Pennsylvania Riding Academy

Introducing our newest prospect, Concertina! Absolutely lovely 2023 pure Andalusian mare with clear FEI potential. Powerful hind end, great hind leg, smart and eager to please. And all in a small package( +/- 15hh) though you wouldn't guess it from how she fills up the leg. Forward and responsive but not hot, very trainable. Balanced and naturally uphill, she will excel at upper level work in the future. Vetted with clean x rays. Simple care, loves people. Video available on request. Serious inquiries welcome, option to stay in training. Email: [email protected]

Beginning in August, we have an opening for a horse in training at our Pennsylvania Riding Academy at Lost Hollow Farm in Dillsburg, PA.

Paul and Rose have each dedicated their lives to dressage education and sharing it with riders. We have openings for ship-in lessons here at the farm, and if you haven't seen it, visit our website to check out Paul's history of dressage lecture videos!

Rose is now offering private pilates training for dressage riders here at the farm, tailored to each rider's unique needs. And last but not at all least, we have an upcoming opening for a horse in training. Contact us via PM or email for more information.

We are pleased to share a unique educational opportunity to view a series of video lectures by Paul on the four major riding schools of the world, their history and relevance. Each video comprises many hours of research and draws upon countless historical sources as well as Paul’s own experience.

These videos were previously only available for private viewing at our farm, and as part of our internship educational program. We are pleased to offer them online for the first time.

Additionally available now for streaming is Paul’s beautiful video The Lost Quixotes, which includes footage of his groundbreaking force-plate work with Dr. Hilary Clayton, demonstrations of exercises with his own horses, and a thought-provoking interview with a wild horse and horse behavior expert.

We were at a clinic recently and Paul's work in the early 2000's with Dr. Hilary Clayton came up in discussion. It became a great article in USDF Connection and of course the basis of his book, Search for Collection.
