Encouraging the Art of Natural Horsemanship on the North Shore

Cedarwood Farm is a historic 22 acre, 23 stall, equine facility located in Ipswich, Massachusetts. This small, seaside town is centrally located minutes away from many riding opportunities such as: Crane Beach, Willowdale State Forest, Myopia Hunt Club, Bradley Palmer State Park. Additionally, Cedarwood Farm is directly connected to the Essex County Trail Association (ECTA), with its miles and miles of trails.

Our lush outdoor environment includes group or individual turnout. We believe horses should be outside as much as possible, weather permitting. Coming soon will be the option of the Paddock Paradise Boarding Environment (based on Jaime Jackson’s book). This concept mimics the way horses live in the wild. It encourages more movement, resulting in better health of the horse, and providing a more stimulating environment that discourages vices.

Most importantly all horses are cared for and handled by staff who use natural principles based on horse psychology.

No matter your discipline—Eventing, Dressage, Reining, English, Western—Natural Horsemanship allows for a safe foundation. Join us at Cedarwood Farm. Your horse will thank you.
