Rhapsody Hill Farm, located in Upton, Massachusetts is a family-run farm owned by Jane Rizzitano, M.Ed., M.A. and Dave Thakar. Rhapsody Hill Farm takes great pride in maintaining a professional, yet fun atmosphere, teaching horsemanship, sportsmanship, and safe riding skills. Students ride for pleasure or to show. We work hard to instill a sense of team unity in all our students and encourage them to support each other at shows and during lessons on the farm.

RHF specializes in providing each student the individualized attention that he or she needs while moving each student forward. Our lesson program runs year-round in our outdoor lighted riding ring, weather permitting. We offer English and Western lessons along with a variety of clinics for beginner through advanced riders age six and up. We also enjoy the occasional ride in the Upton State Forest only with our lesson students.

Our Summer & Vacation Horsemanship Programs offer something for everyone and run 4 days a week. Our students take an hour-long lesson each day and actively learn about general horse care, related vocabulary, horse health, and equipment. During each session students participate in demonstrations, lessons, games, as well as arts and crafts. They may clip and bathe the horses as well! This program is a great introduction to horses and horsemanship for young riders, and gives them an idea of the work involved in learning to ride and caring for horses.

Check out our Services page for more information on other services we offer including truck-in lessons, leases, boarding, gift certificates, and Girl/Boy Scout badges.

We welcome visitors by appointment and look forward to meeting you!

"Rhapsody Hill Farm is one of Central Massachusetts' best kept secrets. Don't let the facility size fool you, a well oiled machine runs here. Lessons for both youth and adult riders are professionally conducted enabling the rider to reach his or her full potential. Boarding services are top notch. Fresh grain, quality hay, large clean box stalls and multiple turnouts allows horses to live and grow in a no stress environment. A show calendar where participation is encouraged with an eye towards affordability and fun. I highly recommend Rhapsody Hill Farm."
