Barn Culture
At Whispering Willow, we prioritize our barn culture above all else. We know that horses and humans alike learn best when they feel calm and supported, and we've developed our program accordingly. We pride ourselves on having an environment that is kind, positive, and inclusive to all. Our instructors specialize in patience, and meeting every rider wherever they are in their journey without judgement. By enlisting our clients to contribute positively to this vision, we have cultivated a community of like minded people who support and uplift each other, and make the barn an enjoyable place to be.
