Imagine...the countryside where you can forget about stress and connect with horses...
... a farm, where you can learn and makefriends in a fun, flexible and challenging way...
... a barn where you can absorb everything about equines, understanding their nature, and ride them as one...
... wide open spaces and peaceful wooded
trails where you can ride for recreational,
competitive or therapeutic pursuits...
... a stable where your personal instructor is compassionate, approachable, honest and has a great sense of humor…..
Imagine……and then discover North Road Farm in Fremont, NH!
Where you born with the horse gene, an unexplained passion and need to be with horses? Jan Brubacher, owner and instructor, realized this in her early childhood years and pleaded with her mother for riding lessons. 30 years later, Jan still takes riding lessons and has developed a great scope of horsemanship: equitation, training, care and management that you will appreciate. With Jan, you will be able to improve and practice your equestrian skills by riding her schoolmaster horses. You will ride and feel better immediately.
Jan’s interests in riding cover the spectrum from English, Western, balanced seat, dressage, jumping to trail and beach rides. If galloping on the beach is your dream, a relaxing trail ride through scenic forests or the thrill of competition, you've come to the best place!
Complementing the variety of these disciplines, Jan has also owned and trained a variety of breeds including Quarter Horse, Morgan, Arabian, Thoroughbred, Welsh Cob, Belgian and Clydesdale crosses. She favors crossbred draft geldings as solid mounts with their steady, easy temperaments and gaits.
Jan is actively involved and a contributor in the horse community. She is the Founder and Leader of the Peppermint Ponies 4-H Club, a thriving club of horse-crazy youngsters. Jan is currently secretary of the Rockingham County 4-H Horse Leaders Association, Jumping Commitee Chairperson for Wentworth Hunt and member of the United States Eventing Association (USEA).
