Sierra Woods Farm

Sierra Woods Farm Sierra Woods Farm is a Hunter/Jumper facility that provides Boarding, Lessons, Training and Sales services to beginner through advanced riders in the Midwest.

We regularly compete in both the rated and local member Hunter/Jumper shows. Sierra Woods Farm was established in 2005 when Amy Tilson, owner and trainer, struck out on her own after years of working for top trainers Wendy Newby and Tammy Provost. A veteran of the Hunter Jumper world, Amy and her assistant trainers sought to build a business and farm environment that was as enjoyable as it was com

petitive. Sierra Woods has accomplished that goal with stabling for over 40 horses and a very active lesson and showing program. Our horses enjoy outstanding care, regular turnout and a heated facility in the winter. Our riders enjoy a facility that accommodates beginners as young as 5 years old to advanced riders with showing goals. Our showing schedule includes rated and unrated shows throughout the Midwest and the Florida circuit in the winter. Our structured programs include everything from clinics with top visiting professionals to beginner and adult camps. Our facility was designed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for our friends and their horses. We hope that you enjoy the photos below and stop by next time you are in the area.

We are thrilled to have these two experts coming out for an educational event! This event is open to anyone, so make sure you mark your calendar and tell your friends! šŸŽ‰

Did you know that as your horse ages or their workloads change, their saddle fit needs can change dramatically?

Saddle fit is an integral part of our equine partners wellbeing, yet many of us arenā€™t too sure where to start when it comes to examining saddle fit. Join us for an educational event to learn more. Anyone and everyone is welcome!

Highlights:
ā€¢ Dr. Lydia Mudd will be discussing the intricacies of the equine back anatomy and physiology
ā€¢ Dr. Mudd will share how saddle fit impacts performance, health, and contributes to injury
ā€¢ Gina Pletch, an independent saddle fitter, will perform a saddle fitting demo.
ā€¢ As an independent fitter, Gina can work with all brands of saddles. Brand reps are taught to work with their brand, Gina was trained independently to learn in depth about the anatomy of the horse and ideal saddle fit
ā€¢ Dr. Mudd and Gina will discuss how their fields overlap and how we can work together to ensure our horses are pain free
ā€¢ Dr. Mudd and Gina will host a Q&A

We are so excited for this event! Please use the sign up genius link below to RSVP!
