Shimmering Moon Farm, Emmett

Everything from Arabian sport horses to shetland sheep roams the grounds of Shimmering Moon Farm, where breeders and trainers raise a whole herd of animals fit for English, western, eventing, and the simple pleasures of an afternoon trot. At the farm's outdoor ring, instructors teach equestrian basics—such as grooming, tacking, and English and Western riding techniques—during private lessons, progressing at each rider’s pace and focusing on safety to keep students from getting tangled in the reins.
