Our Training
Expanding Your Horse’s Potential
Our training program is designed to maximize the potential of every horse's natural talents. From young horses getting ready to be saddled and ridden to those being prepared to be trail riding companions, we look forward to assisting you. The trainers at Windswept Acres will also work with those horses requiring re-schooling and show horses in the need of some destressing. We implement a methodical approach, gently challenging the horse to reach his potential. Training is available for all styles of English riding as well as for some styles of Western riding.
Our facility includes a round pen, a large arena with a variety of jumps designed to despook horses, a dressage ring, trails and cross country jumps. We also have access to water for horses who have a fear of this natural obstacle.
