Description
About the Glenwood Equestrian Center
Dorothy Wise and John Broadwood, the owners, bought the boarding stable in May 2001. Our goal is to create a first-class equestrian facility providing the highest quality training and riding instruction in a safe, fun, and attractive environment.
About the owners
Dorothy started riding at the age of 7, and trained at Foxfield for many years. While earning her Computer Science degree at Princeton University, she rode on their intercollegiate team. She worked for various software companies for 20 years. While working in Colorado, she owned an Anglo-Trakehner with whom she did eventing and dressage. She sold her horse and quit riding after the birth of her first child. She eventually moved to California to work at Borland in Scotts Valley. In 2000, she retired from her position as Sr. VP of Development at Agile Software just prior to the birth of her third child. After purchasing this property, she started riding again and bought Rascal (aka Good Vibrations). Her goal now is to compete in eventing, dressage, and hunter/jumper shows.
John was a Real Estate broker for 25 years. To his friends, though, he is the 'tool guy', extremely knowledgeable about construction, woodworking, and anything mechanical. When we bought this property, he too retired from his career, after which he applied his skills to making the many improvements to our facility, leading to our becoming a demonstrastion site for Ecology Action. John is actively involved as the barn manager and oversees the day-to-day operations at GEC.
