Meadowvale Farm is a friendly, family run, facility welcoming of both competitive and recreational riders. We strive to maintain a positive, friendly and professional atmosphere. We have an important team of coaches and barn staff who work together to ensure both horses and riders are catered to.
The farm is owned by Stephanie Calvert. Stephanie and her husband, Damien Marion, purchased the property in 2005 and have developed the property into the Equestrian facility that it is today. We continue to upgrade and increase our services and facilities.
Our team of coaches and barn staff work together to ensure Meadowvale provides an excellent quality of service to customers. Our goal is to provide superior riding instruction with a focus on safety and fun, excellent care for both our boarded horses and our own invaluable school horses, all in a positive social atmosphere.
