Lessons, camps, parties, leasing, training, shows, hunter paces, and boarding — all in one Hudson Valley home.
Through events, workshops, and everyday barn life, our programs help you refine your skills and forge friendships that last. Jump to any program below.
During the regular season, when weather permits, lessons run in a weekly time slot after school or on Saturdays. Whatever your level, we'll build your skills and confidence step by step.
On-site parties include a tour of the farm and petting zoo, plus use of our picnic tables and barn. Prefer to celebrate at home? We'll bring the pony party to your location.
Choosing the right facility and trainer matters for you and your horse. Every horse learns at its own pace — and patience, guidance, and good communication are at the heart of how we work.
Crystal has been breaking and training horses for over 20 years. In training, your horse is worked consistently with its progress and ability, and receives constant hay, water, and daily grain (plus any supplements you provide).
Competing isn't required — but it's a wonderful option. Winnie's Meadows takes part in a variety of Hudson Valley shows at every level, usually within about 90 minutes of the farm, and we host several events right here at home.
A hunter pace is an event over hunting or cross-country territory, ridden to a set "optimum time" the riders don't know in advance. You ride a set course in a group of two or more — and every jump has a go-around. Students ride alongside our instructor and/or assistant.
Leasing lets you experience horse ownership — the riding, the care, the responsibility — before you ever buy. Many of our clients call their lease time their happy place, and we wouldn't have it any other way. Horses are available for on-site and off-site leases.

Every lease requires one lesson a week, which is not included in the lease price. No jumping without a certified instructor present.

We strongly believe horses should live as naturally as possible. Our horses live out 24/7 in small social groups with constant forage, and come in only during extreme weather. Most clients choose our rough-board option, though stall boarding is available too.
Whether you're swinging into the saddle for the first time or chasing your next ribbon, there's a place for you and your family at Winnie's Meadows.
