Rivervale Farm youngsters win at Black Hills Dressage Show On June 13, 2009 we took four of our youngsters to the Black Hills Dressage Show for the USDF Breeders Series Show. They all won their classes and garnered very good comments from the Judge. All were complemented on their lovely type, movement and manners. Since this was the first time any of them had been off the farm we were exceptionally pleased at the way they all handled this new experience. Very typical of the Meisterwind offspring!

Honesty and Integrity... ..are words we live by. We find it offensive that the horse industry has such a reputation for dishonesty. We don't believe that "buyer beware" has any place in our dealings.

We are not dealers. Rivervale Farm has an "open door" policy and visitors are always welcome.
The training team at
Rivervale Farm include a "Young Horse Specialist" who is also a successful FEI competitor
and a former Intermediate Level Eventer.
The young horses are not "bucked out" by a colt breaker or started by
working students and assistants. They are carefully trained in a way that sets the horse up
for success. This results in a horse that enjoys interacting with pe
Rivervale Farm is a full service facility, including indoor and outdoor arenas, cross country course, galloping tracks and miles of trails. We offer lesson programs and training programs.

Our
program is based on superb quality European Warmblood Horses. We are
a small family run breeding operation, concentrating on quality rather
than quantity. Our young horses are growing up galloping to their hearts
content, splashing through the river and developing into strong, sound and
sane athletes! They eat superb quality hay and grain grown and harvested
on Rivervale and nearby farms .
The
Program
ople
and that love their jobs. Along with their "dressage" training, all of the
young horses learn to trail ride, jump stadium and cross country jumps,
cross water and ditches and are exposed to a variety of wildlife and
traffic. Of course we work with proven and performance tested bloodlines
that are known for producing horses with rideability, which makes our job
much easier and insures a wonderful partner for you.
