Lisa Forman resides in Pompano Beach, Florida and trains in
Weston & Wellington, Florida for Windmill Stables. She has
been a professional in South Florida for the last 17 years, riding,
training and selling horses. She has taught at all levels, both
children and adults in the hunter, jumper and equitation divisions.
Lisa has started, shown, and sold many horses that have gone
on to have very successful show careers and her riders have won
many local, state and zone championships in the hunter,
jumper, equitation and pony divisions.
Lisa stays busy judging. She has judged many of the top horse
shows in the US and Canada, including The National Horse Show,
The Winter Equestrian Festival, several shows that were World
Championship Hunter Rider weeks and Maclay Regionals. Last
fall she judged the CPHA Equitation Finals in California.
Michael O. Page has been a force to reckon with in the
equestrian world for over a half century. Since winning the
AHSA Medal Finals in 1956 (now called the Pessoa USEF
Medal), he has made excelling in the horse world his calling
card. A three time Olympic Medalist and a six time Pan
American Game Medalist, he served as Chairman of the USET
Selection Committee and as Chef d’Equipe for the United
States three day event riders at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul,
the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, two Pan American Games
and two World Championships. Michael was also the coach of
the 1976 Canadian Olympic Team at the Montreal Olympics.
Highly respected and in constant demand internationally, he
has judged the ASPCA Maclay National Equitation Finals
seven times and the National Intercollegiate Finals four times. In additional to judging he conducts
riding clinics nationally, coaches and rides at major East Coast horse shows and continues to ride
and teach daily. Mr. Page is also the Resident trainer and Instructor at the Kent School, Kent, CT.

Propane makes life easier on the farm…Hose your horse down after a strenuous schooling or competition but rather than using
ice cold water from the hose, adjust the water to a comfortable temperature.
Portable & Installed Propane Water Heaters
Imagine your best friend, your horse and you, riding in comfort on brisk New England day in your heated indoor arena…heating the work shop for your farrier and vet to make farm
calls in comfort…providing a heated area for injured or ill equine friends to recover…or maybe just warming a viewing room for your arena, all made possible with propane.
Radiant, Convection or Forced Warm Air Propane Heaters
Reduce the mosquitoes and other harmful, biting insects that may carry diseases on your farm.
Mosquito Magnet®
Imagine building a barn but cold weather is approaching? No problem, we have temporary heat solutions to keep you going on even the coldest days.
Temporary Heaters, Propane Tanks & Automatic Deliveries
