The Property
WRS’s New England-red barn features two wide aisles and accommodates 40 horses. A heated / air-conditioned lounge provides comfort for clients and guests to gather and relax. Two wash stalls complete with hot and cold water as well as radiant heating permit year-round usage. A large locker is assigned to each boarder providing two saddle racks, hooks, shelving, and plenty of storage space for tack and equipment. The spacious 80’ x 156 ’ indoor ring adjoining the barn via a covered walkway is a bright, airy space, making it a pleasure to ride in. The footing consists of a mixture of sand and fiber specifically designed to support the equine athlete with the right amount of support and cushioning while simultaneously minimizing dust. Also added in 2010 a NEW 22,000 SQ-FT outdoor arena is a great place to ride during good weather. A grassy field and miles of trails are also available for outdoor riding enthusiasts.
