Equestrian Center

One of the best equestrian facilities in the country

Walker’s Equestrian Center is considered one of the premier facilities of any school in the country.

The Ethel Walker School provides a strong foundation to maintain a best-in-class riding program.

The Equestrian Center is located on Walker’s 175-acre campus, providing ready access to the barn and horses, as well as winding trails and extensive turnouts.

On Campus Facilities

Our Equestrian Center is located on campus, so you are just steps away from your horse and your equestrian activities. The proximity of the barn to the academic buildings allows you to take riding lessons during the day as part of your normal school schedule.

Frank O.H. Williams Barn

The Frank O.H. Williams Barn, with three tack rooms, heated wash stalls, and an attached indoor ring, serves as the central hub of the facility. Williams Barn includes a work area for vets and farriers, a rubber brick floor for added warmth in the winter.

Henderson Riding Ring

Henderson is among the largest indoor rings in the area, measuring 100' by 200'. With natural lighting and beautiful brick walls, Henderson also offers Travel Light, dust-free footing, mirrors, and a full-length viewing gallery with a raised seating platform.

Show Ring

The Lorinda Payson de Roulet '47, P'70 Show Ring features a larger riding space with premium sand footing and a set of show-class jumps that are versatile for all jumping disciplines.

Paddocks

In fall 2017, Walker’s constructed a beautiful, new, larger turn-out area in the heart of the open fields directly across from the Frank O.H. Williams Barn featuring 14 individual paddocks of larger and varied sizes, each equipped with a Nelson automatic horse waterer.

Turnouts and Fields

In addition to our new paddocks, our facility has 13 additional turnout spaces, including nine sand paddocks and four grass fields.
