Windchase is an Eventing Stable owned and operated by
International Event rider Phyllis Dawson. It is situated on
247 acres in the beautiful western Loudoun County countryside,
beside the Blue Ridge Mountains. Windchase is a complete
facility, with excellent stables, large indoor and outdoor riding
arenas, spacious pastures, cross-country courses, and lovely
hacking. Windchase
offers first-rate facilities and top level training for both the
horse and the rider.
Phyllis competed at the
highest levels of Three-day Eventing for over thirty years.
She had success on many different horses, most all of whom
she trained herself. In
1988 Phyllis represented the United States in the Olympic Games in
Seoul, Korea, riding Albany II, finishing tenth overall, the best
of the Americans Eventers. She
also rode for the United States Equestrian Team in 1997,
successfully competing Snowy River in the Open European
Championships at Burghley, England. Learn more about
Phyllis's competitive career and the horses she rode on the Eventing

Horses pages.

"Windchase is located in a beautiful little
valley beside the Blue Ridge, known locally as 'Between
the Hills.' There
is something special about this particular spot on the
earth, something peaceful, almost magical.
Horses are happy at Windchase, and people are too.
There is not a day that goes by that I don't ride
around the farm and think how lucky I am to be here.
I invite you to come out and join us, and
experience a bit of the Windchase Magic."
