Julie Amendola - Owner

Julie's deep love for horses began when she was 3, and she reports that she cannot remember a time when she was not thinking about them. Throughout her youth, she studied English riding while growing up in Michigan, and eventually began riding and showing green horses for others. She rode throughout her adult years and competed as an amateur in dressage and combined training. She has had the opportunity to participate in clinics with riders such as Denny Emerson, Karen O'Conner, as well as several local recognized trainers.

Julie spent her professional working career as an occupational therapist helping others recover from accidents and injuries. After devoting most of her life to that career, she decided that it was time for a change and to pursue other dreams.

Julie recognized the vital importance of providing an equestrian facility in an urban area in order to make horsemanship opportunities and farm life experiences available to the community and to preserve this way of life for generations to come. Julie specializes in the beginner and intermediate riders, and enjoys working with adults and children alike. She strives to create a safe atmosphere for horse and rider while building a solid foundation from which the rider can progress safely and successfully to more advanced levels, whether in the show ring or for pleasure.
