About the Facility
This beautiful and well-equipped 70 stall training center in Southwest Kentucky is set up to support a thriving training and breeding program! With both indoor and outdoor arenas, ample turnout space, on-site breeding facilities and foaling stalls, and easy access to top quality vets and farriers this is the ideal setting for an established professional looking to grow a program - or a former assistant trainer who is ready to strike out on their own! The owners of this facility have a handful of their own horses to start in training with this individual, with capacity for as many as 20 horses in training. The family behind this opportunity is thoughtful, committed, and focused on building something meaningful - a program grounded in excellent horsemanship, a strong work ethic, and treating people (and animals) with true care.
