open floor plan main level. Property features a nice rolling terrain and two creeks that run through it, along with a small pond to attract the deer, grouse, turkey and other wildlife.

WELCOME TO WILDWIND

HERD REDUCTION SALE! If you are looking for a reliable horse or pony for a beginner or show student, we have a variety of seasoned school and show horses and ponies for sale. While our horses would make great Hunter/Jumpers, they will do wonderfully in any discipline. No, we are not going out of business, but with new boarders coming in, it’s time to reduce the size of our herd.

Wildwind Equestrian is pleased to welcome Alison Bishop to our team. Alison has over 30 years of experience training and instructing Hunter/Jumper, Saddleseat and Western. She has competed on and taken students to C through AAA level Hunter/Jumper circuits, winning

PROVEN BARREL RACING BLOODLINES...STANDING TO THE PUBLIC IN 2014!

Both of these stallions are Own Sons of proven multi million-dollar producing barrel and racing sires. Their dams were also top barrel and race horses, proving themselves in competition. We owned and rode their dams into retirement and believe that their genetics, work ethic, attitude, heart, and conformation are prominent in both of these stallions.
