Equestrian center & services
All the details of a show barn, set on a working organic farm.
In addition to a state-of-the-art, indoor riding arena, dedicated bridle trails, heated tack room and lounge, orchard grass pastures, our horses are a part of the greater cycle of our regenerative farm. Horses are fed high-quality, organic hay straight from our fields—and their compost in turn betters our lands.
Board in a serene environment, with a professional team.
We pride ourselves in running a full-service boarding and dressage training facility, with the stress-free, calm, and harmonious space our boarders—and their owners—deserve.
Private, yet close to it all.
The 400+ acres of Liberty Farms offers equestrians a serene environment to focus on their sport or leisure. But we're also located just a 40-minute drive from HITs, 2 hours from New York City, and a short jaunt to the City of Hudson.
Dressage Training
KD Dressage: Where Art Meets Science
KD Dressage's method for training horses and students brings together a knowledge of Classical Dressage, rider bio-mechanics, a horse's need for balance, straightness, and horsemanship. Our approach is systematic, very horse centered, and tailored to each individual.
We also promote creativity and make dressage fun, stress-free, and positive—even at the highest level—with an emphasis on cross training.
For riders, we focus on teaching riders equitation, or how their bodies can influence the horse.
All horses are hacked out regularly and work over ground poles—and even small jumps when appropriate. We work especially well horses whose temperaments may not tick the "normal training" box, which includes very feisty mares (of course).
We find inspiration in helping horses and riders reach their goals in a harmonious and uplifting manner—whether this be in the show ring or at home.
