About Our Horse Farm
Our History
In 1972 Mr. and Mrs. Charles Linton, their children Craig, Beth and Forrest, and six ponies, moved to Woodpecker Farm. This was the beginning of a succession
of local, state and national champions.
Our Mission
Our Mission
The emotional, psychological and physical connection between the horse and the rider is one major ingredient in horseback riding. Whether the goal is competing or pleasure, our mission is to produce secure riders that connect, on all levels, with the horses they are riding. ~Beth Linton, Woodpecker Farm
