Situated in Nobleboro on 30-acres, the farm boasts sixteen 10' x 10' box stalls in the main barn with an attached 100' x 200' indoor arena and a 100' x 200' outdoor arena. Both arenas are well maintained with new footing and regular dragging. In addition, the coverall design of the indoor allows for bright, airy, comfortable year-round riding.
