The Four Winds

Located just north of CSU, we offer horseback riding lessons, training, boarding and host horseshows.

Four Winds has been family owned and operated for almost 50 years. Our equestrian center offers horse boarding, riding lessons, horse training and sales, and equine events. As a family business, collaboration is important in all that we do. The Four Winds training program has a traditional philosophy, focusing on flatwork while still staying true to the American Forward Riding! We accept anywhere

from walk-trotters (5 and up) to Grand Prix riders and offer school and lease horses. Our barn competes locally on the CHJA Circuit, as well as at several USHJA shows a year, with several opportunities to show on sight. We host four CHJA Shows per year, and a schooling show once a month during the summer season.

Horrible pun, but that’s what Linnea does best… cold and rainy days are ahead of us, so hope you’re all bundled up and no escape artists….. With the EHV-1 cases confirmed in Larimer, Four Winds will be self-isolating for the next ten days (no haul ins, or leaving with intent to return). All horses after the 10 days will be required to have a health certificate within 3 days and a current temperature log of the week leading up.

We’re feeling just about as delighted as Dominique looks thinking back on what an incredible show season it’s been! A huge thank-you to all of our competitors, sponsors, and supporters who made it possible—we truly couldn’t do it without you. And we have to say, we’re extra grateful that the weather cooperated for our final show of the season!

Our Story

Located 3 miles north of the CSU campus, Four Winds has been family owned and operated for 30+ years. Our Equestrian Facility services the northern Colorado region, offering horse boarding, horse sales, horse training and riding lessons. Our barn competes locally on the CHJA Circuit, as well as at several "A"+ rated shows a year. We host three CHJA Shows per year at our facility, and a schooling show once a month. Our training program has a classical foundation, believing that the art is in the details. We strive to instill an understanding of the mechanics of horseback riding and promote horsemanship along the way. We accept anywhere from walk-trotters (8 and up) to Grand Prix riders. Barn hours are 7 days a week, from 8am to 8pm. Lesson hours are Tuesday through Sunday and vary.
