Information
Our goal at Higher Ground Farm is to improve
horsemanship through trust, feel and harmony. In order to do
this we strive to create a nurturing environment where horses
and humans can learn from and enjoy each other.
Our Eclectic Horse Shows have been created to provide
an opportunity for horses and riders of all ages, disciplines, and
levels of experience to have fun while participating in low-key
competition and challenging themselves to grow and expand
their horizons. If you have suggestions as to how we could
improve the experience or classes you would like to see at
future shows, please speak to Jamie or Erin - we would love to
hear your ideas!
We hope you will have fun and enjoy the show!
