There is a large wash stall and two main aisles which are finished in brick with mats. Each stall has matted floors and water buckets with individual water spigots so water intake can be monitored.

The attention to detail and design is evident throughout the stable. The second floor of the stable has a large hay loft with sizeable storage space and hay drop.
The attached indoor riding arena has top-of-the-line GGT footing and is one of the brightest riding rings we have even seen. One end of the arena has a large viewing lounge which offers additional storage space. Each third window opens in the arena which enhances airflow and makes the arena comfortable for riding even in the summer.
Surrounding the barn is a circular drive-way which makes large truck deliveries an easy task. 8 paddocks with 4 run-in sheds are all convenient to the stable complex. Most of the paddocks have water hydrants and all of the fencing is in good repair.
In addition to the indoor arena, the farm also has a grass riding area plus a sand ring alongside the main driveway. The grass ring has a natural bank and two drop jumps.
The Farming Land and Hacking Field
To the west of the arena are two large fields (approx. 20 acres) that have been tended for many years by a local farmer. The western section of the farm has a wonderful hilly field which has manicured trails for exercising horses. Riders and horses alike love to go for a hack on this farm!
