“I’ve been doing business with Ellen for over 15 years, buying and selling horses. Ellen always represents the horses fairly and gives you a complete assessment of the horse and their capability so we have a proper fit for the horse - Lisa W."

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—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 a teammate with their horse. In doing so, riders often experience meaningful improvement that can prepare them for both serious competitions or casual rides. Ellen has trained champion riders and horses at the local, state and national levels.
