“I can’t recommend Country Wood Stables highly enough! Courtney was so helpful, communicative and truly goes above and beyond for her clients. One of the best things about purchasing a horse from CWS is that they truly do what is best for the horse. My horse came in excellent body condition and perfect health. I can’t wait for years of memories and fun with my special little mare. Thank you CWS!”
– Mia Terry
“We absolutely love Courtney and her daughter Presley and are thrilled to be a part of the Country Woods Family! As an equestrian myself, I have trained with my fair share of riding coached, but our experience with Courtney has been above and beyond anything I’ve had before. She is incredibly knowledgeable, and safety is always first and foremost. I love watching her with my 6-year-old daughter. She is a calm, kind, and patient teacher and I have complete confidence in every step of the process.
We purchased our lovely, saintly, and super fun pony from her a few months back and could not be happier with the experience. Courtney has a keen eye for equine talent. The horses that she selects are all impressive. She is also honest, fair, and fantastic at matching horse and rider. Our little guy has been nothing but the best since we adopted him into our family, and we are confident that he will be a great fit for years to come.
Anybody considering and trusting Courtney with regards to all things equine should do with the utmost confidence.“

“I cannot say enough good things about Courtney with regards to her representation in horse sales. She is professional, honest, and has a fantastic knowledge of ponies. She has helped me to both purchase and sell ponies on several occasions, and most recently I bought a pony for a client based solely on Courtney’s recommendation and a 20 min video call.The pony we bought was exactly as Courtney described, and my client is delighted. Courtney is extremely patient and fair; I would without hesitation recommend her for their horse sales or purchases. Thank you Courtney; you rock!!!!”

“My family and I are so thankful to Courtney for pairing our 9 year old daughter with Polly Pocket. In my 18 month search for the “right” hunter pony, no other trainer was as honest, helpful and knowledgeable as Courtney. It’s clear Courtney deeply cares most about matching the rider and pony. She was spot on with Polly / our daughter match … Courtney clearly has a gift! Every step with Courtney was professional and honest. From lease to purchase, Courtney seamlessly navigated each process for us as first time buyers. Incredible communication and transparency at every turn. Courtney, we cannot thank you enough.”
– Lisa Jaggars
“It was a wonderful experience dealing with Courtney. I felt she always had mine and my pony’s best interest at hand. She was great at communicating with me and informing me of possible leads. I could trust that my pony was given the best of care. I sent my pony to Country Woods Stables on consignment, and Courtney was able to procure a paid lease with a months time to a wonderful home in Southern California. It was seamless, and very positive all around.”
– Kelsey Campbell, Collingwood Stables BC
“I now have two clients who have purchased ponies through Courtney, and both times we were impressed with her professionalism and honesty. Both ponies were 100% exactly as Courtney described them. She was very patient with us searching for a bit of a unicorn, and we always felt she truly had our best interests at heart – she wanted us to find the right one just as much as we did!”
– Jen Rosin (DeNovo Training)
“Working with Courtney to buy our pony was a great experience. She was honest, responsive, and very forthcoming with all information! I have never experienced such a an honest trainer when buying a pony. We love our pony! I highly recommend her and would absolutely work with her again!”
– Rachel Coit Cohen
“When our daughter outgrew our pony Melodie we sent her down to Country Woods in California on consignment. Courtney was fantastic to deal with, trust worthy, and professional. She was able to procure a sale in only two weeks time, not only to a wonderful Southern California home, but also for full asking price. Our pony received the very best care while she was at Country Woods, and Presley rode the pony like a little pro during the marketing process. I highly recommend using Courtney as an agent whether its buying your next horse or consigning. It was a straight forward and successful journey, and I will definitely use Courtney’s help again.”
– Stacie Banks
“We are so happy with our purchase of Daisy. She is super! We totally love her! Maggie is head over heels and they were so cute together at their first horse show. I will definitely buy through Courtney again and pass her number along to others to recommend when buying horses.”
– Laurie Jueneman
“Thanks to the dedicated work of Courtney, my mare has been successfully sold to a loving show home. Courtney found my horse for me, spent countless hours coaching me and training her, arranged several Gold shows to demonstrate the horse’s talent and when it was obvious the horse loved her job, and because I don’t show, she put her heart and soul into marketing my horse to ensure she was suitably placed. I know Courtney spent a great deal of time tailoring advertisements and talking to trainers and I feel so very fortunate to have had such a principled and ethical trainer.”
– Jan Maynes
“Such a great facility! Loved trying out the sales ponies. Found Squishy and absolutely love him!! Highly recommend. Will be back when looking for another horse or pony”
– Marika Eide
“Courtney was a brilliant help, finding our pony the best new home that was perfectly suited for him. When our family had to relocate to the UK, she made the whole process seamless, taking extremely good care of Timbit before finding him his new family in a short period of time. We are very grateful for her help!”
– Gemma Hancock
“Recently we purchased a pony through Courtney Orzen of Country Woods Stables. We found Courtney to be very professional and easy to work with. What we were most impressed with though was her honesty. Our pony Timbit has turned out to be exactly the pony Courtney described to us, his positive characteristics and even his little quirks. I know that if I ask Courtney a question she will tell the absolute truth. It is obvious that she wants to see her ponies make the best possible matches so that they go to long term loving homes. Courtney Orzen knows how to produce top quality children’s ponies. I would recommend Courtney to anyone looking for an awesome kids pony.”
– Nicole Rogers
“We contacted Courtney regarding a cute pony we had seen advertised for sale for our daughter. The initial response in return from Courtney was very informative and honest. We had many questions to follow and at each point the information we requested came with both prompt and thorough answers. We received many photos and videos helping us to decide whether to make the trip to visit the pony. These were invaluable in our decision making process. We met Courtney face to face and she provided a welcoming and very professional viewing. Again, further to this visit we had more questions and still Courtney was so helpful and accommodating. Our whole pony purchasing experience was so smooth and easy and we put this down to Courtney’s caring and professional manner and business. Courtney really seems to take pride and care in each pony that passes through here care. We can only hope our daughter doesn’t grow out of ponies so we can use Courtney again. Thank you Country Woods Stables for such a positive experience.”
