Located in Central Virginia Between Ashland and Fredericksburg

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

~Winston Churchill
