Training
Oakwood Farms offers a number of services in support of the equestrian, including a training system for young horses through FEI level horses. Head trainer, Meg Williams has developed a proven system to develop horses and their riders. Meg has earned her USDF Bronze, Silver, and Gold Medals and has been successfully training horses and riders for many decades.
We pride ourselves in our proven record of introducing the correct basics to make successful horses for any discipline. Our program starts with the basics of groundwork and progresses to introduction of tack and acceptance of a rider undersaddle. Upon completion of the program, the horses are able to walk, trot, canter forward to the bit, lengthen and shorten stride, have the start of lateral work, experience in free jumping, as well as hacking in the field and through the woods. We also specialize in preparing young warmbloods for mare inspections and the Mare Performance Test - which we host for the American Hanoverian Society at the farm each year.
In addition to staring young horses, Oakwood Farms training program can continue to develop horses through the FEI levels in dressage as well as preparing horses for sale. Meg’s extensive experience has produced numerous FEI level horses - many of which successfully compete at these levels with their amateur riders. When offering horses for sale, we pride ourselves on our honesty in representing the horses while utilizing our extensive network to find suitable matches that benefit both horse and new rider.
Training at Oakwood Farms is not just for horses - Meg Williams offers her years of experience to riders and horses of all abilities and skill levels through lessons and clinics as well. She has a unique ability to adjust her teaching style to suit riders of all personalities and confidence levels - if you have any particular concerns be sure to let her know and she can work with you!
