 Lessons

A LIFETIME EDUCATOR, LEE CONE, HAS BROUGHT HUNDREDS of STUDENTS UP THROUGH THE RANKS, HELPING THEM ACHIEVE THEIR PERSONAL GOALS AND RIDE WITH CONFIDENCE TO IMPRESSIVE WINS ON THE LOCAL AND “A” SHOW CIRCUITS. ARDEN CONE, OFFICIALLY HER FATHER’S LONGEST-SERVING STUDENT, IS ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AS ASSISTANT TRAINER.

LESSONS AT WINDBROOK FARM ARE TAILORED TO FIT YOUR NEEDS. MAYBE YOUR GOAL IS TO show FOR THE FIRST TIME; MAYBE IT’S TO QUALIFY FOR THE EQUITATION FINALS. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR ASPIRATIONS ARE, WE’LL GET YOU THERE, SAFELY AND CONFIDENTLY. 

Training

AMANDA CONE, who started with a traditional hunter/ jumper education, has found new resources in another vein of training. SHE TAKES FROM THE NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP MASTERS—BUCK BRANNAMAN, RAY HUNT, TOM DORRANCE—AND ADDS THEIR PHILOSOPHIES INTO THE MAKING OF SOFT and RESPONSIVE HORSES. UNDER LEE AND AMANDA’S TUTELAGE, ARDEN HAS BROKEN AND TRAINED HORSES FOR YEARS.

AS WINDBROOK FARM’S RIDER, ARDEN OFFERS VARIOUS TRAINING PACKAGES TO PREPARE YOUR MOUNT FOR YOU. (WHETHER THE GOAL FOR YOUR MOUNT IS TO CROSS A CREEK ON A TRAIL RIDE, DO FLYING CHANGES, OR PUT IN A FLAWLESS ROUND AT THE HUNTER DERBY—THAT’S UP TO YOU!) WE OFFER FULL TRAINING BOARD AS WELL AS RIDES ON A “PER-RIDE” BASIS.
