About Us

Owners Renée and Chris Ruder have an abiding love of horses. This love stems both from Renee’s years of riding Western and dressage, and playing polo while at University, as well as their two daughters’ current pursuits in the hunter and jumper rings.

Westminster seeks the finest sport horses for the hunter, jumper and dressage rings. Not only does Westminster value breeding lines, but we understand the importance of performance records both in Europe and the United States. We hold ourselves to the highest standards when operating our business and are privileged to pair our amazing horses with potential clients.

We are thrilled to announce our move to Capstone Equestrian located in beautiful Bend, Oregon.  Our trainers, Lindsey Patton Garner and Tara Nicolescu, have years of experience in the show ring, including hunters, jumpers and equitation.
