Dallas Todd Slusher has been training both horses and riders for over twenty years using natural horsemanship techniques. Our farm offers individual horsemanship training and group workshops as well as colt-starting and horse training.
Todd offers both one-on-one training as well as group events from beginning riders to advanced horsemanship clinics.
Farm visits are a new development at our farm. We can tailor your visit to focus on horses, farm operations, a combination of both, and time to unwind and explore our farm on your own.

Jessica Slusher manages most farm operations including poultry and produce. Three Hill Farm will apply for certification as a USDA Organic farm in 2020 and has used organic farming practices since 2016.
Jessica did not start out to become a wood craftsman but as Todd and Jessica worked to restore the once abandoned Three Hill Farm to its past rustic glory, she became a proficient woodworker. Due to the time constraints of farm operations, the workshop is only open from November through February.
