Suzuki, our current medial board resident, got a new set of clogs casted on both front feet from the U of IL Farrier Service and a much needed body clip by one of our incredible working students! This adorable pony has come a long way in the two months she’s been under our care and we look forward to her continuing to improve over the next several weeks until she is stable enough to be “discharged” back home!

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!

This should be the POPULAR opinion! If you cannot safely and appropriately groom, tack up, untack, cool out or clean a stall, you should not be riding routinely until you learn to do so and continue to do so each and every ride!

Horsemanship and horse health care should ALWAYS come FIRST!

WORKING STUDENT POSITION

CWF is looking for a few more students to help out this summer! ☀️

We are again looking for help feeding, watering, turning in/out, and cleaning stalls starting as soon as possible. We are a hunter/jumper barn that offers stall board as well as a lesson and show program. We are home to the UIUC English (Huntseat) Equestrian Team and the Commonwealth Farm IEA team. We have a fantastic string of lesson horses as well as some private boarders. We are looking for someone who already has horse experience and is willing to learn how we operate. We have openings for evening feeding shifts as well as stall cleaning to gain hours towards lessons or to work off board.

This position is a great way to ride and work with horses in high school, college, or graduate/professional school while on a tight budget!

*MUST HAVE YOUR OWN TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM THE FARM*

Please PM us and comment that you did so, including your horse/riding experience and time availability in your message.

Very belated post but we had a fantastic time at IEA Nationals April 22-26! Our horses Layla, Ruby, Bitsy and Buzz all took part in this wonderful competition at the NEC in Lake Saint Louis, MO.

Layla won an over fences class and the rest of the crew lead multiple riders to several top ten places! Thank you to Sarah F and Kristina S for working so very hard the whole weekend to keep the horses in top top shape!

We are so proud of all our horses and all the riders that competed this weekend!
