About Us

Welcome to Chase Farms Riding Academy, a family friendly equestrian facility located on 31 picturesque acres in Hollis, New Hampshire.

At Chase Farms, riding lessons are at the heart of what we do. We welcome riders starting at just two years old through adults of all ages and experience levels. We specialize in English riding instruction and offer a large selection of experienced lesson horses and multiple riding instructors, allowing us to provide a program that meets the needs and goals of each individual rider.

Whether it’s a child getting on a horse for the very first time, a new rider discovering a love of horses, or an experienced equestrian looking to continue developing their skills, our goal is to help every rider learn, grow and build confidence in a safe, supportive and fun environment.

With one of the largest and most successful lesson programs in the area, riders can progress at their own pace and choose how far they would like to take their riding. For those interested in competition, Chase Farms offers Academy and Show Team opportunities from the local level through national and world championship competition. Best of all, riders can experience the excitement of horse showing without having to own their own horse.

Beyond weekly riding lessons, Chase Farms offers year round camps, trail rides, birthday parties and other opportunities for children and adults to enjoy horses and experience life at the farm.

Our year round facility offers a comfortable and welcoming environment for riders and families, featuring a large indoor riding arena, outdoor riding arenas, heated and air conditioned areas, a viewing lounge, kids’ lounge, locker rooms, multiple tack rooms, wash racks and Wi-Fi.

Whether you’re looking for your child’s very first riding experience, beginning lessons yourself, or continuing your equestrian journey, there’s a place for you at Chase Farms.

Riding Lessons
6403436921902246360.jpeg

Chase Farms offers year round English riding lessons specializing in Saddleseat and Hunt Seat for riders of all ages and experience levels. No previous horse experience is necessary, and you do not need to own or lease a horse to participate in our lesson program.

One of the strengths of our program is our large and diverse selection of well trained lesson horses and our team of experienced riding instructors. Riders are thoughtfully matched with horses appropriate for their age, ability and current stage of learning. As their skills and confidence grow, riders have the opportunity to progress to different horses that offer new experiences and challenges. Each horse has something different to teach, allowing our riders to continue developing their skills as they advance through the program.

For our youngest riders, our Tiny Tot program introduces children beginning at age two to horses and riding in an age appropriate setting. We also offer Mommy & Me lessons, as well as private, semi-private and group instruction for children and adults.

Our monthly tuition program is our best value for riders who want to ride consistently. Tuition includes one lesson each week and reserves the same day, time and instructor for the month, providing consistency while offering a lower per lesson rate than our à la carte option. À la carte lessons are also available for riders who prefer the flexibility of scheduling individual lessons.

We make managing your riding schedule easy, too! Our convenient online system can be accessed anytime from your phone, tablet or computer, allowing clients to book and reschedule lessons, purchase tuition and individual lessons, and manage their riding schedule all in one place. Riders and families receive lesson status notifications, important updates, monthly happenings, special promotions and other helpful information by email and text, so you’re always connected with what’s happening at the farm. And when you prefer to speak with someone directly, our customer service number is available to help with questions and scheduling.

Our lesson program is designed to offer something for everyone—from a child experiencing horses for the first time, to an adult fulfilling a lifelong dream of learning to ride, to an experienced rider looking to further their education.

For current lesson options, tuition information, policies and availability, please contact Chase Farms.
