We are a hunter-jumper competition and training stable, and riding school. Our practices and methods are classic hunter-jumper style based on the George Morris model.

We offer private and group lessons. We recommend that our students take at least one lesson per week to ensure consistent progress. Trailering-in is welcome.

Thanks to our indoor area, lessons continue year round, regardless of the weather.

Each student's lesson program is designed specifically for him/her. Students who do not have a horse or pony of their own are matched with one of our lesson horses or ponies, all of which are safe, experienced, well trained and schooled regularly by our trainers.

Once students are comfortable grooming and tacking up, students are expected to have themselves and their horses ready by their appropriate lesson time, allowing them to ride for the full allotted time.

As students progress, they may wish to move to group lessons with riders of similar abilities.

Instructors:
Sofia Clark ; Sofia has been a rider all of her life, competing in the juniors and then attending Skidmore College where she took Equine Studies classes and riding instruction. In 2005 she started a summer pony camp at the Twitchell Hill Farm Homestead and it all took off from there! Sofia teaches and coaches beginners through junior jumper students; she combines positive cheerful energy in her teaching and coaching with the highest standards for excellence in horsemanship and equitation.

Oakley Clark; Oakley’s journey through the professional horse world started in Vermont but soon branched out to Quebec, Canada where he was a jumper rider and working student with Laurie Bucci. He turned professional in 2013, training and coaching at Twitchell Hill. Soon however his talent caught the eye of George H. Morris and he started working for GHM at clinics and riding for him in Florida at WEF in 2013. In the winter of 2014 he worked for Havens Schatt (and learned more about the hunter world.) Currently he is riding and assistant training at Heritage Farm for Andre Dignelli and returns to Twitchell Hill frequently to school our horses and teach clinics.

Susan Guran ; Susan teaches Adult and Child Beginner and Therapeutic Riding lessons and runs the Pony Day Camp program through The Horse's Touch at Twitchell Hill Farm.

I offer both English and Western lessons.

Western riding lessons are game-focused, with an emphasis on learning how to ride safely and develop a secure seat while riding for the fun and adventure of it! If you are an English rider wanting to cut loose a little and expand your horizons, or are a beginner wanting to develop a secure and confident seat that will be serve you well in any discipline you choose in the future, Western is a great and exciting option. Lessons will progress in the direction of the student's interest, and could include barrel racing, gymkhana games, trail riding, and bareback riding.

English lessons are available for kids and small adults on Laura, our foundation fell pony mare. We will learn in the Classical Dressage tradition (aka The Art of Riding Warhorses!), the top tier of which is practiced by the Lipizzaner stallions at the Spanish Riding School. English lessons will also be focused on having fun while learning to ride, with a lot of the same gymkhana game elements as with western riding for beginners, but will be particularly exciting for anyone wishing to advance in dressage or other English disciplines because of the depth of skill and riding technique covered. I also should emphasize that a person trained to ride in the classical tradition will have the secure seat, control, and horse sense to master any discipline they choose later on. It lays an excellent foundation of solid riding skills and good communication between horse and human that give students a headstart no matter what they choose to pursue later.... See More
