"I am absolutely thrilled to be part of the Riverland’s family.
I recently purchased a 3-year-old imported Dutch Warmblood gelding named Paul by DeNiro. I have high hopes for him, so wanted to make sure he got the right start in his career as a dressage horse.
Most boarding barns don’t have facilities for young horses, which makes buying a young horse stressful, because what happens next? I didn’t want him to end up in a training barn without sufficient turnout or the opportunity to play with other horses his age.
Developing a young dressage horse involves so much more than under saddle training; it starts with their daily routine and lifestyle. He has everything he needs at Riverlands. This includes, access to 24/7 turnout in safe grass paddocks with other horses his age and shelter from the elements, amazing training facilities, expert advice and support both with feeding, health care and training from the knowledgeable barn manager and the head trainer. There are also endless fields and trails for hacking.
At Riverlands, I know all his needs are taken care of and he is happy.
I feel confident knowing that he is getting the right start.
I highly recommend Riverlands to anyone looking for the best care and training from foal to peak performance to retirement, they truly provide the best for each individual horse and rider."

In 2018, Belinda asked Wes to help her find a sporty but 'safe young horse'
that they could develop together, whom she’ll be able to show when the time is right.
They found Simon, a 3yo gelding by Sandro Hit
After completing his basic training with Wes three times per week, Belinda started taking regularly scheduled lessons to feel his progress and is now confident to exercise him on her own...

“Simon is the third horse I've boarded at Riverlands!
The facilities are everything you want for a young horse and the team in place is amazing
I couldn't develop a young horse on my own, but I feel confident with Wes’ support
I couldn’t and wouldn’t want to do it anywhere else”
