Windrush Hill Farm

Horses at Windrush Hill

Windrush Hill Farm raises and trains performance horses for dressage, competitive trail, reining and ranch work.  We enjoy working with novice and recreational riders. We strive to develop an all around horse that can go to the arena, go for a Sunday trail ride, and do ranch work.  We want a horse that understands his job, has confidence and trusts his rider.

We are happy to give references, give a farm tour and encourage clients to come work with their horse in training.
