Our horses have a demanding work schedule year-round in classes involving extensive walking, some trotting and occasionally cantering. They have plenty of time to play and be a herd animal in our spacious paddocks. Our herd constantly receives love and attention from students, volunteers and staff. They get routine veterinary care including worming, shots, and dental work.
We know that the best horse is not perfect and a good candidate may not have every attribute. Evaluation by Winslow staff is required prior to advancing with a possible donation. If you feel your horse would be a good match for our program contact our Head Riding Instructor/Program Coordinator, Stacy Lenz at stacy@winslow.org.
