Graceful Image Farm is a full service equine facility located in Chester, New Hampshire. The owners and operators, Ben and Jodi Gitschier, strive to create an environment where riders and horses of all abilities may flourish and grow with confidence and respect. Graceful Image Farm offers training to all levels of students with a strong emphasis on safety, horsemanship, and attaining personal goals. Many of our students and horses compete and ribbon at local and regional hunter, jumper, and equitation shows.

The barn boasts 19 matted box stalls, a heated tack and viewing room, a heated grain room, hot and cold running water, an indoor wash area, large all day turnouts, trails, a jumping field, a 70 x 130 indoor arena, and a 80 x 140 outdoor riding arena. We will offer lessons, showing, sales, training, summer camp, and boarding!

Board also includes daily turnout alone or in a group and access to trails, full use of indoor and outdoor riding arenas.

Lessons: We have two instructors dedicated to your success. Each lesson is modified to ensure success with each student on an individual basis. We believe that riding instruction does not begin or end with riding. Horsemanship and general horse care are fit into lessons helping students to respect and care for horses as partners. Jodi's (main Instructor) accomplishments include successfully competing in hunters, equitation, jumpers, pleasure, showmanship, dressage, and eventing. Jodi has ridden with professionals such as Janet Briggs, Dawn Dascomb, Francois Lemare De Ruffieu, Judy Westlake, Greg LaPlace, and Jamie Dee Frontiero
