From the beginning riders to experienced competitors, Thistle Field Farm is always looking for dedicated students to add to our program. Our program attracts both first time riders and those that are experienced.
Lessons taught at TFF offer safe and structured lessons for children and adults of all riding levels and abilities.
Our instructor Taylor Halsey and well-schooled lesson horses/ponies will help you meet your riding goals, whether you have been riding for years or are just starting out. Mounted lessons emphasize riding safety and the development of a balanced seat in dressage and jumping. Unmounted horsemanship lessons that accompany the mounted lessons teach proper horse handling, grooming, care, and stable management skills.
Horse show experiences are a great way to have fun and build friendships. There is no pressure at Thistle Field Farm for students to show. However, for the student that is ready and wants to show there are many opportunities available.

My passion lies in teaching horsemanship and promoting safety around horses. Throughout my career, I've continually embraced new methodologies and perspectives. I firmly believe that any issues encountered are not the fault of the horse. In my training, facilitation, and coaching, the horse's well-being is always the priority. My approach is not discipline-specific; instead, I focus on foundational skills that prepare you for any path you choose to pursue. Our sessions include both groundwork and riding, but it's important to understand that riding is not the sole focus.
