Wellgreen Farm welcomes students (of any ability level) carefully selected lesson horses suitable for even the most novice of riders. For those people who own their own horses, you are welcome to bring them for training and/or lessons. Visitors are welcome to come observe lessons in progress and take a tour of our facility at any time, but if you prefer a personal guided tour, just call or email us for an appointment.
To join our lesson program, email us at wellgreenfarm@verizon.net or call:
(309) 530-0670 to get scheduled with Marj. or (309) 275-3895 to get scheduled with Jeanette.
Students under the age of 18 are required to wear protective headgear, bring their own helmet if they have one, or one of ours will be provided for them. Flat soled shoes with at least a one-half inch heel must be worn, no sandals or tennis shoes.
You can download a copy of our Barn Policy (below) and upon arrival at the student's first lesson,
the Waiver of Liability must be signed.
We focus on western, english, hunt seat, dressage, jumping and gaited disciplines with the main goal of establishing a good, balanced seat, natural horsemanship techniques, and skills to optimize safety of our
riders and our horses.
We offer riding vacations for our guests that would like a customized riding lesson(s) during their stay, in addition to training and/or working on problem solving instruction that is also available to our guests who wish to bring their own horses. We offer on-site lodging and stabling by reservation.
Specialized clinics with top professionals will be organized by Wellgreen Farm based on public demand. We have successfully hosted several clinics on specific subjects such as "Clinton Anderson Downunder Horsemanship", groundworking and starting a horse under saddle, dealing with problem horses, Resistance Free Riding & Training the Richard Shrake way, Larry Whitesell's Gaited Horsemanship Clinic, Liz Graves, and other clinics on dressage and jumping.
Our facility can be rented by an approved group or clinician for an event.
As clinics are booked, they will be listed on our "Barn Calendar" page with a flyer and registration form.
Feel free to contact Marjorie Gilmore for more information..... (309) 530-0670
We specialize in Western, English, Hunt Seat, Dressage, & Gaited Riding Disciplines
Below are the phenomenal bloodlines our western pleasure stallions, hunt seat stallions, and gaited horse stallions our horses are out of. For consideration, we are willing to give you lessons and/or lease you oneof our remarkable horses out of these world reknown proven stallions. Wellgreen Farm is one of the few barns that offers the diversity and quality of horses in this area.
Not unlike other sports (volleyball, softball, football, basketball) you need to practice to be good at it. So, whether or not you want to be a concert pianist on horseback or just play chopsticks, with regular, consistent riding, we can help get you there.
