Conservation is the careful maintenance and upkeep of a resource to prevent it from disappearing. Willow Grove is working to conserve:

• Légèreté-an ancient French riding methodology and UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage

• Critically endangered Hackney Horses

• Critically endangered Highland Ponies

• The traditions and safe practice of Carriage Driving

This is the mission of Willow Grove

A conservatory is a school specializing in a specific art or skill drawing from both history and modern discoveries. Hundreds of years of French riding masters’ experiences filtered through updated research uncovering what is beneficial physically, mentally, and emotionally for horses. If methods are thorough, they apply to all disciplines.

This is the education of horse & rider at Willow Grove

The wisdom of the past illuminating the future
