Hobby Horse Farm specializes it's learning method of safe HORSEMANSHIP through the classical teaching of the "Old School." Learned horsemanship skills are learned by becoming a master of the basics which can be exhibited through improving the horse's natural gaits.

By classically developing the natural gaits of the horse, proper muscles become developed and supple which can then protect the joints and ligaments, resulting in longevity of the horse. Old School teaching will create a thinking rider who is capable of riding a horse in motion, with precise timing of the aids, which creates trust, confidence and obedience that is very important in any discipline of riding. The journey of creating the greatest bond between horse and rider can then begin. What is created with this journey, is a dependable horse that is safe in any situation from the show ring to rugged mountain riding to pleasure riding at home.

Hobby Horse Farm believes that in addition to a moderate show schedule, a well rounded horse is the result of always remembering, Horses are made to be Horses. Therefore, training also includes campouts, river and trail rides in wilderness areas, and recreational rides at the beach.
