Please note, we cater to the horse, not the human. So for the safety and comfort of our horses, we do NOT have heated stalls or heated arena. (Exceptions made for early foaling mares) We prefer our horses NOT be exposed to the dangerous ammonia and humidity levels present in heated stalls and/or arenas. Talk to your vet and you will find that horses are healthier/happier outside. However, if you have a show horse that needs a stall, we have a clean, healthy, well ventilated facility for them also!!
