Wendy
Rhea,
owner/instructor
Wendy
has owned and operated top-quality boarding facilities for over 14
years. Former owner of Baywood Equestrian Center in Castro Valley,
she relocated from the Bay Area in 1996 to build and open Quail Ridge
Farm in Wilton, California. Moving from the hectic life as owner
of Baywood, a 36 stall show barn, she now appreciates the quiet life of
a smaller more personalized country facility.
Wendy
has always prided herself on offering the best care available for the
equine residents at her facilities and she now can offer more
personalized care in the smaller setting. With the attitude that
she treats every horse as if it were her own, horse owners can be
assured of the attention to detail that they would provide themselves on
a daily basis. As many of the Quail Ridge Farm residents are
retired, this attention gives owners peace of mind in knowing their
senior equine companions are getting the same kind of care as they
provided themselves when their horse was in the peak of their
performance career.
Wendy
also offers instruction for the beginning rider, both junior and adult,
to the more experienced lower level dressage rider (through second level
instruction). From basic horse handling and care to competing at
local shows and everything in between, Quail Ridge Farm offers
instruction to meet your needs. Wendy’s focus always includes
stressing the safety of the rider through proper handling of the horse
and position of the rider while maximizing the performance of the horse.
Her patience and focus on building confidence is especially helpful to
those riders who have had bad experiences in the past or feel that they
are not maximizing their potential due to fear issues. |
