Customize a Retreat, Workshop, Clinic

At Pine Knoll Farm, we specialize in customizing experiences that transform lives.

One of these experiences was featured in “Amanda’s Story: A New York Girl, a Pintaloosa Mare and a Life-Changing Trip to Kentucky” on page 72 of  the Spring 2025 edition of the Kentucky Equestrian Directory. As a teacher, Amanda Ferrara had a unique opportunity to bring her mare Mango to Pine Knoll Farm for the summer. Over the course of a few weeks, Amanda and Mango worked with Gillian Vallis (owner of Pine Knoll Farm) and Shelbie Fredenhagen (trainer based at Pine Knoll Farm in the summer). Be sure to read the article, but the gist of it is:

A year ago, she (Mango) was nervous to be handled, scared to be in a ring, had minimal brakes or steering and was consistently tense. Now, she is happy and relaxed. She has become very affectionate and actively tries to please, while confidently expressing her opinions. In short, I get her and she gets me.
