Our Facility

Chestnut Farms has two buildings dedicated to our horses. The “pole” barn has 5 oversized stalls measuring 10x20. These large stalls provide extra space for pregnant mares, big, or stall bound horses. Our remodeled “old barn”, with its bright and airy 12x12 stalls, is very horse friendly.  Both barns sit safely inside a fenced and gated yard.

Year round the horses have access to shelters and clean, fresh water. Even though our horses stay outside as much as possible, our facility allows us to bring them inside in the event of inclement weather or needed stall rest.

Our pastures have been planted to provide nourishing grazing from spring to fall. The horses are rotated daily from their “dirt” pasture- which is close to the buildings during the night, to their “grazing” pastures during the day. This daily routine not only rests the pastures to ensure the highest quality grazing, but also allows every horse to be handled daily. Fresh water, salt and mineral blocks are free choice.

In the winter months we feed grass/legume hay, supplemented with grain, salt and mineral blocks. Daily interaction with each horse allows us to recognize potential problems early.

For training we have a 60’ round pen and an 80x140 outside arena. There are seasonal, mowed paths throughout the property, and we are located within an hour of five fantastic trail riding areas.

We work hard to provide our horses with a variety of training experiences which, in turn, makes them a better riding partner.
