Amy Neifert and Page Champion love to share their
appreciation for horses and all styles of riding and driving with students…younger
to older, inexperienced to experienced, timid to confident…lessons at Braeburn
are tailored to each individual student’s needs.

Amy Neifert grew up surrounded by Morgan horses on her
family’s Icestone Farm in Pennsylvania. She trained and instructed for Sebring

and world titles both under saddle and in harness. Amy had great success with
well-known show stars like Eminence Front, Rapidan Georgian, Smithshire Larry

signature style is a positive, can-do approach to both horse and rider.
