Overview of building area of farm (approx. 5 of the total 100 acres).  Some areas can be clicked for more detail.

Five separate herd groups 

• Can separate according to disposition, gender, age, etc.
• In the unlikely event of a contagious disease being brought onto premises, likely to be contained to one group

 

A word about mud
If you come to our place during the spring thaw or the fall rains, you WILL see a lot of mud.  The horses will be covered with mud, their lower legs and hooves caked with mud.  I have often been embarrassed when a potential boarder comes to view our site during these times, but I shouldn't be.  What that should tell the potential boarder is that we value our horses' health and well-being above the condition and appearance of our pastures.  We would rather sacrifice our pastures than our horses.  Pastures are surprisingly resilient.  They do recover.  So if you look at a barn during these seasons and there is no mud, be aware that your horse will probably be kept in a stall during the periods when damage to the pastures could occur.

60' x 120' indoor ring

Our indoor ring has a sprinkler system.  The ring can be watered easily and quickly with the flip of a switch.  The control of dust has been amazing!
