Welcome Back, Allison!

Written By Alexandra Mackenzie Doan

We were so happy to welcome Allison back to Moose Ridge Farm this summer!

Her first ride with Jackie went beautifully. Jackie was calm, attentive, and listening closely… just look at those wonderful Friesian ears! And Allison’s smile says it all.

Allison is not new to MRF. She spent two summers riding Vaquero, so it is especially meaningful to have her back with us and beginning a new partnership with Jackie.

There is something so special about seeing a horse and rider working together in harmony. We are excited to watch Allison and Jackie continue learning and growing together 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.
