LEADERSHIP, TRUST, AND THE ART OF RIDING

Riding is more than a sport, it’s a lifestyle; a partnership between self and nature on the path to personal discovery. With two seasons to enjoy (fall and spring), riders of all experience levels train five days a week through our partnership with Deepwood Farm, just minutes from campus. Whether you’re saddling up for the first time or refining your seat in dressage, you’ll find a program grounded in trust, skill, and connection.

FACILITIES & PARTNERSHIP

Gould Academy partners with Deepwood Farm, a local training facility with indoor and outdoor arenas, access to wooded trails, and a stable of well-schooled horses suited to both beginners and advanced riders.

CRAFTED THROUGH CARE

Grounded in Equestrian Tradition

Gould riders train in the classical foundations of Dressage while also gaining hands-on experience in grooming, saddling, equipment care, and stable safety. Trail rides through the western Maine countryside reinforce the relationship between rider and horse, deepening the rider’s balance, confidence, and control in real-world settings.
