Cross Winds Farm has an outstanding show team. We take pride in our team spirit and the support we offer each other. That's
a big reason for our success, as well as the talent of our training staff! Another reason is our team's hands-on, all-inclusive
horse care. All team members personally tack, groom and prepare themselves and their horses for the show arena. We
believe strongly that complete horsemanship leads to well rounded riders, a healthy competitive attitude, and total pride
in hard-won accomplishments. Please see our Photo Album page to see more of our team in action.
