RUNNING HORSE FARM is located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York. We are a small teaching, training, and boarding facility with roots in Classical Dressage, Natural Horsemanship, Centered Riding, and Competitive Trail. We take pride in our American Bashkir Curly and Sporthorse breeding program; and starting youngsters under saddle with balance, strength, and confidence to provide a strong foundation for any future discipline.
We Train both the horses that come to us for training and our sale horses, to be confident and to enjoy the many benefits of our strong cross training program. We start youngsters gradually with: Natural Horsemanship groundwork; Classical training on the longe with side reins and then long lines; and when we have a horse going well safely under saddle with confidence - we add cross training on our trail course and work in close proximity to other horses in informal Drill Team Sessions.. Whether you need your young horse started, or would like to add, trail work or dressage to your horse's repertoire - the monthly cost for Training is $700 and includes a stall with turnout and 4 training sessions per week. We accept reservations on a first come first serve basis throughout the year for a limited number of outside horses coming in for Training May through November .
We offer Private Instruction to riders interested in both work in hand and under saddle. Whether you are seeking to: learn to work your horse on long lines or the longe; increase your horse's sensitivity to your aids under saddle; add lateral work to your repertoire; learn basic Natural Horsemanship skills; play with basic jumping; or gain basic trail skills, our approach to instruction is to provide an understanding of the training method that will allow the student to be capable ultimately of training a horse from the ground up. Private instruction is $60 pr lesson, and sessions last 45 minutes. (Private Lessons for boarders and leasing students are $50.) We do offer semi-private instruction on request to two riders who may be working at similar levels. We also offer limited lessons on one of our horses.
We also travel to farms, Consulting for both training and instruction. If you would like Marla to work at your facility, please call to discuss your needs.
Our Trail Trial Series of competition reflects our cross training program. The course involves beautiful varied terrain over our 45 acre course with checkpoints that include optional obstacles: water crossings; natural fences; lateral work... The horses that attend our Series include a wonderful variety of breeds; and the riders that compete vary in age and disciplines. The course is designed to be ridden by both the competitive rider as well as the trainer looking for a positive schooling environment for the green horse.

We offer For Sale rare, hardy, athletic American Bashkir Curly Horses bred for competition, and young Sporthorses. Our horses live in herd groups in pastures of varied terrain including woods and some water crossings. This lifestyle provides our horses with a strong foundation of appropriate social skills that can only develop within a herd group, and establishes trail sense and agility for future training. When our horses come of training age, they are schooled gradually on the ground employing methods from: natural horsemanship, longing with side reins, and schooling with long lines; and then in the arena, on the trail, and in close proximity to other horses in informal Drill Team Sessions to shape equine athletes balanced both physically as well as mentally. We are preparing athletes with solid foundations to pursue any future discipline.
