Horse Facility Features

The 36’x36’ horse barn, with additional 12’ overhang, was built by Morton Buildings Inc and completed in spring 2023. It was built to be aesthetically pleasing, safe and functional. The exterior is designed to complement the house with metal roof with skylights, Hardy Plank and stone. Sliding double barn doors with windows are at each end; the tack/feed room also has a separate exterior entrance. The barn contains three 12’x12’ stalls by Classic Equine Equipment with rubber matting and Dutch doors. It includes a 10’x12’ wash rack with sink and hot water, a 10’x12’ storage area for barn tools and weekly hay, and a 16’x12’ feed and tack room. The 12’ wide aisle is brushed concrete, as are the floors of the well-drained wash stall, tack and feed room and storage area. Each stall is equipped with a wall-mounted King Air fan with enclosed motor to reduce maintenance and any fire risk. The barn hose, hose reel and nozzles are from Eley. Barn lighting is ample, and provided by 10 Sylvania 40 watt LED Vapor Tight fixtures to resist dust and corrosion. The stall doors open into a dry lot, with Lighthoof Mud Management system installed. The dry lot is 36’x42’, fenced with vinyl coated pine. The dry lot has a gate to a pasture of close to 5 acres. The pasture is fenced with four strands of electro-braid, charged with an electric fence box and run through conduit installed in line posts set in concrete. A Nelson automatic waterer services both the dry lot and the pasture. There are five gates on the pasture perimeter, and trees provide ample access to shade and shelter. Near the barn is a metal storage building for hay, shavings or other barn needs. There is a large turn around area for horse trailers or large vehicles.
