Lesson Program

Klara Vanderwaal offers lessons to all ages, welcoming beginners and advanced riders. Her philosophy is grounded in safe and intelligent horsemanship, focused on establishing a successful partnership between the horse and rider. Lessons are flexible and tailored to each student. Klara firmly believes that each horse and rider team is unique in their needs and learning styles, requiring a individualized approach. Half and full horse leasing is available for intermediate and advanced riders ages 16 and older.

Wendy McCann, Barn Manager/Instructor
Wendy McCann started getting involved with horses at the tender age of 10 and she has never looked back. Now, twenty years later, she still loves the smell of fresh hay in the morning and hearing nickering horses when she walks into the barn at Wilson Brook Farm. Having more than twenty years of experience with horses, she knows the fun as well as the hazards of the equestrian sport. Her love for the horse is evident when she’s around them and loves to teach others the art of riding. Wendy has mostly been involved in the Hunter/Jumper show rings, but has also dabbled a bit in the Dressage ring as well. If you are looking for an instructor who is patient and specializes in boosting self-confidence and not only teaches the “hows” but the “whys” and keeps it safe for all, you have found the right one in Wendy. Please contact her for any questions or to schedule a lesson at (207) 577-7394. Wendy, also the barn manager, is currently studying for the ARIA exam in Stable Management and Hunt Seat riding, including over fences, and plans to go for the US Hunter/Jumper Association (USHJA) exam sometime in 2009.
