In 2004 the Dipple family took the first step to make their dream of a
premiere boarding and training facility a reality by purchasing
30 acres on Knox Farm Road in Iredell County.  That was the beginning of
three years of hard work to make Full Circle Farm.

Full Circle Farm is an absolutely Superb facility.  I've owned and boarded horses as an adult for 13 years and this is, quite simply, the finest care I have ever received for my horse.  There is never a rush or stress when dealing with the horses - consequently things are done RIGHT.

My horse was treated gently but firmly, and I've seen them treat difficult horses with endless patience, kindness and most importantly, consistency.  I received high quality custom care with fabulous communication from Rhonda and Jennie in the event they had a question about my preferences such as turnout, feed, etc.  The barn, arenas and grounds are immaculately kept, and when Rhonda tells you she'll do something, she does it - I NEVER had to worry about my horse - which is the highest compliment I can give!! 
 
Jennie is a fabulous trainer whose foundation is based on Classical Dressage, which makes Jumping easy and fun.  Her students consistently score high in the Dressage portion of an Event, because the fundamentals are taught so well.  She is kind, patient and brings humor to a lesson - which keeps this hobby fun while you grow in skill.  Even if you don't show she'll work with your goals and help you and your horse reach your highest potential.  Don't let her age fool you - she KNOWS her stuff!!

We have known Rhonda Dipple at Full Circle Farm and Jennie Dipple with FCF Combined Training Academy for almost two years now. Rhonda owns and operates Full Circle Farm. She is always pleasant, efficient and works very hard at keeping everything in great order at the farm.

Jennie has been coaching my daughter, Micilin, for almost two years. She too is punctual, efficient and most importantly, Micilin loves her. She works very hard at bringing Micilin to her full potential. Jennie is consistant with every aspect of her training and always makes safety a priority.

We have been extremely happy and satisfied with both the barn and trainer.

Full Circle Farm is a first class facility, which is extremely clean and well run. Jennie is a great teacher, very professional, and is able to teach to any level. You have all the levels at this barn and you can be as competitive as you want or not and still feel comfortable. The people are like family. The first time I came out, I liked the atmosphere. I know my horse is very content too.

Full Circle Farm is a fabulous place and has tons to offer! The farm itself is beautiful with plenty of pasture, new indoor and outdoor riding arenas with great footing, and a beautiful barn with large stalls. The horses are the priority and get excellent care, as well as special care when needed. The owners of FCF are very friendly and welcoming. If you are interested in eventing and/or learning how to ride your best, FCF is the place to be!

Jennie Dipple provides wonderful instruction to riders in varying stages of their training. She knows how to specifically explain what to do to ride and communicate better with the horse. She has helped me make major breakthroughs in my riding, both in dressage and jumping. Very importantly, Jennie ALWAYS keeps it positive regarding both horse and rider!

Finally, there is a lot going on at FCF. They are always coming up with another training avenue, ie... clinics, new one on one training techniques, trailering for cross country experience and more. I can't think of any place I'd rather be with my horse!
