Welcome to If Only Farm Equestrian Center!

​If Only Farm has a number of wonderful, well-trained lesson horses and ponies for beginner to advanced lessons. Our facility includes indoor and outdoor riding rings, a three-acre riding field with jumps, two boarding barns with box stalls, and numerous turn-out paddocks and pastures. 

Since 1979 If Only Farm has offered quality boarding, professional training for horse and rider, and has hosted many shows and clinics for riders of all ages. We are located in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of central New York State, just minutes northeast of Ithaca, NY, Cornell University and Ithaca College.

​Closeness, friendship, affection - keeping your own horse means all of these things.

Bobbie Collyer
January 9, 1931 - November 4, 2025
We are sad to share that long time friend of the farm Bobbie Collyer passed away on November 4, 2025. Bobbie was one among If Only Farm's original boarders and is the reason Tucker, now one of our most beloved lesson horses, came to the farm. Bobbie was a riding companion and mentor to countless equestrians of all ages at If Only and she will be dearly missed. Read Bobbie's obituary.
