Mini Horse Playdate at Sea Swell Campground

On Sunday June 14th, I took the little girls to Sea Swell Campground so the campers could experience a little mini horse time! We spent the day grooming, playing targeting games, and even squeezing in a little art time.

Sea Swell Campground is run by Allison and Eric, who have made this special place feel even more magical this year. Along with all the lovely renovations, they have created such a welcoming sense of community by bringing in local activities and events—including visits from some very cute, very local minis!

The welcome center has a wonderful history of its own, as it was once a horse barn for polo horses. Today, one of the former stalls has been transformed into a cozy seating area for adults, while another is filled with shelves of board games. There is also local wine, beer, and coffee available to purchase.

And the setting is beautiful. The peaceful campground stretches right down to the ocean, with some tent sites tucked beside a little river. It is such a lovely place to spend a summer day.

The girls, Dolina, and I had so much fun meeting the campers and sharing a little bit of Moose Ridge Farm with them. We’re looking forward to heading back a few more times this summer!

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.
