Hello,
I’ve just sold my beautiful farm and will need to board 2 horses starting in May, 2017. I think I’d like to move from Central PA to the Frederick area. Though I am an eventing fossil, my classical dressage foundations meshed with my x-rays have me concentrating mostly on dressage. Can anyone advise me of some good boarding places-don’t care about the discipline…just good horsemen. Thanks!
I hear good things about Playland Farm. I only went there for a show once (dressage fix-a-test + show jumping), but it seemed nice. There is an indoor, a small outdoor near the indoor, and a larger outdoor down the hill. The SJ that day was on grass. The owner gives balanced riding clinics and I believe is dressage focused.
There are a lot of nice barns and good trainers in the Frederick area. The http://equiery.com has great listings.
Higher Ground stables in Hanover, Pa 17331
Have both Dressage Major Jeremy Beale and Eventer Sally Shirley in for monthly clinics.
I second By Chance Farm. We went to a RECOGNIZED USDF show there in August and it was great. They had the world’s best ring steward, he was cracking me up!
They have nice cross country obstacles everywhere, and can you imagine the convenience of a recognized show right at home? I’d board there in a heartbeat if it wasn’t so far away.
