Started in 1963 as a family operation for Phoebe and Lucy Craig, Switch Willo Stables has gradually grown throughout the years into the premiere full-service equestrian facility it is today. Located on 23 heavily wooded, beautifully landscaped acres in the heart of northwest Austin, the stable features 3 outdoor arenas, two lighted, plus the fun of a 5 acre hunt course. Easily accessible from MoPac, 183, 360, and IH 35, the driving time from downtown Austin is only about 10 minutes. While Switch Willo has expanded over time, it is still very much a family business. In fact, all the owners still live on the property, providing 24 hour supervision of the horses.

Glenn Johnson and Phoebe Craig Johnson are the resident experts, responsible for turning out consistently well prepared and successful riders.

Switch Willo is proud to be the home of numerous year end award winners at the local, state, and national level annually.

Each of the well-maintained stalls is near a tacking area along wide aisles in three barn areas. Each boarder receives space for their saddle and other tack in spacious lockers and tack rooms. Most stalls are along an outside wall with a window that can be opened for fresh air during the warm-weather months.

Horses are given the option of daily turnout in tree shaded paddocks, providing acceptable weather and turnout conditions. Turnout for horses is included in the regular boarding program. Each horse receives high-quality feed and hay, as required for the specific horse’s needs, as well as clean water on a daily basis. Stalls are cleaned on a

daily basis with wood shavings typically used for bedding. A worming program can be integrated into the daily feed program.

Watch our riders in a lesson from tree shaded porches with ample seating areas. Come experience the breathtaking beauty and unparalleled training expertise that is Switch Willo Stables.

Switch Willo participates in all Texas Hunter and Jumper Association shows, all local Central Texas Hunter & Jumper Association shows, in addition to numerous nationally ranked “AA” circuit shows.
