Ashland Farm is a true treasure. The land itself is a beautiful oasis, and the facilities are outstanding, but it is the people who make it exceptional. It is a place where the sport and pleasure horse community of all ages and abilities can come together to enjoy and learn. My membership has turned out to be the best possible investment I could have made in my equestrian life.

Ashland has so much to offer. It's nice to have a local place that I can come to for a relaxing trail ride, then the next week come for serious cross country schooling. Between the arenas, trails, and cross country course, there's always something to do there that makes a membership well worthwhile.

Ashland Farm is to horse enthusiasts what Augusta National is to golfers!
My daughter and I have been members for one year and I don’t know what we would do without this wonderful facility. We board our horses at home and ride in our pasture. Ashland provides access to a jumping arena, two dressage rings, the cross country field, plus all of the wonderful trails. We get to experience every joy that a horse owner dreams of, and that sadly, many do not have access to. There are many news articles about access to trails and the countryside being restricted or eliminated due to development and land use rights; Ashland is preserving the magic of riding out in the open with your four legged friend.
Riding at Ashland is also great for my horse. He gets to experience a variety of activities and terrain to keep him interested in his job. We can condition on the grounds, or work on transitions in the ring, or set up a gymnastic to improve our jumping, or just hack about the property enjoying the wonderful scenery at a nice leisurely pace.

I believe Ashland Farm Is one of the most wonderful places on earth. It is the Garden of Eden. I feel so privileged to be a member of such a great and unique organization. The cross country field and the trails are my home away from home. If I need to practice a dressage test or prepare for an upcoming event I have the perfect place to do so. The small fee for all these benefits is a great bargain.

I'm eternally grateful for the opportunity you have given us. I can't remember ever having so much fun riding and playing. It gets a little lonely riding by myself all the time so I love being able to meet up with people. And I always feel so.... refreshed in my heart and soul after riding at your farm. Thanks again!!!

As a graduate A Pony Clubber and an avid eventer I am well aware that we are losing open land for riding. Many farmers or land owners cannot afford the general upkeep or taxes of their properties and are forced to sell some or all of their land to developers or others who will not keep the land open for horse use. I believe Ashland Farm's idea of a membership program is innovative. They have found a way to offset some of their costs and offer some beautiful land to avid horse people who might not otherwise be exposed to such wonderful riding possibilities. Even if I do not make use of my membership often I still feel it is vital as a horse person and eventer to be a member of Ashland Farm because it helps assure the horse riding community a place to ride in the open and school cross country. Hopefully if this program is a success others will follow in their path and offer memberships to their properties as well.

Horseback riding is a bond that my daughter and I share, both between us and with the horses. We appreciate our membership at Ashland Farm because it is a place where we can spend the day riding together. The trails, the lake, the cross country course and the dressage arenas are top notch and exquisitely maintained. The riding community and member portal are inviting, friendly and an unexpected benefit of membership. The complete experience is typical of what we have come to know as Ashland Farm. We would encourage anyone who enjoys horses and riding to consider joining.
