Triple J Farm is located in Bowdoin, Maine and is owned and operated by Jim and Jan Marconi. The farm is situated on approx 50 acres comprised of pasture, woods and trails. We offer boarding, horsemanship programs for local youth, a B&B service for equestrians traveling through with their horses as well as primative camping/trail riding with your horse and day trail riding. We also are the `Home of Healing Horses` which is an equine facilitated therapy program.
The trails are part of a multi-use trail system - hiking, ATV, snowmobile and equestrians. Sharing the trails has never been a problem as we have all maintained a great relationship and respect for each other. The terrain varies ... some a bit rocky, others with water obstacles .. shoes are highly recommended. By utilizing all the trails in the area, we have many, many miles of trails available to explore.
Our primitive camping area ...a small, intimate camping area with turnouts for your horses .. a place away from all the hub-bub. We also have the ability to offer hookups with water and electric (and WiFi) by the farm itself. Our B&B is becoming quite popular and we have several `regular` guests each year - either passing through or just visiting for a couple days of trail riding.
Boots or shoes are highly recommended for this ride.
Please contact Jim or Jan at (207) 666 3097 or [email protected] for camping and stall information. You can also check them out on the web at: triplejhorsefarm.com.
