- About Us -
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle
The Riddermark Equestrian Center offers young top quality bloodline warmbloods to the members of Equus-Sims that specialize in showjumping. We started this enterprise with the goal of competing favorably against the very finest quality European horses around and we set out to take the best of what we have learned and strive to improve upon it by seeking expert professional advice from some of the world's leading horsemen, trainers, and breeders along the way. The Riddermark Equestrian Center is one of the biggest warmblood breeding, training, and showing operations in the Equus-Sims Community and has been since about 2011. We specialize in breeding warmblood horses that excel in showjumping circuits around the world.
Our horses are exquisitely bred from pure, approved bloodlines and are pasture-raised and carefully trained to be ridden by amateurs or the most discriminating professional riders. Youngsters benefit from regular handling and progressive, age-appropriate training from birth to when they are started under saddle at three years. Boarding, breeding, foaling, and foundation jump training is available with options for board and training packages. We also supply breeding quality mares and stallions to breeders seeking top quality bloodlines for their program. We believe the horses we breed should not only be beautiful, but should also demonstrate the athletic, speed, and endurance qualities of the breed that make it one of the most popular sporting breeds in the world today. Under the supervision of our owner & breeding manager, Rebecca Matthews, Yard Manager, Paige Price, head trainer, [now hiring!], and Veterinarian Dr. Kyle Sacs we offer excellent care and education for young horses and developing riders.
By investing in a Riddermark Equestrian Center youngster and you will receive more than a horse. We take pride in carefully considering your requirements and budget to help you find a suitable match from among the 20+ horses in our collection. Because the majority of the horses are bred, born and raised on our farm, we can eliminate a lot of uncertainty and risk for you as a buyer. You have the security of knowing and often meeting multiple generations of your equine family as well as meeting the riders, trainers, grooms, farriers, and veterinarians responsible for your youngsters care since birth.
In contrast to buying a horse from a conventional sales barn, you can investigate the emotional, social, and health history of your prospect before you decide. When you buy from us, you discover not only your horse’s exceptional genetic legacy in his or her DNA, but the long hours of professional handling and training by the Riddermark's staff in molding the mind and young body of our farm-raised youngsters into the confident, athletic, and intelligent prospects you see on a purchase inspection. It is our staff's professionalism and a relentless determination to breed, raise, and develop the very best for sport and to please our clients that makes a Riddermark Equestrian Center warmblood special.

♕ Our Team
The Riddermark's Support System
The management team of the Riddermark Equestrian Center is the driving force behind everything we do here. Without our staff to help us, we wouldn't be able to offer half of the services that we do. Our head trainer, [Now Hiring!] specializes in showjumping and is highly experienced, having done and seen it all before ever coming to work for us and we are so happy to have them on our team. With a group of eight riders, of all experience levels, who are all like family, it's no wonder that things run as smoothly as they do! We have them to thanks and would fall apart without them. And lets not forget our two youngest riders, the future sure does look bright!
