Since childhood, I have dreamed of operating a riding school that follows the time tested principles and traditions of the Old School. Willbrook Farm Equestrian Center in Plainfield, NH is working with the Riding Refinery to lay the foundation necessary for a riding school based in New England. However at this point in time, it is not possible to run a physical riding school to teach riders and train horses in person. In the mean time, the miracle of modern internet video conferencing technologies can support the existence of a remote riding school designed to share the knowledge of the Old School with modern riders and horse owners. We aim to help rider's and their horses overcome their training struggles, make daily progress, reach their maximum athletic potential, and live long, healthy, and full life.
We welcome all who are interested in transforming their riding and the lives of their horses join us on this journey of equestrian education using remote learning technologies.

On-line Coaching, Virtual Lessons, Live Clinic Events, & In Person Lessons
In this new modern era, conducting traditional in person lessons and live events has become increasingly difficult. Fortunately modern technology has also provided a solution.
We can now provide one-on-one video coaching and virtual riding lessons.
These services can include zoom video calls to discuss training issues and/or review videos you have taken of your own riding sessions. If you have live streaming video coaching technology such as PivoPod, SoloShot, Pixeo, or Swivl, live remote video lessons may be available. Contact for more information.
The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart. Proverbs 17:3
As fire refines precious metals by removing impurities, so too does the trainer refine the horse by daily gymnastic work in the arena.
The time tested gymnastic training process of the Old School improves the horse by imparting mobility to joints, strength to muscles, and refinement to the intellect.
