Jackie’s Year of Growth

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

Look at those straight teeth and long lower whiskers!
If only Invisalign worked that great for me!

Horses have so much expression if you allow them…

Jackie came to the farm a year ago this month, and when she arrived, she was so shy—she had big eyeballs and held her breath. She would stand awkwardly on the cross ties, frozen in place, and when you led her around she was like a giraffe, stiff and unsure.

But look at her today—not shy anymore!!

She’s actually a funny little girl… full of personality, mischief, and growing confidence. It's been such a joy to watch her transformation.

Positively Reinforcing good horse and dog behavior

Moose Ridge Farm is located in Lincolnville, Maine just 15 minutes from the coast. A small Dressage Barn where ground work and under saddle work come together to create deeper understanding between horse and rider through clicker training. The horses are able to move around 24/7 in paddocks adjoining their stalls and in the fields. There is a lovely sunny indoor arena, heated tack room and warm water in the wash stall. Horses are given hay 4x day and stalls are fluffy. Alexandra has been clicker training horses for 23 years - her personal horses, her boarders and her riding students. She loves putting the puzzle pieces of animal behavior and training of equines and canines together, not only worki.n with the animals but also coaching the humans. Dog classes, though new to the farm, are not new to her. She grew up with dogs and cats, has raised 3 dogs the past 25 years and is a true animal lover. Positive Reinforcement training is fun and encourages kind, clear communication within boundaries.
