FULL MOON EQUESTRIAN
Full Moon Equestrian is a multi-discipline riding and horsemanship program, specializing in proper biomechanics and true connection. We teach formal dressage, show jumping, and ride for fun and on trails! Find us in Leicester, NC just 15 minutes from Asheville and Canton, at Blackberry Stables. Join us for horseback riding lessons, summer camp, boarding, training, showing, sales, and clinics. We have a herd of wonderful lesson horses available and invite you to trailer in.
integrity
We take what we do seriously and give 100% to our team. All of our horses receive routine body work, chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, and maintenance as needed. We take pride in our work, our farm, our instruction, our successes, and our teammates.
what's
important
community
Community is the heart of everything we do. We value each individual and recognize their strengths. Part of what keeps us showing up every day is the community and relationships we have built. Kids, teens, adults, and barn parents can all find acceptance, encouragement, and camaraderie.
joy
We bring joy and play to our work every day. Chores, lessons, and time on the farm are made more fun with friendship and laughter. We try not to ever take ourselves too seriously.
gratitude
We never take for granted that these magical creatures allow us to sit on their backs and direct them where to go. We are grateful for laughter, movement, climbing the mountains, walking and racing; shared connection and mindful partnership with our equines.
"My 11 year old goddaughter has been riding here for several months (after starting elsewhere) and I’ve watched her confidence, skill and connection with horses grow so much! It’s such a safe, positive environment. It’s a great place for adult riders too."
"Frances is super knowledgeable and I love watching her interact with her students at local shows. Some trainers can be very demanding but Frances seems so encouraging and wants her students to learn true horsemanship. Her horses always look great too! I’m thrilled that her program is so successful; well deserved!"
what our Community says:
"It is so empowering to join a group of like-minded adults who can have fun and enjoy these wonderful animals together. I am able to learn and grow so much in my riding, as well as have a safe place to connect and grow emotionally, and channel my inner silly horse girl . Nowhere else has felt so fun and safe as an adult rider to return to riding."
