About Our Boarding Options
Below you will find a more detailed description about what our barns have to offer.
Main Barn
Our 28 stall main barn has 12x12 stalls with grain bins and automatic fly repellent dispensers. Our Hunter Jumper trainer, Hilary Johnston, is primarily based out of this barn. This barn has two tack rooms, as well as two cross ties, and is attached to our indoor ring.
Paddock Barn
Our 23 Stall paddock barn has 12x12 stalls with a spacious 12x12 paddock attachment. In each stall is a sliding door which opens up to each paddock as well. Within the barn is a tack room and three cross ties. Our dressage trainer, Nadine Pestana, bases her business primarily out of this barn.
Mare Motels
We have a total of 15 mare motels that run along our walking paths, underneath the trees. The biggest amount of space for our boarders at 24x24, this is a great option for horses that are more content with a larger amount of space. All mare motels have automatic water dispensers and grain bins as well. A wooden tack trunk is attached to all mare motels to keep blankets and any other ‘horsey clothing’ protected fin the conditions.
Private Barn
Built in 2018, our private barn comes only with eight stalls that have a 12x12 indoor stall and a 12x24 paddock attached for maximum comfort. A tack room, sitting room, private turnouts and private ring are all inclusive in this rate. Next to the barn are two cross ties, as well as an outdoor patio.
