Cando farm is a truly amazing stable for horses and riders. It not only offers different disciplines with a variety of knowledgeable instructors, but has a friendly environment, well-kept facilities, and a great location. Cando farm deserves to be the best barn of the year. This farm may very well have some of the brightest and fun instructors of all time. They are eager to help and teach all of their students and are willing to go out of their way to make their lessons interesting, challenging, and fun. Every level of riding always has room for improvement, and their focus is making their riders improved, educated, and experienced. A normal lesson consists of flatwork and jumping, however other lessons are offered. Students can take dressage, jumping, ride-out, private, or normal lessons.

In addition to offering a variety of lessons, Cando Farm offers awesome facilities. From pastures to the indoor arena, everything is neat and well kept. In all there are five pastures, providing plenty of grazing and turn-out area. The large barn occupies many horses in large, clean stalls. A convenient grooming/bathing area in the front of the barn is close by the downstairs tack room, making tacking up easy. Other facilities include a lesson tack room upstairs, a hayloft, an indoor arena, a feed room, and an outdoor arena. A short and pleasant trail ride leads to a great cross-country course which Cando Farm built themselves.

The horses at Cando Farm are phenomenal. The lesson horses and ponies are well trained, willing, and safe. For more experienced riders, slightly more challenging horses are offered. Riders have the option of helping to train a green horse once the rider is experienced enough. This not only improves the riders skill but teaches them how to care for and handle a more difficult horse. Some other things that Cando Farm offers are opportunities to show on all different levels. Riders enjoy preparing for and riding in a show, so our trainers are always aware of shows taking place. Also, many girls enjoy riding out to local cross-country courses and have a blast jumping fences and cantering long distances.

Cando Farm is an excellent riding stable with dedicated teachers and riders. It is fun to spend extra hours helping out at the barn, and great opportunities, such as riding out, are offered. The well-kept barn is safe and the horses are fantastic. In addition to all of this, Cando is a beautiful place with peaceful trees and colorful gardens. It?s convenient location has served people well for years, and the amazing sport of horseback riding is enjoyed every day by adults and children alike. Cando Farm Can Do anything!
