Boarding, Training & More
Everything a horse lover could want at Hidden View Farm
Now offering Somatic Therapy with Horses
Horses have documented healing powers in therapeutic applications. They always reflect what needs to be seen on the inside in order to help us walk in the way we aim to on the outside. Horses help us identify our feelings, overcome our fears, establish trust, define healthy boundaries, and develop effective communication skills.
Research has also proven the effectiveness of Equine Therapy, showing results like lowered blood pressure and heart rate, alleviated stress levels, and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression. We are invited into a deeper relationship with horses, without the use of words but simply by being fully present in the moment and attuned to one another which fosters a sense of safety, mutuality, and supportive regulation.
Boarding Services
Hidden View Farm offers monthly, stall board only (no outdoor board). Our horses spend the greater part of their day (weather permitting) outside in one of our many, grassy, wooden fence pastures (unless single turnout is required, which we can accommodate). We offer Purina Feed products and all the hay your horse can eat, straight from a local farmer just down the road. There are 27 stalls in our barn which is a combination of a restored 19th century dairy barn and recent additions. We have a lovely wash stall with hot water and an outdoor wash area, also with hot water. We have a full time Hunter/Jumper trainer on staff for our boarders, and we also regularly welcome several visiting trainers for Dressage and Eventing so we cover all disciplines for our boarders.
Riding and Dressage Lessons
Hidden View Farm offers a high quality riding lesson experience (Hunter/Jumper) for riders of all ages and skill levels on one of our 7 amazing school horses/ponies. Our program is on the small side as we prefer to teach individual, one hour lessons which we feel maximises the rider’s experience and growth potential, and at the same time, helps keep our school horses healthy, sound, and balanced. For our boarders, we offer lessons in all disciplines with our in-house trainers as well as a variety of wonderful, regular visiting trainers.
