What a productive day! The barn maintenance never stops. Today we went through and replaced all of the defective bulbs in our arena fixtures and did a thorough dusting of all the arena walls while the lift was out. The little things really do make big differences!

It is with a heavy heart that we have made the difficult decision to put an end to our public lesson programs here at Windy Hill. As our facility grows and evolves, we feel that our boarders and their needs are the best place for our focus to be at this time. Effective September 1, 2022, our facility will no longer offer lessons to outside clients. **This change has no effect on our policy for boarders, they will still be welcome to use outside instructors of their choosing if they wish to.** Thank you so much to the many wonderful clients we have had the pleasure of meeting through the years and hope that you all find a wonderful equestrian program to continue to nurture the love we all share for our wonderful equine friends!

Our new arena additive is barely noticeable after a regular grooming schedule! The FoamFooting has mixed in beautifully and our boarders are raving about it. The foam definitely adds a spring to the horses’ step! Picking manure is simple with a wider tined fork. Yes, some pieces do make it to the muck heap, but it is minimal. What a great addition to our footing!

03/20/2022

What a FUN product!! We’re super excited to try out our brand new FoamFooting. Check out all of the neat colors!!

03/17/2022

Our FoamFooting has arrived and we can’t wait to get it installed this weekend! We are excited to see how much of a difference this makes for both the horses on a shock absorbency standpoint as well as alongside the MAG flakes for LONGTERM dust control. The improvements never stop 💕

02/24/2022

We are so excited to announce that we are bringing the quality of our arena footing to the NEXT LEVEL!! Our beautiful arena was constructed with a solid clay base, second layer of compacted limestone screenings and a workable surface of 2" of washed torpedo sand to accommodate a wide range of disciplines. We have always utilized MAG flakes as a form of dust control, but we are now thrilled over the newest addition that has been ordered, FOAM FOOTING!! It will be utilized alongside our regular MAG applications to assist with dust control and SO MUCH MORE!! Below are some of the many benefits to this amazing new additive:
* Softens the hoof’s impact
* Lessens the amount of dust
* Enjoy longer training sessions
* Reduces compaction and lessens frequent injuries
* Dramatically improves cushioning and energy return
* Reduces freezing
Our new footing is scheduled to arrive for install early-mid March. We will do a followup post once the install is complete. Just another one of the many reasons why you and your horse will love it here as part of the WHEC family! ❤️
