The Barn

The barn is new and state Ford Dressage trains Hidden Heaven Farmof the art. We have 8 safely constructed and sturdy stalls. Stalls are 12x12 with rubber mats and fans. Each stall has a huge window which opens to the outside in addition to Dutch doors which also enable the horses to look into the wide center aisle. The partitions between the stalls have bars at the top so that the horses can also see their neighbors to the sides. The center aisle has a concrete floor and rubber mats in the grooming areas. There is also a wash rack equipped with both hot and cold water. Overhead skylights ensure that the barn is bright, and the large openings optimize ventilation. As a safety precaution, hay is stored in a separate building.
