I'm so glad you are here!

My name is Josie Freeman, and I’m the owner and instructor at Faithful Farms. I have 20+ years of equine experience. I started in a lesson program at 7, competed in three-day eventing from 8th grade to my senior year of high school, and went on to college to learn more about horses! I attended Asbury University in Lexington, KY where I majored in Equine Studies (& Social Work) with an emphasis in equine assisted activities. Throughout my time at school, I was a member and co-captain of the Hunter/Jumper team, a teaching assistant for our riding classes, and had the privilege of competing at the Retired Racehorse Project for 3 consecutive years (Ranch riding, Dressage, and Competitive Trail). I also worked as a seasonal employee at the Kentucky Horse Park Breeds Barn and volunteered at several equine therapy facilities. Since graduating, I have obtained my Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship (PATH) certification and currently serve as the Barn Manager at Saddle Up! I have also completed the TN Master Horse program, a three-day myofascial release clinic for horses, and constantly seek ways to continue my education.

My Approach

I believe horses are incredible teachers. Every time I think I’ve learned it all, horses find a way to keep me humble, continuously motivating me to learn and grow for their benefit. My lesson program is unique in its focus on developing horsemanship skills in conjunction with riding. Horses are a wonderful tool for learning how to be good stewards. They teach responsibility, perseverance, self-awareness, grit, grace, and so much more! My mission is to cultivate a lesson program that applies these traits and facilitates a positive learning environment. I aim to help each rider build the confidence they need to achieve their horsey goals, whether that be to have their own horse one day, go on a horseback safari, or learn a new hobby. I love sharing my passion for horses through the discovery of joy horses can bring and by creating a supportive environment that encourages rider growth and independence.
