Wyndham Oaks is result of a lifetime love of horses and a very understanding husband. 

My first horse, a 23-year old Thoroughbred, lived in my back yard. “Tim” led me into a lifelong love of horses. My favorite memories growing up were times spent at my aunt’s cattle farm outside of Richmond, Virginia. She taught me the importance of being a good steward of the land and giving back to the community which sustains you.

My dream for Wyndham Oaks is a place where striving for excellence is our daily goal. First, and most importantly, the land must be protected and well managed as it is our most precious resource. To that end, Wyndham Oaks works closely with the Montgomery County Soil Conservation Service, Agricultural Extension Service and USDF as a model facility.

Next, I looked for someone who combined design expertise with an understanding of our silent clients, the horses that give us such pleasure. Our architect and master planner, John Blackburn, founder of Blackburn Architects, designed a facility that focused first on their health, security and well being. This is their home. After that he turned to the needs and comforts of humans. Twenty years later, we can confirm he accomplished both exceptionally well.

With plans in hand, we turned to getting the job built right. The initial phase, consisting of the indoor and small barn was built by Kaiser Construction, who has substantial expertise in building special riding arenas. I credit the brilliant design of the airplane hanger doors, which serve as our windows in the indoor, to Chris and Dave Leinbach, owners of the company. Dedicated, master carpenters from Cumberland Poultry build the hay storage barn, main barn, run-in and muck storage facility. Lead by Amos Hurst, they drove two hours each way every day from Pennsylvania yet still arrived with a smile and concern for the quality of every nail they drove.

Special thanks go to my great friends Linda and Becky, without whose support and encouragement, my dream would not be a reality. It really does take a “herd” to do this.

Now, it’s up to the people who call Wyndham Oaks home — the farm’s amazing managers;  our trainers, and the all important stable crew — to reach for the excellence which is our goal.

We welcome all who want to be a part of our community of fun and learning.
