Wendover Place is 33 stall hunter/jumper barn on 11 acres. We board/train horses, give riding lessons, and show from local to national level. Well known for their winning spirit, horse knowledge and communication skills between horse and rider, Wendover Place trainers and sisters , Wendy Trocano and Lesli Isaacson show throughout the eastern US in USEF, IEA and IHSA competitions. Wendover is considered a top barn in Florida for proper horsemanship and correct equitation, as well as fun since 1992!
At Wendover Place, we start everyone in a half hour private lesson. Students arrive about 25 minutes ahead of their scheduled lesson time to learn how to halter the horse or pony they may ride and groom him/her. Students will be taught how to use the curry comb, body brush, hoofpick, and mane and tail brush. After grooming, students then learn how to “tack up” where they put on the saddle, bridle and martingale and adjust the girth and then the stirrups. More advanced students will sometimes return to the longe line and work without stirrups, no reins, and even their eyes shut. We do not require students to show but if that is your dream and the idea of competition is for you, you have come to the right place. Wendover riders have won classes from local shows to National finals!!!
Whether you are 6 or 60, please give us a call to book your next lesson with Wendy or Lesli!
