The horses are housed within the seven separate barns, where each of the 68 oversized stalls feature a 14′ x 20′ walk-out paddock, drains, electrical outlet and water. Skylights throughout the barns let in natural light, while ceiling fans regulate the temperature. The barns are guttered and outfitted with commercial sprinkler systems. There are four covered wash-stall areas with ceiling fans and small paddocks.
