A Welcome From Cindy Italiaander

Welcome to Fox Crossing Equestrian, a lifelong dream of mine! Animals have been my passion since I was a little girl, and I learned early on that the bond between these loveable four-legged creatures and people is something that creates memories for a lifetime. So in 2008, I purchased the former Morris Equestrian Center, and the dream was born.

What started as a run-down, backyard stable and a labor of love transformed into a space for my two boys to learn to ride. I soon realized that this new "hobby" took on a life of its own, and should be enjoyed by the entire community as a place to give kids experiences that are safe, educational, and fun. Part of my vision was to make Fox Crossing a place where riders of all ages learn to ride and share their experiences with their friends and family, and I believe we have achieved that goal.

Today Fox Crossing is a premiere hunter/jumper riding facility — home to nearly 40 boarder and lesson horses, where literally thousands of children and adults have developed their riding skills over the years. I am committed to ensuring a knowledgeable, passionate staff to work with our riders in a fun, safe, and nurturing environment while honing their skills with our horses. I am at the barn every day and here to work alongside our wonderful team to promote a love for these wonderful animals and your riding experience.

I hope you will contact me with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you out at the barn soon. Thank you.
