Welcome to Not So Shady Acres...


 Located in beautiful Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. We are close to Penn National & Casino, Hershey, Harrisburg, Grantville, Lebanon, Palmyra, and surrounding areas of Central PA. Our small 8 acre farm
is the perfect place for our family, a dream come true for us!

We offer horse back riding lessons for the beginner on up, horse boarding, horse training, and more. We specialize in helping beginners, children, and adults form the correct riding position, good horsemanship, and correct riding techniques in English, Western, Dressage, and Jumping. We follow the Dressage Training Pyramid and Pony Club standards with our teaching methods for both riding and horse management.  We also have retired racehorses (OTTB) and offer board, lay ups, and retraining for their new careers while they prepare for new homes!  Our focus is on balance and safety, horsemanship, and having fun with your horse or ours.

Instructor's passion is dressage but our riders enjoy hunter, jumper, eventing, dressage, and trail riding too! Not So Shady Acres offers a relaxed and low key atmosphere, making it a great family friendly stable in the Central Pa area.
