"Naturally Done, Naturally Run"
Welcome to Happenstance Stables and thanks for visitng our website. Gerry and I have worked hard building our facility to offer a boarding stable that both human and equine enjoy.
We offer a lot of horse activities and take great pride in keeping it natural. We have lots of pasture and outside time for the horses on 48 acres. We have an indoor arena 72 x 170, an Equine Obstacle Course and trails. Our lesson program is offered to adults & children using one of our horses or bringing your own. We host several clinics a year by local and national clinicians that fit into our philosphy of training and working with our horses.
Natural Horsemanship to us means finding the balance. Balancing the drive and draw. Having a commited partner that wants to be with us but in turn respecting our space. Commiting to the instant release of pressure at the slightest try but also commiting to the firmness of pressure when no try is involved...finding the balance.
Take a look around our website we have lots of exciting "horse stuff" coming for 2012 and thanks for visiting.

"What can I say about Happenstance Farm & Stables except it's the place to be! The owners are caring, capable horse people that go out of their way to make sure you & your horse are comfortable, safe and have fun to boot! I can honestly say I'd not consider boarding my own horse at any other farm, and recommend all my clients, students & friends to visit in, check out the place & make it a regular place to play and book a clinic. You won't be disappointed! The farm has an emphasis on safety as well as fun all in a natural horsemanship climate! I can't wait to see what they have in store this year.....Thank you Stephanie & Gerry Phelps, Happenstance Stables....a Family fun place to be!"
