Pictured above is one of our all time FAVORITE horses--SEVENS RIPPLE GLO.  Other than a few short years Rip has spent most of his 23 years with us!  He has taken many riders into the show arenas (hunter, jumper and dressage thru 3rd level).  When he competes at the 2008 BLM Dressage Championships in Lexington, Va he will be just a few months shy of his 25th birthday!!

We hold 3 shows each year here, that are restricted to riders at Wildwin Stable.  These shows are less formal than the shows we travel to, and offer riders who are new to competition, a way to get started and not spend a fortune.  Even for the experienced show ring competitor the shows offer more relaxed way of competing, and we have a GREAT year end awards program.

We also travel to about 15 - 20 shows each season, some locally in  PA, but we also compete out of state.

If you don't own a horse, you may still compete with us, on one of our Show Horses.

Prices for coaching at shows are VERY reasonable.

We do provide transportation to shows, prices vary depending on distance.

You may contact us at (724) 875 2834 or email us at wildwin@comcast.net for more information on showing and coaching.
