River Wind Farm

A brand new full service equestrian facility with a custom insulated 28 stall barn, a 100' x 200' indoor insulated arena for all weather riding, lush pastures and miles of groomed trails located just minutes from Raleigh, Durham and Wake Forest.

River Wind Farm is owned and operated by Robert and Cynthia Blackley, long time equestrians, breeders and competitors. Their vision was to create a top quality facility that would provide riders of all ages the ability to pursue their love of horses in any discipline they choose.


Carrie Everly, Barn Manager and third generation horse trainer, provides top quality care for horses and the farm. "We treat all the horses as if they were our own" has always been her motto. She lives on site to guarantee the safety of your animal from the evening "bed check" to the inspection of turn-out and pastures for safety
