The Vermont property is a complete training center, with three large outdoor schooling arenas, an indoor arena, and a complete cross country course which includes a water complex, banks, ditches, drops, corners, and a variety of other kinds of fences. There is stabling available for 37 horses.

Our central Vermont location is one of the last places in the Northeast where there are still huge tracts of unspoiled riding country. We have 175 acres at the farm, and a 20 minute hack away, we have another 330 acre tract, high on the ridge between Tunbridge and Strafford, with panoramic views to the Green Mountains to the west, and toward New Hampshire’s White Mountains to the east.

Miles of old, abandoned town roads thread through the property, past ancient stone walls, and old foundations, where, in June, lilacs still bloom, though those who planted them have been gone nearly 200 years.

From May – October, this is a thriving eventing center. The Green Mountain Horse Association holds 3 events, from novice through intermediate, 27 miles away in S. Woodstock, VT. Hitching Post Farm, 13 miles away, has 5 events, Vershire Riding School, 12 miles away hosts 3 schooling trials, and we have 2 schooling trials – elementary, pre-novice and novice, here at Tamarack.

There are horse shows, dressage shows, and trail & endurance rides, virtually every weekend throughout the summer.

Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH, is 15 miles away, and the resort town of Woodstock, VT is 20 miles away, so there is plenty to do for non-riding family members who may come with you.

Southern Pines, NC has been a thriving horse community for decades, thanks in large measure to the 3000 acre Walthour-Moss Foundation, a huge tract of riding land, crisscrossed by hundreds of trails, and dedicated exclusively to riding. Hundreds of horse farms surround the foundation, to take advantage of the fabulous riding opportunities, and as virtually all of these farm owners allow riders to cross their properties, this adds probably another thousand acres that can be ridden over, with no car traffic whatsoever!

Tamarack’s property consists of an indoor arena, four barns with stabling for 27 horses, a large jumping arena, a dressage arena, and a complete cross country course, with water, banks, ditches, as well as the usual mix of obstacles. We are bounded on 2 sides by the Walthour-Moss Foundation, giving us optimal advantage of this extraordinary riding paradise, through rolling sandy lanes, fields, and woods of longleaf pine.
