Here's the Crew.

Our team has been together in this unique business of blending horses and hospitality for almost a decade. Anchored by great network of friends, family, and fellow equestrians, we have experience in just about every discipline including western pleasure and rodeo, hunters, trail riding, and natural horsemanship. Here are the characters that you'll see on the farm most often these days.

Rachel Erin

Rachel got her start with horses as a 3rd grader, when she got the chance to muck stalls in exchange for riding lessons on a horse named Scooby. She loves playing hostess-with-the-mostess at Stillwater Stables from the helm of her marketing firm, Stillwater Collective.

Scott Stangeland

Scott grew up in Iowa and Illinois, so he's a natural equipment junkie and we're happy for it. When he's not giving a spontaneous tractor-driving lessons or "working" at his "real job", he's repairing, grooming, or otherwise making things look and work perfectly.

Sophia Rotger

Sophia is Rachel's daughter, so the poor girl had little choice but to climb aboard the never-ending ride that is a life and love of horsemanship. She's a busy 20-something but makes time to help out and offers assistance with keeping the horses (and riders) going.

But it's not just Us. 

We are lucky to have our veterinarians at Hadley Hill Equine located less than 5 minutes from the farm, plus Chris LaBrie on board as farrier and lots of helpful trainers and clinicians in our orbit. We are deeply grateful for a merry-go-round of family that are always helping out plus happy horse lovers and horse owners like you.
