WINDCHASE  EVENTING


     Windchase is an Eventing Stable in Purcellville, VA, owned and operated by International Event rider Phyllis Dawson.  
     Our horse farm specializes in Event horses for sale, training event horses, horse boarding, and breeding event horses.  We offer riding lessons with ICP instructors, and an excellent working student program. 
     Windchase is a complete facility, with excellent stables, large indoor and outdoor riding arenas, spacious pastures, cross-country courses, and lovely hacking.  Windchase offers first-rate facilities and top level training for both the horse and the rider.
  
     Windchase is situated on 267 acres in the beautiful western Loudoun County countryside, in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.  We are located in Hillsboro, VA, about 15 minutes from Purcellville, and 25 minutes northwest of Leesburg, VA. We are convenient to Northern Virginia and the Washington, DC area, and are just over the river from Maryland and West Virginia.  We are approximately 15 minutes from Charles Town, WV, and about a half-hour from Dulles Airport, Middleburg, VA, or Frederick, MD.  Centrally located in USEA Area II, Windchase is convenient to the mid-Atlantic area.

at the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, 1988.

       Phyllis competed at the highest levels of Three-day Eventing for over thirty years.  She had success on many different horses, most all of whom she trained herself.  In 1988 Phyllis represented the United States in the Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea, riding Albany II, finishing tenth overall, the best of the Americans Eventers.  She also rode for the United States Equestrian Team in 1997, successfully competing Snowy River in the Open European Championships at Burghley, England.  With the help of her mother Grace, Phyllis founded Windchase in 1986, and has built it into the lovely Eventing and Boarding facility it is today. 

     Trainer Molly Kinnamon is an accomplished Advanced Level competitor and successful Eventing coach. She trains and teaches many of the Windchase horses and riders. Whether schooling one of the youngsters, supervising the running of the barn, training the sale horses, or coaching Windchase students, Molly keeps her schedule busy and accomplishes a huge amount every day. 




     Windchase always has an excellent selection of Event horses for sale, ranging from talented young prospects to successful experienced competition horses.  Our horses are always represented honestly; it is very important to us to help the rider find the right horse, and we make every effort to help ensure a suitable match that will result in a successful partnership. We specialize in Event horses and prospects, and we also provide horses for dressage, hunter/jumper, foxhunting and pleasure riding.  We generally have horses suitable for a wide range of riders, and in a variety of price ranges.

"Windchase is located in a beautiful little valley beside the Blue Ridge, known locally as 'Between the Hills.'  There is something special about this particular spot on the earth, something peaceful, almost magical.  Horses are happy at Windchase, and people are too.  There is not a day that goes by that I don't ride around the farm and think how lucky I am to be here.  I invite you to come out and join us, and experience a bit of the Windchase Magic."
