Our Mission

Community and the Love of Horses

Upland Farm is the manifestation of the dreams and vision shared by Marcia Haas and Lauren Bays. We wish for a community of good people who love their horses and support each other. We aim to create a workspace fit for the avid dressage rider to focus and achieve their individual goals. We curate a culture and horse property that offers diverse riding terrain for cross training as well as unwinding after a training session. We prize our peaceful hill country setting as a sanctuary for our beloved horses and a gathering place for our community members.
