Willow

We are very sad to share with you that our wonderful Willow passed away on April 5, 2019, at the ripe old age of 26. She left a huge hole in the barn and in many hearts. Willow was an incredible horse with a Huge presence, both in terms of height (a towering 17.1 hands) and personality - she could definitely be an opinionated mare around other horses (actually, she was an epic crank!)  But Willow was a sweetheart to her riders and was such a wonderful teacher. Willow was a registered Westphalian and had early training in dressage. She spent some time at Cornell Equine Park before she came to the farm. Willow had never been a jumper but she caught on incredibly quick and was really talented. In her last years at the farm she excelled in the newly-hatched Cornell Dressage Club practices, returning to her roots a bit while continuing to carry kids and adults over fences. Willow was such a smart, steady, beautiful horse who is missed every day. ​
