History
Wildtree was first established in 1977 by Norma Richards' family as a breeding farm, standing three beautiful thoroughbred stallions and raising thoroughbred horses for sport. Over the years, the farm has transformed into a wonderful lesson, training, schooling show and summer camp facility.
"Norma's lessons are filled with laughter. When I think back on my years of riding with Norma and watching her teach my children and train my horses, the laughter is what stands out in my mind. Everyone is having fun while they learn. Norma's calm and friendly personality, her ability to communicate, her attention to safety and her years and years of experience (including continuing her own education) all combine together to make the lessons enjoyable and educational. I love that Norma values all of her students. From the older adult that rides just for fun to the junior wanting to go to all the shows - everyone is important to Norma."
The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears.
