Welcome to Willowview Hill Farm

If you are searching for some top quality horse hay or professional dressage training then you’re in the right place! Willowview Hill Farm offers both in abundance. The farm is located on a south-facing mountainside, over looking Rt 23 and the magnificent Mount Utsayantha in Stamford, NY. Owners Paul Alvin-Smith and his wife Nikki have called the Catskill Mountains home year round for over 20 years.

Home-produced organically grown horse hay for the discerning horse owner and picky equine eaters is sold in small square bales of 1st and 2nd cut from professionally seeded timothy mix hayfields. Sorry, no delivery is available. Pick up only by appointment.

While noted for their international horse breeding business for over 25 years in the Hanoverian, Dutch and Iberian breeds and development of horses from birth to Grand Prix level, this British international level Grand Prix dressage duo also operate an elite training yard for select horses. Both Paul and Nikki have competed during their careers across Europe and earned scores at the Grand Prix level of above 72%.

Additionally the couple are much in demand worldwide as dressage clinicians and regularly clinic nationwide across the U.S.A., and travel to Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom to provide coaching/training help to riders at all dressage levels.

We’re All In. No Elitism Here.

Paul and Nikki happily work with all horse breeds. During their careers they have ‘dressed’ TB, QH, Arabs, Hannoverians, Dutch and Swedish warmbloods, Friesians, Andalusians and Lusitanos from start to Grand Prix. Riders of all abilities are encouraged to participate in their clinics.
