Since 1981 Amy S. Keefer and her husband, Jim, have owned and
operated Thornwood Farm, which is a full service boarding, training,
lesson, showing and sales facility located in Western Pa. at 363 Black
Road, Harrisville, Pa.
- is a full service facility that offers boarding,
lessons, and training in a program customized specially for you and
your horse. We have a 60' by 120' indoor arena, a 70' by 140' outdoor
ring and a 150' by 250' outdoor jumping field. Six fields and paddocks
allow for frequent turnout. Miles of trails are available for hacking.
- Amy S. Keefer was nationally certified by the American Riding
Instructors Association to teach Hunt Seat Equitation from Beginner
basics to Advanced horsemanship. She is an active member of the
Western Pa. Professional Horsemens' Association, serving on the
board of directors in many capacities, and frequently assisting with the
annual WPAPHA horse show. Amy has been breaking young horses for
various careers and training hunters and jumpers for 30+ years. Amy
also coaches two Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association teams -
Slippery Rock University and Clarion University.
- Thornwood Farm students and horses compete at USEF recognized
shows on the WPAPHA circuit and at local Mountaineer Hunter/Jumper
affiliated shows, and have earned many championships and year end
awards.
- Although we specialize in hunters and hunt seat equitation, all aspiring
horsepersons are welcome here to pursue their goals in whatever
discipline interests them. Amy Keefer teaches a balanced, independent
seat that is adaptable to any riding endeavor. All levels and ages of
riders are welcome, from beginners to advanced.
- Thornwood Farm also offers rehabilitation services for horses that
need customized care due to traumatic injury or experience. Ex-
racehorses, and/or horses that just need some down time from
competition are put on an individualized program that will accommodate
their special needs and bring them back to optimum health and
rideability. We combine classic methods of care with the latest holistic
techniques, such as acupuncture and massage.
- Thornwood Farm can help you take advantage of the PA Breeders
Awards program by boarding and foaling your Thoroughbred mares and
raising your foals for you. We foal sporthorse mares also, and can help
you plan your mating, raise your foal, and train it and/or you to show it
on the line.
