Owners
Cece Flint, the visionary who put Willow Glen Equestrian Centre on the map, will never be forgotten. She was an extraordinary horsewoman with unmatched skill and a heart of gold. I’m incredibly grateful to have known her and to have shared her final year at the Ranch. Her legacy lives on not only in the Centre she helped build but in the many lives she touched through her passion for horses and riding.
