Horseback Riding in Essex, Massachusetts (Essex County)

My husband an I offer one on one instruction as well as group instruction. Both of us are MA certified instructors and have been teaching for well over 10 - 15 years. We are a family run buisness and a very family atmosphere. Here at Legacy Stable there is a place for all levels of riders and all levels of interest. From just wanting to ride every week and build confidence to showing we do it all. There is no pressure to show at Legacy, alot of our students adults and kids just want to ride and be around horses. But if your dreams also include showing we can reach those dreams for you as well.

From beginner riders that take part in local shows then move their way up to the Legacy Academy Program and show in the academy shows offered in new england. This program allows riders enrolled in lessons to compete locally in MA and NH, on farm owned lesson horses. The Academy Program is designed to introduce the new rider and their family to the world of horses and showing with out the commitment of owning their own horse.

Once a rider has excelled in our Academy Program Mike and Liz Murphy will help guide riders and their families through the horse purchasing process. Each family will sit down with Mike and Liz to discuss the goals they have in mind; Mike and Liz will then start searching to find the right match for the person they are looking for.

We at Legacy Stable can take you as far as you can dream: whether you are interested in competing on a local circuit or the national circuit. Mike and Liz will help you meet your goals and you have plenty of fun, smiles, laughter and meet new great friends along the way.

I have been involved in the equine industry for the past 18 years as a horse owner, rider, competitor, manager, coach, and trainer. With riding background encompassing hunters/jumpers, equitation, western/English pleasure, eventing, competitive trail, dressage and driving, I am a well-rounded and open-minded equestrian, always in search of more learning! In 2006, I completed a 6 month apprenticeship with master farrier Dicky Sevigny. Then in 2008, after a year apprenticeship under MA licensed instructor and farrier, Frank Longo, I received my instructors license. I have also worked with noted trainers such as Lainey Johnson, Susan Williams, Nona Bianchi, Gwenyth Santagate, Diane Marshall, and Melissa Tansey. I regularly host clinics at my barn with Sue, Nona, and Diane.

Full Circle Equestrian offers instruction from beginner through advanced in English/western Pleasure, hunters/jumpers, dressage, and gymkhana. All lessons are located in Blackstone, MA while my brand new state of the art facility in Uxbridge, MA is being built. If you are interested in receiving updates on the construction of our new facility please email and I will add you to our mailing list. Our new facility will offer lessons/training, boarding, leasing, birthday parties, therapeutic lessons and showing. In your lesson with me you will start with a private lesson so that I can analyze your individual needs. Together we will build a strong foundation of balanced coordination and learn the basics to successfully ride independently. I teach each student based on their individual goals, and go at the most comfortable pace for that person, nobody finds themselves overwhelmed either physically or emotionally. After your private lessons, you will have the option to continue in private lessons or move into semi-private or group lessons. Whether you ride recreationally or wish to show from 4-H to rated, I can help you reach your goals in a safe, fun and low stress atmosphere. We attend some 'A' rated shows throughout the year. This year we are doing the Cape Cod Hunter Series which is USEF "C" rated, NEHC, MHC, SEHA, & MHJ rated and will also attend some schooling shows for the beginner showers. I offer instruction on well schooled horses or can travel to help you with your horse. I believe in teaching complete horsemanship. Not just riding. All my lessons are dressage based because having a good solid dressage foundation will help you to excel in any discipline from gymkhana to show jumping. My goal is to help train horse and rider to work together in a positive and patient manner. Full Circle Equestrian is open by appointment only.... See More
