reunionfarmplympton.com The lesson program fosters clean communications between horse and handler for riders of all levels and abilities.

Reunion Farm is a premiere hunter-jumper equine facility located on the south shore of Massachusetts that offers lessons, boarding, horse show coaching, training, sales and much more! Reunion Farm is family owned and operated by Geraldine and Macaela Burnet, 4th and 5th generation horsewomen with a wide variety and depth of experience. Our foremost goal is to safely facilitate each individual client’s ongoing education in the “ way of the horse.”
What sets Reunion Farm apart from other supreme equine facilities is our ability to guide young prospects in the process of maturing from the hunter breeding in-hand, to the performance ring, with their healthy, happy, hard-working attitude in tact. Reunion Farm has brought home USHJA Zone 1 Horse of the Year Championships for the past several years. Reunion Farm is conveniently located in the center of Plympton, Massachusetts within a short distance to Route 3, Route 44 as well as Route 495. We offer a state of the art facility that includes a lighted outdoor arena, large indoor arena, round pen, two viewing rooms as well as group and individual turnout.

Ask Dr. Holly Helbig what she worries most about for the future of the sport, and her answer isn’t about judging systems, prize money, or even veterinary shortages. It’s about kids.

“We’ve done this to them,” she said during a recent Plaidcast In Person event. “We’ve tacked up for them, been their grooms, enabled them. They aren’t getting the hours it takes to build intuition around horses.”

That loss of hands-on time—the small, daily habits that teach empathy and awareness—has become one of Helbig’s biggest concerns. And as both a veterinarian and professional trainer, she’s seen how taking those opportunities away doesn’t just change young riders; it changes the horses too.

Helbig describes herself as a “horse-crazy girl, not from a horse family.” She didn’t grow up surrounded by resources, but she found a way to make it work. “My parents went through bankruptcy,” she said. “Being a kid, not coming from a ton of money, I had to be scrappy.”

That scrappiness, she believes, is part of what shaped her success. “I didn’t have the money to pay a braider or a bunch of grooms,” she said. “You just jump in and do what you have to do. At the end of the day, I wouldn’t trade it. My relationship with that horse was stronger because of all the time I spent with him.”

Today, she worries that many young riders aren’t getting those same opportunities. “I think we’ve created a generation that can ride beautifully,” she said, “but hasn’t had the chance to really know horses.”

In her own training program, Helbig made sure her students stayed involved in every aspect of horse care. “My kids tacked for themselves at the horse show,” she said. “We had grooms, but they tacked for themselves.”

When something medical came up, she used it as a teaching moment. “Whenever anything happened in the barn, I’d scoop all the kids up and say, ‘Come look at this. What is it? Look at this ultrasound. Let’s look at this x-ray together.’”

Those experiences, she said, taught her students to see horses as living, breathing partners—not just show animals. “They learned to pay attention, to notice things, and to ask questions. That’s what builds confidence.”
