 About Horse Power Farm & Ann Bowie, BHSII(T)

Picture

Deep in the woods of Canterbury, Connecticut lies a quaint 9 acre farm owned & operated by Ann Bowie & her husband, Ed Latham. Over the past 12 years, Horse Power Farm has grown & developed into one of Eastern Connecticut's top cross country schooling facilities. 

From dressage & stadium jumping to cross country training, Horse Power Farm is designed to offer it all to riders and horses from elementary to training. 

In 2011, HPF began hosting a series of Eventing Derbies. The need for cross country practice is huge. These Derbies are the perfect start for the green eventer or the professional with a young horse. Never the same course twice.
