobody finds themselves overwhelmed either physically or emotionally. After your private lessons, you will have the option to continue in private lessons or move into semi-private or group lessons. Whether you ride recreationally or wish to show from 4-H to rated, I can help you reach your goals in a safe, fun and low stress atmosphere. We attend some 'A' rated shows throughout the year. This year we are doing the Cape Cod Hunter Series which is USEF "C" rated, NEHC, MHC, SEHA, & MHJ rated and will also attend some schooling shows for the beginner showers. I offer instruction on well schooled horses or can travel to help you with your horse. I believe in teaching complete horsemanship. Not just riding. All my lessons are dressage based because having a good solid dressage foundation will help you to excel in any discipline from gymkhana to show jumping. My goal is to help train horse and rider to work together in a positive and patient manner. Full Circle Equestrian is open by appointment only.... See More

Lessons, training and coaching with Julie Blackburn. Julie teaches all riders "balance seat" which is an all purpose seat that encourages riding by balance rather than strength or force. Based on a modified dressage seat, balance seat encompasses riding on the flat as well as jumping and cross country riding.

Balance seat lessons can help you become a more effective rider by teaching you to control your breathing, vision, posture and mental imaging. This allows you to ride in a relaxed and balanced manner in any style saddle, using any rein handling technique.

Balance seat riders learn how to establish a harmonious physical interaction with their horse, rather than just achieving a prescribed show ring seat. Lessons include both mounted and unmounted exercises.

Julie is available for dressage, stadium jumping and cross country lessons.... See More

Riding lessons start on the ground first. We make these lessons FUN! First session special priced at $40.00 for a full private hour. I believe you should learn how to communicate effectively before climbing in the saddle. Earning the respect of your horse through groundwork techniques is essential to having clear communication and respect while mounted. My horse's are NOT your typical school horses, they are my personal well trained riding horses. I have miles of trails right out back. Mounted riding lessons are $60.00 hr. beginner or advanced rider you WILL learn safety tips that you were never taught! How many times have you heard "I rode once, the horse took off..... never rode again". That's not going to happen at Bobcat Farm

For beginners, you will not only learn to tack up a horse properly, you'll learn to lead, lunge, and do liberty work. You will develop a partnership with the horse, that you will carry forward to every equine relationship in your future.

Want to get ready to enjoy your time at a dude ranch? Start here, we have miles of trails!

For advanced horse riders/ owners, we'll start at your level and together will develop a entire new set of skills to advance your abilities, or get rid of bad habits you may have acquired. Our first lesson will still start on the ground, then we move on to under saddle. I will teach you counter moves that you can take home to your own horse or a horse you lease. Does your own horse or a horse you have ridden, spook, invade your space? I teach you how to stay safe in the saddle, and on the ground. Learn from a lifelong horsewoman and professional horse trainer. Call today!
This is what a client had to say..." I have been looking for a long time to find a horseback riding facility where I would be able to take lessons on natural trails. Not only did I find that at Bobcat Farm, but also with a very talented and excellent riding instructor named Cathie Hatrick-Anderson. You will feel absolutely safe and yet also learn a tremendous amount about horsemanship. Finally Cathie is also incredibly patient - which is a wonderful bonus. I now gladly travel each week to Bobcat Farm to learn more about horses and to improve my riding as an adult learner. It works! I might repeat myself but this place is absolutely wonderful. Her lessons are filled with useful information and are very reasonably priced. It might sound exaggerated, I have no idea why anybody would go to another place to pay more money and get less riding instructions. This is the real deal. Annette B" 6/17/2015... See More
