There’s a New Gal at the Farm!

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

Welcoming Athena (who arrived mid-November) owned by Jillian and half leased by Morgan. She is available for Dressage lessons occasionally when her new moms are not riding her. She is such a love bug! Athena has quickly settled in with the other horses, making friends and becoming a favorite among everyone at the farm. Her sweet, affectionate personality shines through, and we’re so happy to have her as part of the Moose Ridge Farm family. With her calm demeanor and talent for Dressage, Athena is sure to help riders improve their skills while enjoying a special bond with her.

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.
