Welcome to Brighton Ridge Farm LLC!
We specialize in resistance free natural gaited horsemanship in a quiet, relaxed environment.
Developing a willing partnership between horse and rider is our top
priority. Pleasure riding or show.
Services include: training (starting, maintenance,
tune-ups, problem horses), lessons, evaluations, clinics, workshops, breed certification,
boarding, and consignment services. We support natural sound horses and do not use mechanical or artificial
devices (heavy shoes, chains, chemicals, etc.) to enhance gait. All breeds welcome!
