Divinity Farm is a private home stable. Anyone person knows the expense of horses, especially in this economy. Income generated from Divinity's programs goes directly into upkeep of horses, vet bills, feed & nutrition always maintaining a negative income ratio. Divinity Farm is working toward a non-profit status. The basis of our riding instruction is dressage which is the foundation of all our training. Our regular client's & Student's particularly value this fact. Our horses & ponies are specifically trained for their purpose of all programs, lessons and levels.
