Custom Boarding Barns
The original barn restored and the design is from barns
built in the 1800's. Boarding Stable features a gabled roof,
antique stained glass imported from England and brick isle
ways.

Stalls are 12 x 12 or 13 x 13 with or without runs and
include 1.5" rubber mats. Stalls have automatic waterers.
The brick provides traction and can be wet down during hot
summer days to cool barns.

Barns were positioned to catch the delta breeze at night.
There is a fly spray system and fans are available in the
summer and stall lights to keep horses coats down are
available in the winter months.
Barns have individual
tackrooms & grain rooms.
Borders get their own large
tack closet to safely store
their saddles and tack in.
Personal Tack Rooms
At the Historic Nelson Ranch, horses are our
specialty and priority.  Horses are feed twice
daily at 7 am and 5 p.m. We only buy top quality
hay. We offer your choice and combination of
alfalfa, alfalfa/grass, rye or 3 oat mix.  We
purchase quality hay from local growers for the
entire year, so horses have a consistent diet.
Grain areas are available for safe storage of
grain and supplements. We offer custom feeding
programs tailored to your horses needs.
The Historic Nelson Ranch offers 5 large riding
arenas.  All have sandy loom footing, which
means no mud!  The large outdoor arena is
set up with return alleys and holding areas.  
The footing is excellent in this arena and is
heat engineered to prevent packing, soft and
allows horses to breakover properly.  The
jumping arena is has firmer sand footing.  The
large indoor has an all purpose sand footing.  
There is a trail arena. There is a CD / I-pod
system for borders to play music while they
ride.  There is a smaller 200 X 150 warm up
arena and 2 - 50' round pens with sand
footing.  There is easy access to trails along
Cache Creek.
Riding Arenas
There are three 1.5 acre turnout pastures.  Irrigated and non-irrigated sand pastures are available for borders
