Willow
Acres provides quality full-board for horses, horse training and
horseback riding
facilities for all flat disciplines, and our facility
offers a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere for riders and
their horses in the White Rock, South Surrey, Cloverdale
Langley and Aldergrove communities of beautiful British
Columbia.
The Owners:
Willow Acres Equestrian Centre
is proudly owned and operated by Tara Lumb and Troy
Fitzpatrick.
Philosophy:
Our
guiding principle is to provide you with an environment
that allows you to enjoy your horse and enjoy your
riding. We are 'horse-people' too and we know that
having a safe, secure and well-maintained facility is
just one aspect of what a horse and rider require.
Another equally important aspect is "care." At
Willow Acres we treat the horses under our care the same
way we treat our own horses - as members of our family.
The
Location:
Willow
Acres is situated on a quiet countryside side-road which
means the only traffic noise you hear is the clip-clop
of hooves, the chirping of birds, and the breeze
rustling the trees. We are nestled in a wonderful area
of South Surrey that is just minutes away from White
Rock on one side, and Langley/Aldergrove on the other.
Of special note, Campbell
Valley Park is just a 5 minute haul away and
features 14 kilometers of riding trails. View this map
of the park [pdf
format].
Expectations:
As noted
above, our philosophy is all about providing an
environment of "enjoyment" so we welcome all
breeds and all levels or rider ability. While we don't
run a 'boot camp' style of barn where the rules
outnumber the hay bales, there are rules in place
for horse/rider safety, proper treatment of the horses,
and courtesy amongst patrons. Expectations are placed on
each horse owner/rider to be a good 'barn citizen' by
employing safe riding and handling practices, and
conducting themselves appropriately with facility staff
and other patrons.
