Our Ranch in the Stafford Hills
Wilsonville Equestrian Center is situated on 23 private acres in the scenic southwest hills of Stafford, offering a peaceful and spacious environment for both riders and horses. Surrounded by natural beauty, the property is bordered by Boeckman Creek to the west and the historic Frog Pond Grange district to the east, creating a unique and tranquil setting for riding and learning.
For over 50 years, this beautiful property has been home to generations of horse families. Throughout the years, a wide variety of horse breeds have thrived here, including Thoroughbreds, Morgans, Arabians, Quarter Horses, Appaloosas, Shetland ponies, and more. This long-standing history reflects our commitment to providing consistent, high-quality care and a dependable environment for both horses and riders.

Riders benefit from an expansive open-air arena with quality footing, creating an ideal space for both lessons and training. With secure fencing and a well-maintained property, safety and comfort are always top priorities.
