💙 A Message to Our Lesson Riders: You Are the Heart of Beverly 💙

As our Beverly show season becomes busier and our social feeds fill with ribbons, countdowns, and competition updates, we want to pause and speak directly to a group that is—and always will be—the backbone of Beverly: our lesson riders.

Whether you ride once a week, are working toward your first show, or simply cherish your time in the saddle with no competitive goals at all, you represent the core mission of Beverly Equestrian: providing access to horses at whatever level you seek—introductory lessons, local shows, or international competition at destination venues. Your dreams, your learning, and your relationship with horses are the foundation upon which everything else is built.

Your Program Comes First—Always

While our show offerings have grown dramatically in the past year, we have made—and continue to make—major investments specifically to keep the lesson program secure, uninterrupted, and thriving.

Expanding Support: Welcoming Coach Siobhan McBride

To support our riders even further, we’re thrilled to welcome Siobhan McBride to the coaching team.

Siobhan brings a unique and valuable background running lesson programs exactly like ours. She understands the rhythm, goals, and needs of riders who want structure, encouragement, and thoughtful progression. Her approach centers on:

• Individual goal-setting,

• Clear, achievable plans, and

• Personalized support based on where you are in your riding journey.

She is also launching a new series of coffee talks—informal, welcoming conversations where riders can ask questions, set intentions, explore next steps, or simply connect with the community.

A Dedicated Show Facility to Protect Your Riding Time

We built a completely separate, purpose-designed show facility so that lessons at the main farm remain predictable, peaceful, and insulated from the hustle of competition days. This means:

• Your lessons don’t get bumped for horse shows.

• Your arenas remain available and quiet.

• Your experience stays focused on learning, not logistics.

This separation is intentional—because your progress matters every bit as much as the competitors in the ring.

A Carefully Curated String of School Horses

Behind every great lesson is a great horse. We continue to develop and invest in a diverse string of school horses that grow with you—horses who are safe, educated, confidence-building, and appropriate for each stage of your riding. From your first trot circles to the moment you’re ready for more advanced challenges, our goal is to ensure the right horse is waiting for you.

Thank You for Riding With Us

Lesson riders form the heart of our barn family.  You inspire us to continue building a program that honors every pathway—whether it leads to your first posting trot or your first Grand Prix start.

• You don’t need show goals to belong here.

• You don’t need competitive aspirations to be taken seriously.

• And you certainly don’t need to feel overshadowed by the show calendar.

Wherever you are—brand-new to horses, returning after a break, exploring your next steps, or thriving in weekly lessons—we are here to meet you with the support, coaching, and community you deserve.

Start Where You Are. We Will Meet You There.
