Echo Farm

Established in 1826, Echo Farm has been a staple in the Lewisboro community for generations. Originally a dairy farm founded by the Lawrence family, it was later transformed into a horse farm by Al Ridgeway in 1959. Today, we are a thriving equestrian facility located in South Salem, NY, on the border of Ridgefield, Connecticut, offering a variety of services for horse enthusiasts of all levels.

About Us

Our farm sits on 28 open acres, providing ample space for riding lessons, horse shows, and boarding. We are a USHJA approved riding academy, welcoming riders and horse lovers alike to our family-friendly environment. Our dedicated team of trainers and staff are committed to ensuring a safe, enjoyable experience for all who enter our gates.

Services Offered

At Echo Farm, we offer a range of services to cater to the needs of horse enthusiasts. From riding lessons and horsemanship programs to boarding and leasing, we strive to provide the best possible experience for both our human and equine clients.

Our riding lessons are tailored to suit riders of all ages and skill levels, focusing on the basics and safety while promoting personal growth and development. Our qualified instructors offer one-on-one and group lessons, ensuring each rider receives the attention and guidance they need to improve their riding abilities.

Our horsemanship program is designed to instill a deep understanding and appreciation of horses in our students. This comprehensive program covers various aspects of horse care and management, equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become responsible horse owners or handlers.

For those seeking a more competitive experience, Echo Farm hosts an Interscholastic Equestrian Association (IEA) team. This team allows students to compete both locally and nationally, promoting teamwork, sportsmanship, and a passion for equestrian sports.

In addition to these services, we also offer boarding and leasing options for horse owners. Our full board package includes stall cleaning seven days a week, access to outdoor and indoor riding arenas, and the choice of on-site instructors. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable environment for both our human and equine clients.
