We are looking for one or two people to join our team caring for the horses. We have positions open for weekend mornings and weekend evenings. Saturdays and Sundays only.
The morning work involves feeding, grooming, turning out, and mucking stalls. The evening work involves bringing the horses back in from their pastures, grooming, and feeding.
All positions at Kearsarge Meadows are paid jobs and require prior similar experience with horses. Email Kimberley for more detail.
In his second show of the USDF 2010 season, which included Piper's debut at First Level, Piper earned his first qualifying scores for both Training and First Levels. He also earned five "High Score" awards, including "Highest Scoring KWPN Dutch Warmblood" of the three day show.
The USDF Region 8 show season closes mid August. So, the race is on to complete qualifications before then. Between dressage shows, Piper will also continue his show jumping career, as well. It's gonna be a busy summer!
You can keep abreast of Piper's progress on the Dressage Queen blog, a chronicle of one rider's path to the Regional Championships.
After a year of dressage qualifiers in New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, the long awaited weekend at the NEDA Fall Festival of Dressage has finally come and gone. And what a weekend it was!
Jeddien and Kimberley returned home with TWO Reserve Champion titles. The first, earned on a rainy Friday September 11th evening, was for 3rd Level Open / Professional.
The second, earned on a much brighter Sunday September 13th morning, was for the 3rd Level Freestyle / Kur. The music used was a selection of three German Folk Songs edited by Kimberley.
To read more about the creation of Jeddien's first Freestyle Kur, the season's leadup to the show, and the show itself, check out Kimberley's Dressage Queen Blog.
Loving the Mag!
After various tests, including walking barefoot in treated footing, we treated our 70x160 foot indoor arena with 2400 pounds of "Mag Flakes". Since then, our indoor arena has been 100% dust free and looking like it had been recently watered. We highly recommend this Magnesium Chloride product and would be happy to show it to any farm owners who are considering upgrading their own arenas.
Train Indoors!
Everyone easily understands how nice it is to have an indoor arena during the winter. But it's also fabulous to ride in when the bugs get bad, when it's raining cats and dogs, and when you want to ride to music. Contact Kimberley whenever you want to ride indoors at Kearsarge Meadows.

"Runaway Farm" in Warner, New Hampshire, New England, changed hands in the Spring of 2005. New owners, new farm name, new trainers, new management, and new activities... It's all very exciting for us, our clients, and the local horse community as well.
We purchased Kearsarge Meadows because it had everything we wanted and needed for our horses and equestrian pursuits.
Our horses love it here. So will yours.
