In 2002, Westwind Equine Training Center began as a small, privately owned facility in Lenoir City, TN. The addition of Amanda Melton-Finger as our trainer brought the challenges of rapid growth. With only 8 acres and a 6-stall barn, it became apparent that, in order to provide the best care and opportunities for both our horses and riders, we needed more space. In late 2003 we purchased 38 rolling acres in Friendsville, TN. In the spring of 2004, having completed the 16-stall barn, fenced paddocks and outdoor arena, we moved horses, tack and riders.
