Aileen Downing
Owner & Barn Manager
Born and raised in Germany, I started taking riding lessons as a young girl, mainly focusing on contemporary dressage. Throughout the years I trained many horses of different breeds/ages/disciplines and worked on individual challenges their owners faced by introducing a solid foundation of groundwork and dressage to their routine.
Owning my own horses and turning my passion into a business has always been a dream of mine. With our move from FL to MD this dream has now become reality.
Given my background in horse training and my former employment as a Guest Experience Manager at Walt Disney World as well as Disney Cruise Line, you'll find me taking care of the day-to-day business and making sure things are running smoothly at our ranch.
Jonathan Downing
Owner
My husband Jon is originally from Texas, but has lived all over the place due to his job in the USAF. He enjoys Western and trail riding and has been introduced to horses at a young age, regularly attending the local rodeos in Texas and spending his summers in Colorado where he would explore the trails on horseback.
Working with and around horses comes naturally to him and he supports me in all aspects of the business. He's especially talented when it comes to all kinds of construction projects around the farm and has an eye for functionality and design.
