Already proud of how these two are coming together in such a short time! Check out these cool pics of Arden and Calvin! A special shout out to our amazing staff of grooms who keep our horses looking so beautiful, healthy and shinny! #babesofwindsor #watchthis #ardenstrong #shinny #equitation @ars_stromnes @healthycoat

Eleese Shillingford and Odyssey complete their first Maclay Finals at the National Horse Show to finish up a very successful year of competition!

Congrats to Madison Orr on finishing with the championship ribbon in the A/O’s this past weekend at Tryon. Wishing this pair the best of luck this week at the National Horse Show in Kentucky! #windsorwins #babesofwindsor #champion

Kate Marie Davis and Gallardo finish their first Medal final at Kentucky National Horse Show. These two have become quite the pair in just one month together! We couldn’t be happier with the incredible progress Kate Marie has made. It was just one year ago that she moved to Windsor in hopes to move up to the 3’ children’s. It’s safe to say that she has surpassed her goals already! Not only does she have countless championships in both the Children hunters and 1.0m jumpers, she has managed to qualify for a national 3’3 medal and ribbon at the National Horse Show! Congrats Kate Marie, you are a true star already and the best is yet to come! #maryfrancis #epic @katemarie_eq

Very proud of Eleese Shillingford and her mount Odyssey! Eleese completed her first WIHS finals. It’s such an accomplishment to just qualify and be in the top 30 invited from the east coast to compete. This was her first year competing at this level and she did it all with strength and poise. Although she didn’t finish where she would have liked after the hunter phase, she learned so much and came back the next day ready to work even harder in the stadium! I know I can speak for your parents and barn mates when I say, We are all so proud of how far you have come in such a short time. Keep it up, your future is bright! @shillingford_eq @neil.shillingford @lizashillingford

Meet Michael Britt-León, our final feature of the #BehindTheBarn series presented by MD Barnmaster! With a long list of striking accomplishments, Michael is ...one of the top #Hunter riders in the sport. Continue reading to learn more about his barn life! What’s your favorite barn memory? Every morning when I drive into the barn, all of our horses are out on their grass pasture. They’re either over the fence grooming each other or just grazing, and there’s a peace and calm to that. It makes my heart smile every time I drive in! Also, I spend almost all day with Kelly [Sims]. We have more fun everyday than I think any other pair of people do. This business puts so much pressure on you, but with Kelly at the farm, I always remember why we do it. There’s so much joy and happiness that I don’t think everyone gets. Top three barn essentials? A metal curry comb because it keeps the horses shiny. Pine sol because they water down my barn aisle and spray it, so the barn smells clean everyday. Also, a tractor because I’m crazy about footing! What’s best in a barn design? Airflow. We keep our horses inside, but they’re supposed to be outside, so having light and airflow is crucial. How do you create a home away from home at shows? That’s easy! I have an incredible setup at the barn. When we’re gone, I physically try to set up our barn with our tent, curtains, couches, and chairs. All of our Windsor Stables team has a place to sit and be together. Everybody is very supportive of each other. We very much have a family environment, so I like to have that feeling at the barn where our horses are. That’s how I keep our home away from home! Thanks for catching up with us, Michael! Best of luck to you and your team at #TIEC. MD Barnmaster is the official barn of #TIEC, housing up to 1,400 horses per week!
