To anyone calling me: I am having a few voicemail issues so if you do not hear back from me within 24 hours please CALL ME BACK until you
get me to answer or email me hwoody90@gmail.com. My caller ID is not picking up all phone numbers that go to voicemail either so I can't always just call
you back based on that either. I'm not happy with my phone and I'm working on getting it fixed, sorry for this.

BOARDING at HIDDEN SPLENDOR FARM: We are offering
full care board only for your horse or pony. Your horse or pony will get GREAT CARE from us. We are living
right on the farm and taking care of all the horses and ponies ourselves. If you like Hunter
Paces and trail riding Hidden Splendor Farm is the place for you and your horse or pony. We also have trails
for those of you with driving horses or ponies and room for your cart! The farm is 167 acres with a great mixture of
hay fields and woods. We have great horse trails and in time the trails will have jumps, just like the hunter pace trails! The
farm is also directly connected to Stoney Pond State Forest with miles of horse trails. The barn has 24 large box stalls with
rubber mats and windows. I am happy to report that we will soon be installing new Promat Comfort Stall
Mats in our stalls, they are not just mats but a mattress for your horse, come see them! We also have a lot of BIG GREEN
PASTURES for plenty of turn out. We have a 153' x 72' INDOOR ARENA with lights! I no longer show so
there will not be any pressure from me for you to show but if you want to do some showing I can help or you can show on your
own. All horses under my care will be cared for just like my own horses. Stalls will be cleaned daily, they will always
have plenty of fresh water, and plenty of food. All horses and ponies will be fed based on their own needs because every
horse and pony is different. We have baled all the hay on the farm and it's GREAT horse hay! The farm is 10 miles east
of Cazenovia, 3 miles from Morrisville in the town of Nelson, about 14 miles from Canastota, and close to Hamilton. SUNY Morrisville
students I'm only 3 miles from the campus, the farm is not far from Cazenovia College or Colgate! Click on the OUR
NEW FARM page on the left to see pictures. A note to parents with kids that have a horse or pony. I will
not only take great care of your horse or pony but I will also take care of your child. I will teach your child everything
they need to know about riding and taking care of their horse or pony. If your child wants to be out on trails and you don't
want them alone I will ride with them so you don't have to worry about them. If you want to have FUN with your horse
or pony this is the place for you. Come meet my horses so you can see how well I care for horses. Open to all riding types,
english or western. TRAINING:
I am offering training on the farm. Now that I have an indoor arena and 24 stalls I can take horses
in for training. I am willing to start sane young horses. I take my time and do things slowly when working with young
unbroke horses. I will also take in horses that are further along that are ready to learn more about cross country, hills,
water crossings,galloping in open fields, and all things cross country. I've spent many years showing (both english and
western), fox hunting, and driving horses so I train with all this in mind. LESSONS: I am also offering private
or small group lessons on your horse, you may trailer in, not just for boarders. Lessons can be at Hidden Splendor Farm or
Staley Farm. At Hidden Splendor Farm I have a 153' X 72' indoor arena and miles of beautiful trails, soon they will
have jumps. I have more than 30 years of riding, training, and teaching experience to offer. If you want to be more
comfortable riding cross country at the walk, trot, canter,gallop, jumping, riding and jumping up & down hills, and riding
over uneven ground I can help. Learn how to cross water, ride on roads, jump solid fences, plus so much more. Everything
you learn riding with me translates into the Show Ring too because I teach solid equitation. I can get you to step up to a
higher level of riding that will benefit you and your horse. I will also teach you about proper conditioning for your
horse. Call or e-mail me for more details. PRIVATE HUNTER PACE RIDES: I am offering PRIVATE HUNTER PACE RIDES at Staley Farm on your own horse. Come alone or bring a group.
You can ride all the beautiful Hunter Pace Courses and JUMP as many jumps as you want to!! This is your chance
to have a private tour of the the Beautiful Hunter Pace Trails with Hunter Pace Chairman Jill Higgins. I love to have
people to ride with! My horses and I love to walk, trot, canter, gallop, and jump! This is your ride and we will be happy
to go slow or fast it's your choice! I look forward to riding with you. Please call or e-mail me for more details and
to set up a date. I offer Private Hunter Pace Rides and lessons 7 days a week. All jumps are optional.
My Background:
I am Jill Higgins the Chairman of the Tioughnioga Ruritan Hunter Paces and Onwer of Hidden Splendor Farm. I do it all for
the Hunter Paces from course designer, trail work, jump building, marking the courses, to making all the Ads and
flyers, mailing all the flyers, building and maintaining this website and so much more. I found the land with the help
of a friend and from there I bushwacked my way through the woods on my horse and in time My Husband and I cleared every
single trail and built every single jump. I designed the whole thing and keep adding to it. I have 30 plus years of riding,
training and teaching experience. Things I've done over the years include, showing both riding and driving horses, 15+
years of Fox Hunting, and breaking and training horses from the ground up both riding and driving. I have a lot of experience
and I would love to share my knowledge with you. If you want to have FUN while learning and learn so much more
than you can learn only riding in a ring I may be what you are looking for. I can get you to step up many levels in your
riding. I currnetly own 3 horses, Woody, my mare is 21 and I've owned her for 19 years, Shobi my husband's gelding is 16 and
