Alicia Odell - Farm Manager

Alicia stepped into the Farm Manager position in the winter/spring of 2026, following a decade of service as the Assistant Farm Manager. Since 2016, she worked closely alongside Margaret Bojanowski, helping to shape the farm’s programs and community while steadily growing into a leadership role. Today, Alicia oversees daily farm operations, runs the lesson program, and coaches lower-level eventing with a thoughtful and individualized approach grounded in a strong dressage foundation, crucial to finding success in jumping. She remains committed to her own continued education in dressage, jumping, and equine health.

Alicia’s connection to the farm began long before her professional career. A Middlebury native, she grew up just 10 minutes away but didn’t discover horses until she was 16. She first arrived at Eddy Farm through the Counseling Services of Addison County (CSAC) program. She was initially reluctant and unsure of what to expect. That quickly changed the moment she put her foot in the stirrup for the first time. From that day forward, she was hooked.  

What began as an unexpected introduction became a lifelong passion and purpose. Alicia now takes pride in sharing the transformative power of horses and the welcoming spirit of Eddy Farm with riders and horse owners of all ages and backgrounds. She is especially passionate about creating opportunities for growth and confidence through riding. 

Looking ahead, Alicia is excited to continue building on the farm’s strong foundation by expanding the farm’s riding programs, developing participants for local schooling shows, and creating new opportunities for the community to engage with the farm in meaningful ways.
