| Custom Horse Barns The original barn restored and the design is from barns built in the 1800's. It 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. |
