Frequently Asked Questions

What types of riding lessons do you offer?
Lessons are available for riders at various stages, from beginners who have never sat in a saddle to more experienced riders looking to refine specific skills. The instructor will assess your level during your first visit and build from there.
What does horse boarding include?
Boarding typically covers daily feeding, fresh water, stall cleaning, and turnout. It's always worth confirming exactly what's included in your boarding package, as additional services like blanketing or grain supplements may be handled separately.
Can I visit my boarded horse any time?
Most boarding facilities have set visiting hours or ask that you check in during staffed times for safety reasons. It's a good question to raise directly with East Hill Farm when you're discussing your boarding agreement.
Do you offer lessons for children?
Yes, younger riders are welcome and lessons are adapted for age and ability. Children's lessons tend to focus on basic safety, horse handling, and building confidence in the saddle before moving to more technical skills.
What's the climate like for riding in Vermont year-round?
Vermont winters are real, and outdoor riding does get limited between December and March in many years. Indoor or covered arenas are a significant advantage during those months, so it's worth asking about the facility's winter riding setup.
How do I know if a boarding facility is the right fit for my horse?
Visit in person before committing. Look at the stall size, cleanliness, turnout space, and how the staff interact with the horses already there. A good facility will be happy to answer your questions and show you around without any pressure.
