About the Facility
Our facility is now complete and we are able to offer our full range of services. The facility was designed with the safety and comfort of our horses and clients in mind. Our spacious indoor arena and attached barn are well-lit, insulated, heated, and ventilated. We also have a large 90x200 outdoor arena and open green space with access to ~300 acres of trails.​
​
Our barn includes indoor stabling, groom stalls, a hot and cold wash rack, and bright high ceilings. The tack room offers boarders tack lockers and blanket storage. We also have a large finished viewing area with an attached bathroom and coming soon a laundry room.
Our large semi-private paddocks have round rail, electrified fences to separate horses, and contain a mix of flat sections and gentle hills - this encourages muscle conditioning and ensures that the paddocks remain well drained. All paddocks contain heated auto waterers, and large custom shelters. In addition, there is pasture space for turnout and trail riding. Lochend Stables does not offer pasture board as we prefer to give all horses the opportunity to have some field turnout if desired.
