Ottawa Stables, Lesson & Boardings

Oxford Ridge Stable

Situated on 24 acres the facilities are comprised of a 24 stall stable, a 20m x 60m indoor riding hall, a 20m x 60m outdoor dressage ring (with all-weather rubber footing), tack room, washroom, boarder’s viewing lounge, and hay barn, as well as turn-out paddocks.

Established in 1990 by Ruth Koch (Certified Level III Dressage Coach and Trainer, Past Chair of Coaching, Dressage Canada), and her husband Steve Jorgensen, Oxford Ridge has enjoyed a successful 17 year history, growing from an initial 11 stall capacity to the current 24 stalls.

Dressage is the foundation of all training at Westar Farms from the beginners through to the national level competitors. This strong flatwork foundation helps build better skills over the jumps with all students progressing based on the principles of balance of horse and rider. Our competitive students today are Hunter, Equitation, and Jumper riders. Most either board their horse with us or lease one of the Westar horses.

Wynbrook Farm is a family operated riding school just outside of Vars, Ontario. It is a 20-minute drive east of Ottawa and south of Orleans on Dunning Road. Gary and Joanne Brooks have owned and operated this top-notch hunter barn since 1985. Many students have advanced to top placings in local, provincial and national competitions in both hunter and dressage
disciplines.

Wynbrook Farm was the first to recognize the need for rider levels and introduced eight progressive badge levels back in 1987. Annual badge days, usually in February, allow each student a private assessment where they are tested on certain skills for their level of riding. This approach has proven to be extremely successful in guaranteeing a solid education and a boost of
confidence.

Highly qualified coaches at Wynbrook Farm are nationally certified or current in the apprenticeship program and working towards their certification. The Wynbrook horses are amazing! We have over 14 well trained school horses and ponies to suit every level of rider. Whether you ride for fun or for serious competition goals, every staff member strives to enhance the positive atmosphere for learning that our students can expect as they discover the joy of horses and riding at Wynbrook Farm.
