Meet the Anna's Acres Team

---

Matilda Stout 

Maybe it started with a little China sorrel, a raincoat and boots covered in pink mustangs, or her very first Breyer horse. Maybe it was the first ride on her grandmother’s Belgian. Whatever the spark, horses real and pretend have been woven into Matilda’s life for as long as she can remember.

She grew up taking lessons and attending camps at the very facility where she now serves as Lead Farm Hand and an aspiring trainer. Time away from horses only deepened her passion, and today she spends her days caring for them, learning from them, and guiding others to do the same.

Some kids outgrow their miniature barns and plastic ponies. Some never do. Matilda is one of those who never did.

We at Anna's Acres couldn’t be prouder to have her as part of our family! 

Michelle Russell

From the time she was a teen, she rode fearlessly on her best friend’s trail horses. Those early rides sparked a lifelong love of horses that never left her heart. While her career path led her into the bowling and event industry for over 20 years, her passion for horses remained constant. Throughout her career, she has created and managed events for the Indianapolis Colts, Pacers, and Indiana Fever, while also coordinating celebrity functions across the country and raising funds for numerous non-profit organizations. She brings a wealth of experience in youth programs, non-profits, social media, and event planning to Anna’s Acres, where her lifelong passion and professional expertise come together. 

Andrea Weber

  She specializes in English discipline training, consignment, and riding instruction.

With a professional card and extensive experience gained from working alongside renowned trainers and Olympic-level coaches across the country, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our program.

Dedicated, detail-oriented, and passionate, she embodies the level of professionalism we strive for at Anna’s Acres. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rider, Andrea will help you reach your next level of success.
