Crooked Creek Farm Equestrian Training

About This Facility

Crooked Creek Farm is a boutique hunter, jumper, and equitation training and competition program located in Woodstock and owned and operated by head trainer Carolyn Duncan, a United States Equestrian Federation “R” Judge in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation. With decades of experience as a trainer, competitor, and judge, Carolyn offers riders a unique perspective on what it takes to be successful in the show ring and helps each client develop the skills necessary to achieve their goals.

Our program is designed for motivated riders of all ages who are committed to progressing in a competitive environment. We work with students and horses competing at every level, from local schooling shows to nationally recognized competitions. Whether a rider is preparing for their first horse show or pursuing championships at premier venues, our focus is on building a solid foundation of horsemanship, confidence, and technical skill.

As a boutique program, Crooked Creek Farm intentionally limits the number of horses and riders in training so that every client receives individualized attention and a customized program. We believe that meaningful progress comes from consistency, thoughtful instruction, and a training plan tailored to the unique needs of each horse and rider.

Exceptional horse care is the cornerstone of our program. Horses receive premium feed, top-quality hay, customized nutrition, and attentive daily care from our experienced full-time staff. We manage every aspect of care, including veterinary scheduling, farrier services, deworming, and wellness programs, ensuring that each horse is maintained to the highest standard.

Our amenities are designed to provide comfort, convenience, and a safe environment for both horses and riders and include, but are not limited to:

* On-site caretaker providing added security and oversight
* Security camera system throughout the property
* Automatic arena irrigation for optimal footing conditions
* Hot walker
* Small-group turnout
* Private tack lockers
* Automated fly spray system

Our full-service training and competition program includes:

* Full-care training and competition boarding
* Private and semi-private lessons
* Professional training rides
* Horse show planning, preparation, and day-of coaching
* Sales and leasing assistance
* Coordination of all veterinary, farrier, and wellness services

We pride ourselves on transparent, straightforward pricing with no hidden fees. Our rates are designed to reflect the quality of care, instruction, and management we provide while remaining fair and competitive for the level of service offered.

Because Crooked Creek Farm is structured as an active training and competition program, we are best suited for clients who intend to lesson consistently and participate in horse shows as part of our team. We are not a traditional boarding facility; rather, we offer a comprehensive, hands-on program for owners who want their horses to be professionally managed and actively developed within a structured, goal-oriented environment.

At Crooked Creek Farm, our mission is to combine exceptional horse care, expert instruction, and personalized support to help every horse and rider reach their fullest potential—from their first blue ribbon to success on the national stage.
