Stables

Our barn is constructed of primarily concrete block coated with heavy duty epoxy-based paint. The epoxy-based paint allows for easy clean-up.  Most stalls have rubber matt flooring, minus a few stalls that are intentionally designed for contagious disease or the threat of such (it is very difficult to sanitize rubber).  Two stalls are equipped with overhead flow systems for continuous IV fluid therapy.  Three stalls are equipped with over-head hoists, although only one stall is in use at the moment.  There is a 12’ x 12’ induction room (drop stall) with 8 inch thick padding, used to induce anesthesia, recover horses from anesthesia, and/or to perform quick knock-down procedures.

We have three (3) small 24’ X 24’ paddocks located behind the barn.  Called our "No Run" turn-out, these paddocks are specifically designed to aid in the recovery of animals from injury or illness. No run turn-out is perfect for when a patient’s mental health will benefit from some time outdoors but their bodies must remain quiet.  Once ready, the patient can then spend some time in one of our one-acre private paddocks before graduating into an even larger space or heading home.
