Willowbank has a long history of providing riding experience to the youth and adults of Prescott-Russell. Willowbank started offering the human/horse experience back in 1972. Debating whether to have Angus cows or Dressage horses on their newly acquired century farm on the Ottawa River near Treadwell, George Wilson donated Midnight Star and Rusty to Willowbank.
Horseback riding is one of the oldest and yet most progressive forms of holistic therapy. In ancient Greece, work with horses was central to the rehabilitation of traumatized soldiers! Share both bonding and movement with the horse and, through sensitive non-verbal communication, develop an interdependent relationship.
Willowbank offers boarding in a new state of the art stable. The attached riding arena makes training all year round a pleasure with the barn and arena kept at a comfortable temperature year round. All new boarders require cogging test and up to date on vaccinations (rabies mandatory) and worming. Must have own insurance for horse and rider.
