In keeping with our commitment both to preserve and to share this beautiful land, in 2011 we decided to open the farm through a membership plan.
The concept of membership is common for golf, tennis and other athletic clubs where dues cover the cost of supporting and maintaining the facility, but it's a somewhat newer concept in the horse world. As places to ride out in the open become more scarce, we think this concept makes sense for the horse community as well.
For the riding community, membership offers full, private access to the farm's schooling facilities, conditioning tracks, horse swimming area, guest stables and extensive network of trails; for the farm, it offers a foundation for long term sustainability. We hope members come to feel that Ashland is a kind of second home, and we hope they take pleasure in knowing their membership is helping to preserve the land they are enjoying.
