PADDOCKS & AMENITIES
Windwood’s individual turn-out paddocks are a key component to the health and care of our horses. Individual paddocks have a golf course caliber irrigation system and are carefully maintained to insure grass growth through a rotation schedule. The turn-out rotation schedule is orchestrated by the head trainers and proven to help maintain horst health and limit injuries. The horses are separated, but can see each other, keeping them safer and happier, too.
Windwood Equestrian facilities offer a huge porch, which is the perfect place to view the main arena. The porch is an ideal spot to watch lessons, view the action on a show day or simply relax with a glass of iced tea after a ride.

ample amount of time, to have a horse that is solely dedicated to them.
