About Us

Founded by Allie Zlepnig Byrne in 2009, Wendigo Farms was built on a passion for exceptional horsemanship, quality training, and putting the horse first. What began as a full-service A Circuit training facility has evolved into a boutique program focused on individualized care, professional development, and creating lasting partnerships between horse and rider.

​

After many successful years operating a busy show stable, Allie chose to concentrate on developing her own horses and a select group of clients while continuing to compete at the highest levels of the sport. Today, Wendigo Farms offers a personalized training experience where every horse receives the attention and care needed to reach its full potential.
