Peaceful Woods Farm

Learn to ride the natural way!

My name is Maren Milton, owner here at Peaceful Woods Farm, LLC, our little farm in the woods in rural Georgetown, Delaware. It may be a small farm, but we are very serious about our commitment to natural horsemanship training. I grew up in Spain, learning to ride from a classically trained retired Spanish mounted military officer at a Spanish “picadero”. There have been many tough horses in my life, but they have taught me how to ride properly and correctly, and it was an excellent foundation for me. However, I learned nothing about partnership! Fast forward to when I finally got my own horse as an adult rider. I turned to Natural Horsemanship for help and learned all about horse psychology and relationship-based horsemanship from many different sources. Over the past two decades I have dedicated myself to understanding the psychology of horses. I’ve studied with masters such as Pat Parelli, Buck Brannaman, Craig Cameron, and many others. I’ve been exploring and educating myself over the years on how to achieve getting horses to REALLY love being with you. What a difference in my mindset and theirs! There is no end to the learning process. Now I’m anxious to share this knowledge and these training techniques with YOU! Have you ever heard the statement “There’s nothing natural about horsemanship?” That’s why I’m here to help! If you’re having difficulties with your horse, it’s natural! We have all been there, and I can help you!

Please feel free to contact me at Peaceful Woods Farm to schedule an appointment for a free consultation or to assess your horse for training. I call my training “Peaceful Ride Horsemanship” because I believe it is everyone’s goal to have a peaceful relationship with their horse whether to ride or just be together in harmony.

What Our Clients Say

Here’s how our services have made a difference.
"Maren Milton is fantastic! I'm so glad I found an equestrian trainer that teaches holistically. Her method of teaching makes me really understand horses and reduces fear and anxiety around tacking and riding. If you want to truly LEARN every aspect of horsemanship, not just learn to sit on a saddle, Maren Milton's Peaceful Woods Farm is THE place to go!!! I recommend her to all of my friends. Every lesson I feel like I'm an Avatar learning the ways of the forest!!"
"Ms. Maren brought Winter the pony (plus her own wheelbarrow and shovel!) to our home for our 5 year olds birthday party. Each child at the party got several rides and everyone had so much fun. It made the party special for a very reasonable price. Very very happy with our experience and would recommend her to anyone."



"Mrs. Maren is the sweetest, most patient woman I’ve ever met. My daughter has had a love for horses since before she could talk. Finally we found Mrs. Maren and couldn’t be happier with the services we were provided. We will certainly visiting regularly."
