Testimonials
Cayleigh Coppola, age 10
I've been riding with Meredith and Dylan Philipps for two years now. Every lesson that I have there helps me grow as a rider, and they're fun. They challenge you, but make sure that the experience is exciting for you. Thanks to them and their help, I have grown massively as a rider and am grateful for their guidance.

My daughter has ridden for years at New Beginnings Farm. The instructors are a dynamic mother/daughter duo who specialize in Dressage and Eventing, but are diverse enough in their knowledge to teach basics on games, western riding and barrel racing as desired. They have kind, appropriate horses and provide a safe, comprehensive learning environment for the earliest beginner, progressing to aggressive training for competition.
Alys Protzman
I met Dylan and Meredith at an Eno Triangle Pony Club event. They are both incredibly kind, knowledgeable and welcoming (!!) horse lovers. I was really impressed by Dylan who looks you in the eye and speaks with honestly and clarity whether on or off the saddle. I've taken a number of lessons with Dylan on some of their horses whom I love and would feel comfortable putting my own children on. Their barn is inviting, very well maintained and set on a beautiful piece of land in Chatham County right off of 64. I highly recommend lessons for children or adults at New Beginnings Farm.
