About Tom Pompei Licensed 3 Star Parelli Professional
Our Mission
The mission of H&P Equestrian Farm is rooted in the principles of Parelli Natural Horsemanship, focusing on the relationship between the human and the horse rather than just technical performance.
Our History
H&P Equestrian Farm was founded in 2016 when Tom Pompei and Mike Herman purchased the property in Centerville, Ohio.
Establishment:
The facility was specifically envisioned as a "Parelli HorsePlay Education Vacation Destination," a title reflecting its dual role as a high-level training site and a retreat for horse enthusiasts.
Expansion:
Since its founding, the farm has become a key regional hub for Parelli Natural Horsemanship, hosting multi-day focus clinics led by Tom Pompei, a Licensed 3* Parelli Professional.
Operational Cycle:
To maintain year-round education, the farm established a seasonal rhythm, operating in Ohio from mid-April through November and shifting clinic activities to Southwest Florida during the winter months.

Testimonials for Tom Pompei Licensed 3 Star Parelli Professional
Suzanne Ruehr
On my first ride of the Spring I had a bad accident on Brandy. She was prancing and jigging on the trail and I said to my friend we need to go back as I can't seem to settle her. We were on our way back to the barn when she blew up and I then woke up in the ambulance. A month later we went to Tom's to see if we could find my confidence and to find a plan. Tom worked with her and did wonders with her and for Brandy and me. He told me different things to do to help her not feel trapped in the front, especially not to pull to stop her. He is a real tribute to your instructor program.

Tom is an amazing communicator; clear and concise. I am an event rider, and have worked with the eventing elite. Most are excellent teachers and coaches, but Tom is more effective.
Valerie Carlson
Thanks, Tom, for a fantastic clinic and your help and guidance in getting me through the Level One assessment. Your teaching style makes it so fun to learn, and Fox and I are looking forward to your Level 2 clinic in September!
