High School Farm

Welcome to High School Farm!

High School Farm is a private dressage training facility located in the beautiful Santa Cruz County, CA foothills.

Resident trainer, Michael Pineo, is a USDF Gold Medal rider and International Dressage Riders Club member who has started and produced numerous successful FEI level horses.

We proudly offer fine riding horses for sale, and have placed outstanding dressage mounts with clients across the United States and Internationally.

Today, we are pleased to present quality horses ranging from Training/1st level to confirmed Grand Prix partners.

Mike also accepts a select number of horses for dressage training including stallions.

High School Farm has been designed with the health, well-being and safety of the horse and rider in mind, and we enjoy an exceptional record of safety and soundness.
