Throwback to Annie-Sue's First Days on the Farm

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

This was when Annie-Sue arrived at 4 months old on August 12, 2006—wow! I remember she was this soft little peach fuzz baby, and when I entered the barn, she had the highest little whinny. We put her in her own stall for a week so Pedro and Lucky could visit over the door, then we let her out with the “big” horses. Lucky instantly decided that he was mama, and she would hide under his belly when Pedro got too pushy. She was a surprise gift from Justin on our 6th anniversary, hence her name—Annie-versary Sue-prize!

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.
