Northwoods is a friendly horse environment for people of all skill levels. There are two arenas and a round pen, horses are stalled or let out in the pastures depending on the weather and everyone is kind.

You won't find a more caring team around! You'll instantly realize they treat everyone, people and horses, as family. We couldn't be any luckier, or more blessed, than to have found NWS in our lives
