Equestrian Facilities

The Rancho del Paso stables and equestrian facilities have been built to U.S. standards--generous size, quality materials, safe and secure, and easy to use...in addition to being beautiful and luxurious.  Over three-quarters of a million dollars has been invested to date in constructing these facilities for 10 lucky horses and their riders. 
 

Ten 12' x 12' stalls, open, airy, wll-lit, well-drained, thick bedding, feed and hay container off the ground, 2 water buckets, bracket for (owner-supplied) salt block

Attached 12' x 22' private paddock for each stall

Two grassy turnout areas with safe metal fencing, water troughs (cleaned weekly) with automated water dispensers, sun shelters with salt blocks.  Turnouts are watered all winter long to keep the grass green for good forage.  Horses turnout time is scheduled and rotated to keep the pastures green and healthy.

Feed room is 15' x 45' to store a full year's worth of quality hay

Boarders' lounge has a full bath plus fridge, sink for cleaning tackm cabinets to store medical supplies.
15' x 20' tack room has individual storage for each stall, well lit and well ventilated.  5 car parking area inside the secured and automated entry gate.

90' x 125' walled riding arena has a gravel base for drainage topped with a 10' layer of soil and sand, regularly-mowed grass on top of that to limit dust and puddles.

Round pen, dedicated horse wash area, vet stocks.
