ACCEPTING MASTER GROOMER APPLICANTS

• ​Make an impact in the life of a horse by signing up for our Master Groomer Horse care & farm management program! Participants in this program are given the opportunity to bond & learn with our horses and play a major role in their life through weekly ground sessions and one-on-one time with your assigned horse. This unique program allows you the time and place to build a special bond with a farm horse. In addition, all Master Groomer participants will receive a grooming kit, seasonal gifts, and opportunities to participate in quarterly ground clinics and program events at Meadowthorpe Farm.

​ ​​ACCEPTING ITTY BITTY EQUESTRIAN STUDENTS (Children Ages 3 to 7) 

• Because tiny tots have not yet developed the hand/eye coordination required for horseback riding to be safe, we do NOT offer riding lessons to children this young.  We do offer horsemanship experiential education lessons for these students. If you wish for your young one to take a session with us where learning about horses: grooming, petting, hand-walking, grazing, giving treats and more is of interest, we can customize learning sessions for this age.
  
  

OFFERING ADULT MEDITATION MONDAY GROUP THROUGH OCTOBER 2022

• Join us in our garden for our adult monthly social women's group that meets the 3rd Monday of each month 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Sessions to be led by various instructors on various topics. This is your opportunity to relax, wind-down, meet new friends, and enjoy the horse farm and outdoor atmosphere and make new friends. Contact us at 901-210-5920 for details (course, instructor, and registration/fees)

LEASES AND PURCHASES

• Frequently offer in-barn leases on our training horses along with sale horses.

​LESSONS
IMPORTANT CANCELLATION POLICY: Less than 8-hour notice or NO SHOWS are required to pay full price for lesson missed prior to being allowed to schedule another session. No Exceptions. ​
​LESSON DETAILS

• We can only extend lessons to those committed to horsemanship education and those willing to take regular lessons (riding and horsemanship). MUST schedule minimum of one weekly lesson to participate in our program. 
• Hour private or semi-private pay-by-lesson model OR Pre-pay nonrefundable discount monthly package rate. (For total four a month). MUST fit in all rides within month purchased if miss a session!
• We offer lessons to kids & adults. (No large group lessons - we put safety first & group lessons for beginners is not our model of safety first with horses.)

BENEFITS: Our lessons are low-key and are mostly private to semi-private for the price most farms charge for group lessons. This means that you get more individualized and customized attention from your instructors, AND you get to ride in a quiet, low-key, and safe arena environment where you will be able to maintain focus needed for optimum learning in a relaxed setting. You will NOT be riding in an arena with many other riders and lessons happening at the same time, making it hard to concentrate and focus.
