ABOUT US
Our goal is simple: produce talented and knowledgeable riders and horses.
Stonewood Equestrian is situated on 20 acres of rolling hills in the heart of Claremont, Ontario and has a deep-rooted history in the equestrian industry. Originally built in the 1970’s by the Wade family it had been a training center for young horses and riders as well as a notable breeding operation for Canadian Sport Horses in its day.
After an extensive renovation in 2012 the facility was restored and upgraded to meet the needs and desires of today's horses and riders.
In November, 2021 Benchmark Equestrian purchased the riding school at Stonewood Equestrian and has modeled the program after their original location in Nobleton, Ontario. The expansion of the Benchmark Equestrian footprint in the Ontario equestrian industry has given this new geography exposure to our partnerships with several highly regarded equestrian professionals across Canada, the United States and Europe that allows Stonewood to provide the highest calibre riding instruction and horse care that has been developed from a strong foundation of knowledge and experience.
Under the Benchmark Equestrian umbrella, Stonewood Equestrian is committed to providing our students with an environment in which they can excel in the sport at whatever level they choose to participate in top-down training programs developed by highly experienced trainers for riders at every level. At Stonewood we offer the perfect blend of family-oriented riding school fun and quality of horses and instruction that can help you reach your riding goals both at home or in the show ring.
Conveniently located in Claremont, Ontario, just 35 minutes from Toronto, and near competition venues, our facility offers an ideal environment and all the amenities both horse and rider need to be successful.
