Hidden Valley Farm

Hidden Valley Farm is a hunter/jumper boarding and training facility in Inman, South Carolina, less than 20 minutes from Tryon International Equestrian Center. Founded by owner and trainer Amelia Nowicki, the farm emphasizes classic equitation, strong riding foundations, and putting the horse first. Nowicki, who holds a degree in Equine Science from the University of Georgia, also coaches the Converse University Equestrian Team.

The farm offers boarding, personalized training, and riding lessons for horse-and-rider pairs with varied goals. Instruction ranges from cross-rails to advanced equitation and jumper work. Horse care includes regularly scheduled Bemer, chiropractic, and acupuncture services, veterinary and farrier support, and nightly 10 p.m. checks by on-site staff.

Set on 20 acres, the facility has 12 stalls, 10 grass paddocks, a 150-by-250-foot outdoor arena with custom all-weather jumps, grass riding fields, and a trail with pond access. Amenities include a temperature-controlled rider lounge, secure tack room, hot and cold wash racks, and dedicated feed and hay storage.
