About the Facility
This newly established 22 acre show facility in beautiful St Augustine FL is home to a budding Hunter/Jumper program with a large focus in the Hunter/Equitation rings! This property currently has 18 stalls and is at capacity with plans to add another 8 stalls within the year for a total of 26 horses on property. They offer both full-service training board and standard board to their clientele and have an established group of A circuit Junior and Adult Amateur clients. This is a facility that believes in teamwork for all aspects of the horse and property care - and with 4 grooms a hands-on barn manager the Head Trainer and the owners of the facility the work stays manageable for all!
As this facility grows the show schedule will likely expand accordingly - but currently the team only spends about 10 weeks of the year on the road. This group primarily shows at the World Equestrian Center being only an hour and a half away - but also spends 2 weeks a year at both Tryon and Bowling Rock.
