A
family farm
Blue Skies
of Mapleview is a limited liability corporation that shelters
a small family farm with an emphasis on natural horsemanship.
We offer a weekday morning opportunity for adult women to
re-connect with riding or begin a new relationship with horses.
The Women's Intuitive Riding is unique is this area. Please
look at the page devoted to Women's Intuitive
Riding. The
farm offers a variety of services, including boarding, training
and instruction as well as consultation. In the summer we
host day camp for beginning to intermediate riders. During
the academic year we offer after school riding lessons and
therapueutic riding sessions (see AHE article). Our ten open acres are in a
lovely setting of rolling pastures. We have two riding rings
and access to trails both in the woods and up to Maple View
Farm Dairy. Our horses and ponies are quiet, experienced
members of our farm family. |

Who
is holding the reins?
At the age
of eight, Deborah Pearson-Moyers rode a giant Palamino into
the Wisconsin woods on a family camping trip. She returned with "horse
fever" which has never been cured. She trail rode on weekends
through
middle and high school and finally in her twenties after years
of lessons,
bought her first horse, Lady of London, who she rode endlessly.
She became a
racehorse groom for pacers and trotters, worked on a Quarter horse
ranch,
and led trail rides through the mountains of Virginia. She did
find time to
graduate with honors from the University of Illinois with a counseling
degree and minor in Women's Studies and also to study Foundation
Arts and
Social Development at Emerson College in England where she met
her husband,
Peter. After teaching her own four children to ride, Blue Skies
of
Mapleview LLC was born from a request to teach others. She has
now been
teaching and learning from riding students since 1993 and leading
Women's
Intuitive Riding sessions since 2004. She began to offer summer
daycamps
in response to a request from riding parents and is happy to report
that she feels
like the luckiest woman in the world to be living her life's dream
with
horses and all that they have to offer us. |

Assistant instructor Jessica Cochran
Jessica Cochran has been a horseperson since
early childhood. She was hooked for good after falling off a "party pony" at her sixth birthday party -- she started taking lessons just a few weeks
later with a broken elbow. Since then, Jessica has trained in the
Hunter/Jumper discipline for over ten years in Virginia Beach, VA and
Washington, DC, and has also dabbled in Dressage and Western/Stock Seat.
She has taught beginner and intermediate lessons for over seven years, and
left a full-time instructing and trail guiding position in Washington,
DC in order to relocate to the Carrboro area and pursue her academic career
in Art History. Jessica's passion is imparting her love of horses and good
horsemanship to the willing, be they children or adults, beginners or rusty riders looking for a new beginning. She is very excited to now teach at
Blue Skies on Saturday mornings! |
