About Us

Founded on the values of discipline and devotion, Carousel Farm began as a small family stable with a singular vision: to honor the timeless art of horsemanship. Beginning in 2020, we have grown into a premier destination for hunter/jumper excellence with an incredible focus on kids as young as three years old. Our program is designed to not only learn how to ride safely and correctly but, more importantly, how to care for their ponies outside the ring.

Christina Daigle, the head trainer and owner, has a background of traveling the AA show circuit with elite jumper riders, to working with a veterinarian sports medicine practice. She has continuously found herself teaching riding lessons and connecting with her students.

 

She recognizes that all of these roles have given her a standout approach for bringing a student up the ranks. She has bought and sold wonderful ponies and has had a significant niche for matching students to the perfect animal with great success. Her passion has always been working with ponies, with an innate ability to truly understand the animal’s needs.

The Story Behind the name

Our name honors Christina's first horse, Carousel, who made her fall in love with horses. That name has always stuck with her. Today, the name Carousel Farm is the perfect visual of a lesson of pony kids all riding around the ring at the same time. Going around and around like all of the ponies on the ride!
