Spring Creek Farm offers a lesson program through its on site riding school, Carlisle Academy Integrative Equine Therapy & Sports. Recreational and therapeutic lessons emphasize safety and fun in a high-quality inclusive learning environment, helping students learn and grow while engaging in a positive partnership with horses. Carlisle Academy also hosts special clinics and jump schoolings throughout the season.

Dressage Lessons with Jackie Smith

In addition to Carlisle Academy's teaching staff, boarders have access to the instructing talent of Jackie Smith of Lyman, Maine for ongoing lessons to boarders and outside students. Twenty-five years of experience and dedication have made Jackie into an FEI level rider and trainer with achievements including bronze, silver, and gold medals from the United States Dressage Federation and competing at the very highest level of the sport, Grand Prix. Jackie enjoys working with riders and horses of all levels, but particularly likes helping committed riders who want to develop their dressage skills.
