Happenstance Farm is owned and operated by Head Trainer Ellen Baehr. Ellen's passion for horses started over 30 years ago and culminated with what has become known as Happenstance Farms.

Ellen Baehr has been interacting with horses for as long as she’s been able to walk. Ellen began riding and competing at the age of 4. In the decades since she’s sat in the saddle for thousands of competitions, hunts, and jumps an experience that she now applies during lessons at Happenstance Farms.

Ellen’s approach is simple and sincere for every lesson—regardless of the student’s age or ability, she encourages riders to become teammates with their horses. In doing so, riders often experience meaningful improvement that can prepare them for both serious competitions and casual rides.

Ellen has trained champion riders and horses at the local, state, and national levels.
