In 1991, after many years in Massachusetts, Susan and Bill Woods said good-bye to the cold and made Florida their year-round home.

            Drawn to the rolling hills and sprawling live oaks of the area, they found land and built their farm, aptly naming it to reflect their penchant to travel so far and wide on their judging and teaching assignments. Only ten minutes from Interstate-75, Four Winds Farm is a small facility located in rural NW Marion County outside Ocala, Florida. The Woodses specialize in private dressage instruction at the farm, offered on a superb all-weather rubber arena surface.

Services offered at the farm include:

Private dressage instruction

Short course tune-ups for out-of-town or out-of-state riders

Horses taken in training (general boarding not offered)

Coaching for regular students at area dressage shows

            Four Winds Farm is also "mobile." Susan and Bill conduct regular lessons in many Florida locations, including Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Orlando, Brooksville, Tampa, Sarasota, and Daytona.
