Morning star Farm is a beautiful hunter farm. I can honesstly say that Morning star farm has been a second home for me. It is a great place to begin your riding experience in a positive way. I had my horse there for 8 years before moving out of state, even after moving, judy and shelly were always so helpful with my horse, she stayed there many months after the move before gettining settled in, Throughout the years they became like family Its deffinitly worth a try, They created one of the most caring, loving environments ive ever surrounded myself i, The horses are well fed , well taken care of, and others are always put first, Judy and Shelly are such caring people who love and attain to each horses necessites, This farm is very special to me and I have a really hard time staying away from the stable evne being hours away. They tought em everything i needed to know to get to the level i am at now, Ive had so many amazing experiences and unforgettable memories.

The place to find your song...
By LovelyBonesMusic<3 - Jul 5, 2010

Riding a horse is like learning a piece of music. You practice, and listen see where you are wrong. Practice some more. Riding is the same way learning a bounce or 3' 6" or some sorta of triple/double, or the forte part in your song, is like learning to make a bound with your horse. And once you learn your piece, inside and out, can play with your eyes closed, listening to just yourself play your piece, no mistakes, you have also found your bound. Each stride, a beat, each time you go over a jump, an accent. Here you can finish your piece. At this barn you will learn to play your music. It is a riding barn isn't it? It isn't about whether you are with your friends, or whether the barns are spotless, or whether the horses are all worth 100000 dollars. It's about learning your song. I am learning my piece at MSF and I'm almost finished learning it But I will finish it here. And then I will play, with my eyes closed, no mistakes, just myself and my horse .

Text:	"my family was referred to morning star farm by a family friend over three years ago when we moved from a large city to this tiny little hamlet. since then, both my daughter and son have learned to love and respect all the beautiful animals they have met at the farm. while the horsemanship and private lessons have taught my children to be exceptional riders, the instructors have taught them to be confident and strong. the assertiveness, gentleness and kindness they have learned has helped them excel as riders as well as young individuals. as a parent, i couldn't ask for more. i couldn't be happier!!!!!"

Text:	"I have known Judy and Shelly for the past 9 years and trust them with my daughters safety. My oldest daughter is now working on the farm which is giving her great learning opportunities. My youngest daughter is enjoying every second of being there and learning something new every time she rides. Horses usually make me very nervous. Judy and Shelly have calmed my nerves and it has been a pleasure to watch my children learn how to handle, love and be safe around horses. Morning star farm will always have a special place in our hearts. We are looking forward to many more happy years at the farm."

COMMENDATION FOR MORNINGSTAR FARMS

As a parent of an eleven year-old autistic boy, I have been sending my son for weekly riding lessons in the therapeutic riding program for ten months. Not only can I attest to the quality of the teaching, quality of horses, and constant safety protocol, but also praise the true sense of caring and commitment given to each and every student. My son has progressed so well that he just transitioned from a private half hour therapeutic lesson to a group hour long lesson. He has attained confidence, esteem, and a sense of self due in great part to the program at Morningstar Farms. Above and beyond that, he has made great friends with the horses!

I commend Morningstar Farms for operating an excellent facility and highly recommend their programs. Feel free to contact me directly.
