Knoll Farm Riding School Program: Knoll Farm has approximately 25-30 school horses. These horses vary from beginner types to advanced dressage or jumping. For over thirty years we have taught and trained thousands of students, many going on to compete nationally and even internationally.
Whether you are a first time rider, getting back into riding after some time off, wishing to ride for pure pleasure or wishing to be serious about competition, we have horses and staff to suit your needs. We start teaching children as young a six, horse care and how to ride as well as those in pursuit of the equine sport later in life.

Our instructors are capable of teaching at various levels from beginner through advanced in dressage, hunt seat equitation, and jumpers. Your progress, as in all sports, depends a great degree on your individual ability and the time and resources you have to dedicate to riding lessons. We offer private, semi-private and group lessons in order to suit your needs.

If you have any questions or would like to schedule a lesson please contact the Knoll Farm office between the hours of 9:00am -9:00pm Mon.-Fri. and 8:00am-4:00pm weekends. We are open seven days per week and closed only for Christmas day, New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day and Easter Sunday.

Horse Shows: Knoll Farm holds at least two USDF, USAEQ, LIDCTA Dressage shows per year. In addition Knoll Farm will host "C" rated USAEQ and LIHSA recognized Hunter/Jumper shows. These shows will be held throughout the year and will include winter indoor shows.

Leasing Knoll Farm School Horses: After you have become a regular student at Knoll Farm, horses are available for rental to take to horse shows. It is advisable for your trainer to accompany you to a show. Your trainer is familiar with show rules and can help you and your horse from making costly mistakes, as well as giving you confidence and support. We provide the opportunity for you to lease one of our school horses. Horses may be leased outright from month to month or you may participate in a partial lease. Partial leases allow you to ride a particular horse (on your own) four days per week while we will continue to use that horse in our school. Leasing a school horse if the perfect prerequisite to owning your own horse.
