     Oakwood Manor is a private stable where we specialize in one-on-one attention to our horses and our students.  With over 20 years of experience as a coach, judge, clinician and competitor at the local, regional, and national levels, you will be in capable hands. 

      We offer english, western, and barrel racing training and lessons for beginner through advanced riders.  We always have several nice horses for sale. Give us a call and we will help you find a perfect match!

     Our stable is  located just outside of Binghamton, New York, a few minutes from routes 81, 12,17, 79, and 88. We have a large outdoor and indoor arena as well as great trails! 

     Be sure to check out our stallion, Nexavar, by clicking on the at stud tab above.  We are very pleased with his first foal crop and have been enjoying his successes the past two years including an ARHA World Championship in conformation, Futurity Championship , and 2 AQHA World Show qualifications.  We are very proud of all of his accomplishments.  It takes a special stallion to be competing and breeding successfully as a four year old.

We are also excited to announce the addition of Another Lap, our used tack consignment shop.  Please check the tab at the top for more information.

Our training philosophy is one of celebrating each step of the long process in helping a young, green horse develop into the exceptionally gifted, talented, and confident competitor that he or she holds within.  The following quote, by Timothy Gallway, reminds me of this concept:

When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice it is small, but we do not criticize it as "rootless and stemless."  We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed.

When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped; we do not criticize the buds for not being open when they appear.  We stand in wonder at the process taking place, and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. 

The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies.  Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential.  It seems to be constantly in the process of change:  Yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.

A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing . . . a flower in the process of expressing its potential.

 

WORDS TO LIVE BY
by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives.  
Be kind anyway.

If you are honest, people may cheat you.
Be honest anyway.

If you find happiness, people may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

For you see, in the end, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.
