About Us
OUR STORY
Welcome to Blake’s Pony Farm! Founder Alex Blake developed a passion for horses and horseback riding early. She was fortunate to grow up on a small family farm, and spent her childhood taking riding lessons and taking care of her own horses. She was a member of the United States Pony Club for over a decade and tested through the "B" rating. Her focus in the early years was in the sport of Eventing, competing with great success. As an adult, that passion became a career. She got a job teaching horseback riding at a local therapeutic farm, and a new mission was born. In 2016, Alex became certified to teach beginner-intermediate recreational riding as well as horsemanship through the American Riding Instructors Association, and she established Alex Blake Equine Instruction. When she and her husband, John, bought their own family farm in New Hampshire in 2018, Alex Blake Equine Instruction found a new home at Blake’s Pony Farm. This quaint backyard barn is home to senior horses/ponies with special needs. Living out their best days whilst helping Alex fulfill her dream of sharing the magic and peacefulness of horseback riding with local students. Blake's Pony Farm offers private horseback riding lessons to children and adults!
