About the Facility 

Private 70 acre dressage facility. 10-11 ponies and dressage horses plus one donkey. Beautiful, state of the art facility featuring several large pastures, individual oversized stalls with attached dry lots, smaller rehab turnouts, and a center-aisle barn designed for function AND form. This is a private facility which is not open to guests or visitors, and does not welcome outside horses. The owner, having relocated from Wellington in order to give her horses a more enjoyable life, is looking for someone who understands the quality of a top class dressage facility while looking for the laid-back atmosphere of a private, home farm. Her horses are her passion and joy and she gives them the best she has to offer in all settings!
