Everyone is welcome

“Showing is not a requirement at our farm. Come join the fun, all ages, all levels. As long as you love horses, you are welcome at Breakaway Farm.”

Our riders include A and B circuit competitors and riders who never set foot in a show ring. They all come for the same reasons: real learning, good friends, and excellent care for their horses.

Our approach

Four classes every rider enters.

Ribbons are fun. What we're really building is a rider who knows their horse, works as part of a team, and handles pressure well, in the ring and out of it.

Class01
Learning
Horsemanship before ribbons.
Riders learn to groom, tack, and care for their horses as well as ride them. Every lesson builds on sound basics, so progress lasts whether the goal is a first canter or a national final.
Class02
Teamwork
Nobody rides alone here.
Riders cheer each other on at the barn and at the in-gate, share the work on show days, and learn that a horse and rider are a partnership. Many of our riders never show and stay for the friendships.
Class03
Character
The lessons that leave the barn.
Horses teach responsibility, patience, and resilience. Riders learn to show up for an animal that depends on them, handle a bad round with grace, and celebrate a good one with their team.
Class04
Competition
Where it all gets tested.
Regional hunter, jumper, and equitation shows give riders a goal to work toward and a place to put it all together. Riders who want to go further can move up to A and AA competition with our trainers.
