Juniper Knoll Farm is a full-service training facility committed to providing a structured environment and quality care to all its guests. Known for its relaxed and supportive environment, the trainers at Juniper Knoll challenge their students to be better riders for their horses. While competition is never required, all boarders and students take part in our education/training program. A program is tailored to each student's goals as they apply their skills in the Hunter/Jumper rings.

As a boarding facility we choose to maintain a small (as commercial operations go) community so as to ensure each horse guest has the attention they need and deserve. We know and care for each as if they were our own and don't want you to worry when you aren't with your horse. With no more than 17 to 20 horses in our care, we aim for quality and not quantity. Just an easy 20 minute drive from Burlington, we are located in rural Jericho, Vermont aside miles of maintained trails.
All boarders participate in our training program or work to help with horse care.
