The Four Winds

Call Directions Website

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.

Many thanks to everyone who attended our USEF Regional show this past weekend. Your energy and enthusiasm made it a success. A few highlights:
- Im a Gonna Costem and Jennifer DeNicholas won High Point T.I.P. Hunter
- FW Prince Cheddar and Ana Bertozzi took the win for InStride’s $350 .85m Jumper Stake
- We had 4+ ponies compete for their spot to go to CHJA’s Medal Finals!

We hope you can attend our final show this year on 10/31 and 11/1. There will be a costume prize, so you can show off before tricking and treating, and this show will be the LAST CHANCE to qualify for CHJA’s Hunter/Jumper Finals. 👻

We made this flow chart to help, and good news, if you show in classes labeled as OUTREACH or OPPORTUNITY only, you don’t need any memberships or extra documentation. Just bring yourself and a healthy horse!

There’s really no reason *not* to show under the beautiful September leaves!
