Our History

"Somewhere, somewhere in time's own space,

there must be some sweet pastured place,

where creeks sing on and tall trees go,

some paradise where horses go.

For by the love that guides my pen,

I know great horses live again."   (Stanley Harrison)

 

Wolf Creek Equestrian Centre started out in 1990 as Sunbridge Farm, the dream of owner Colleen Campbell.  Colleen singlehandedly built the business from the ground up, and developed a reputation in the area of being an excellent trainer for small children.  In March of 2006, a barn fire destroyed the main lesson barn and killed five horses.  The fire quite literally broke Colleen's heart, and she passed away six months later, leaving a 40-acre horse farm and a thriving children's lesson program.

The farm was leased, and later purchased, by Colleen's dear friends, Sandy and Bill Pintaric, in order to keep the lesson program going and Colleen's memory alive.  Sandy and Barn Manager Cheryl Fossesca, along with trainers Michael Clifford, Carolyne,  and Foster Jimenez Show Stables, are continuing Colleen's tradition of excellence in lessons and boarding, and have added showing at the "AA" level with Foster-Jimenez Show Stables to the mix.  The name Sunbridge Farm was retired, and Wolf Creek Equestrian Centre was born.  The main lesson barn has been rebuilt, and a new outdoor  arena added.

 The new barn's roomy stalls house several dozen happy horses!

 The tack room's a great place to catch a few winks...
