DYAN SOUTHERN started
her love of horses as a child, riding ponies. She began instruction with Connie
Arthur at Lone Tree Farm in Oakdale around 1988. She has pursued a breeding and
training business on her own for the last several years, specializing in draft crosses,
and now we are pleased to have Dyan as our barn manager. Stop by and visit
Connie, Dyan or the rest of our staff!
VISTA DEL RIO AND LONE TREE FARM
is a beautiful setting for your next outing, either to school your horse or just relax for
the weekend. Consider our facilities when it comes time to retire your horse, or lay
him up. Bring your trainer for schooling, or call for Connie's lesson schedule.
