  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.
