About Us

Willowdale Equine Centre is committed to building, organizing and managing an equine centre that supports both Western and English riding activities. Our goal is to provide an environment that invites all enthusiasts to participate in all equine events and to support that interest with the appropriate venues and facilities.
Willowdale Equine Centre is situated on approximately 160 acres of land in Red Deer County, Alberta just 9.5 kilometers East and 2 kilometers South of the city of Red Deer. |

Red Deer is a wonderful city with plenty of places to eat and shop as well as many hotels to choose from if you are an out of town client. In 2008 we opened Willowdale Equine Centre and began boarding, training and giving lessons.
We have prided ourselves on the happiness and health of our horses, and the ability of our instructors to offer the very best nurturing and guidance available in the community.
Our indoor riding arena is one of the nicest venues in the area measuring 80 by 200 feet. It is raked daily and watered automatically by our computer controlled disbursement system. It is resurfaced on a regular basis to maintain the good quality footing. One regulation outdoor arena and a fenced regulation small dressage arena with sand footing provide the perfect opportunity for riding outdoors.

The barn is wood constructed with 28 - 10' x10' stalls. Each stall stall has a window to provide natural sunlight as well as a self regulated watering system. The arena is equipped with a fresh air exchange system to provide fresh clean air to the arena and stable as needed during all seasons. Turn out is available to all horses depending on their needs. For those horses that cannot be turned out with other horses whether a stallion or a horse that doesn’t play well with others we provide individual outdoor stalls. All turn outs are constructed of high quality range panel materials for the horse’s safety.
