Whether you are trailering in to take a lesson, want to practice for an upcoming show, or want to hit the trails, Wyndham Oaks has plenty of space to ride. Our facilities include 3 distinct arenas: 

•  An oversized indoor arena (105’ x 200’) with translucent, hangar door windows to maximize air flow.  We have custom footing that is dragged and watered 2x daily to maintain an excellent riding surface. 

•  An oversized, outdoor arena with a full size dressage ring available for schooling Spring, Summer, and Fall. 

• Fenced jump ring. Nestled in the trees, this arena provides a more secluded setting and is ideal for starting young horses. Jumps are available for courses or gymnastic training. 

• Viewing areas and chairs for guests in each of the arenas. 

• Access to over 100+ acres of property to hack amongst the paddocks or exclusive equestrian trails for cool downs or cross-training. 

Molly Xanthopoulos’ career has been enriched by a great journey in horsemanship.   Her interest in the sport of dressage began in Houston, Texas where she quickly earned her USDF Bronze and Silver medals as a junior rider.  Molly competed at the North American Young Rider Championships four times, and in 1991, helped her Region 2 team win the gold medal.   

Molly’s riding education includes many years spent training in Europe at Reiterhof Moos in Salzburg, Austria as well as the breeding and training facility, Gestut Moosmuhle, in Weilheim, Germany.  She was given the opportunity to work under Gunnar Ostergaard at his Deerwood Farm in Vermont and in Copenhagen, Denmark.

After achieving a solid foundation in horse training, Molly developed her dressage training business in 1994 out of her own North Star Farm in Xenia, Ohio.  Her business grew into a successful home for horses and riders of all stages of training and diverse disciplines.  Molly has  started many horses under saddle and completed their education through Grand Prix. While training at her own farm, Molly earned her USDF Gold medal on a horse she imported as a three year old and trained herself.  In 2005-2006,  Molly took a year to intensively train in Bad Worishofen, Germany with Olympic Champion, Ulla Salzgeber.  Her riding and showing was supported back in the US by Scott Hassler.  Over the course of her riding career Molly has sought instruction from world renowned riders such as Nicole Uphoff, Debbie McDonald, Michael Klimke, and Ingo Pape.

In 2012, Molly decided to move her business to the East Coast and trains full-time out of Wyndham Oaks.  As the resident trainer, Molly accepts horses into training programs as well as teaches lessons to students of all levels and multiple disciplines.  Molly competes on her own horses as well as those of her clients at recognized shows all over Region 1.

As resident trainer, Molly is available 6 days a week (Tuesday-Sunday) and teaches evening lessons. She enjoys teaching all levels and has many trailer-in lessons.
