Linda Adams and daughter Wendy Legge Murphy  are MA Licensed Riding Instructors with

many years of experience in many different aspects of Equine Activities.

We offer lessons to all ages and abilities.

Here at Booth Hill Farm our instruction is individual and designed to reach the goals of every student.

We have a wide  variety of 10 different lovely, well trained  horses and ponies from Miniature Horses to  larger Quarter Horses and Cross breeds.

Our apprentice instructors and consolers all understand our way of teaching , we have taught hundreds of people to ride over the last 35 years. We do have a professional yet relaxed atmosphere  Our philosophy  is SAFETY FIRST , all students learn at their own pace.

We do feel it is important for all students to groom and tack up their own horse or pony for each lesson. This helps build a communication between horse and rider before the lesson.

For Safety sake  everyone starts with at least 1 private lesson.

Our staff will determine when a student will be ready to ride in a semi-private

or in a in group lesson.

We encourage older students to move up to become helpers with chores and our Therapeutic Program. 

All students must ride in proper fitting riding attire while riding.

Please have layered clothing for the colder weather with  gloves, boots, jodhpurs, (1/2 chaps optional)and  a helmet.

Our programs promote confidence and build self-esteem in a relaxed yet professional way.

The horse will teach us a lot more than how to ride if we can learn to listen to them.

We are open every day. Lessons are by appointment only.   call:781-545-2340
