Walks outside
Grooming (spring is coming soon as Vaquero is shedding!)
Snuggling Pedro and Annie Sue
Getting to know Mr. Derek through clicker training exercises — helping him find his calm and confident self!!

Soooooo enjoying Kristine’s company, lots of happy laughter and paddock picking!! 💕💜
Having a great time setting up Horse Blanket Bags with KATIE, the most incredibly talented seamstress!
So fortunate to have Bea and India’s love and help with the chores — their kindness to all the horses is such a blessing!

Missing Apple but still feel her love and presence around us 💜
Hope you too are finding joy this season.....

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.
