We offer quality riding instruction in a low stress enjoyable setting.

During the summer we run several weeks of summer day camp along with attending a variety of shows and events. When it gets colder we have winter riding teams (IEA and NCAEL) for juniors and adults.

And we offer full board and training for our equine family members.

Testimonials

“We love Willowbend! Laura and Emily have the knowledge and know-how with a great sense of humor - just what every trainer needs....My daughter and I have very fond memories of Willowbend!”

Andrea Maynard Danielsstudent

“This barn was practically where I grew up. I've gained incredible experience with Laura & Emily. The barn is a family and no one feels inferior or left out. Everyone works together, both at home and out at show grounds. You never feel alone and the atmosphere here is what I look for in any barn I look at. I even chose my college barn because of the similarity. Definitely recommend! Willowbend will always be my family.”
