Merry Christmas from the Barn

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

Merry Christmas to all from Me, Pedro, Vaquero and Annie-Sue (thinking of you Apple and missing you my love!) Each year I love putting decorations on the horses for Christmas and usually do wreaths around their neck, so my old timers are pretty used to dressing up.

Vaquero was not so sure about the whole thing—being his second Christmas with me I think he did ok though....

Derek and Ody were not at all willing to wear the antlers yet would sniff them for a moment! 🎄🐴❤️

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.
