The Farm stretches across 140 acres of beautiful rolling pasture where the foals have ample room to run and play. Raising healthy youngsters and fueling the performance athletes in the barn requires excellence in nutrition. Much of the farm is under irrigation and thus is able to produce all of the yearly hay requirements in the fertilized coastal fields. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The main barn houses the stallions, show horses and covered riding arena. Just to the west of the main barn you can see the outdoor arena oval in the above arial shot. In addition, the main barn also houses the covered round pen (left), which is where the young horses begin their training lessons. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| The indoor arena (right) encircles the stalls in the main barn. Built with both comfort and safety in mind, it is equipped with sprinkler system for the track and temperature sensitive overhead ceiling fans. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 |
Care and comfort of the mares, foals and performance athletes comes first and foremost. The farm has various trailers fitted for just such special purposes. Capabilities include box stalls for mares and foals to air-ride, air conditioned and video monitored trailers for the long hauls. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Designed and built for comfort and air flow - the barn is open on three sides and the rolling hills almost always provide a gentle breeze. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Next to the main barn you will find the "mare motel" (right). This is where visiting mares stay during breeding season. It is equipped with large bright stalls that have paddock turnout doors. The mares and foals also enjoy various paddocks and pastures on the farm - their "room with a view". |  |
