We offer full board, training board, training, instruction, horses for sale and a show facility. We primarily specialize in English riding (eventing, dressage & jumping); of course, the facility is available to all equestrian disciplines.

In 1997, the farm opened its 20-stall main barn, which is used primarily for horses in training. It has three hot-and-cold wash stalls, a heated-and-cooled tack room and rubber-paved aisles. All stalls are 14x14, rubber matted, and have a fly-spray system and automatic waters. We provide a custom-feeding program, including administration of supplements as directed. All stalls are maintained daily and horses are turned out each day (conditions permitting) in one of the eight pastures located near the barn.

Also located close to the barn are three arenas. A 150x250 lighted arena is perfect for jumping and general workouts and has a rubber/sand footing on top of packed crushed stone dust. A dressage arena is located on the opposite end of the barn and has the same footing as the large arena. Another sand arena is located directly behind the barn and is used primarily for warm-up.

The show facility is easily accessed from the main barn, but is also self-contained. The show barn has 224 stalls, each 10x12 with rubber mats. The stalls are galvanized metal construction with wood kick boards. Each stall has its own switched-light and an outlet on a separate circuit (bring as many bucket heaters as you want). There are 58 water hydrants conveniently located throughout the barn and a 12-stall wash rack is nearby. And for those that like to sleep close to their horse, we have camper hook-ups with electric and water service. The restroom building (with indoor plumbing) and hot-and-cold showers is a nice convenience for the 2-legged part of the team. Also located by the show barn is a concession stand, complete with a full-service kitchen.

Easily accessed from these buildings are three arenas with Premier Cushion Track Waxed Sand Footing. The large arena (250’x300’) can be used for 3 dressage arenas or a large show jumping area. The warm up area (140’x230’) can easily accommodate a full size dressage arena or a show jumping arena. The third arena (130’x260’) can also accommodate a full size dressage arena or also be used as a show jumping area. In addition to the three Premier Cushion Track Waxed Sand arenas is a large grass showing jumping area.

The cross-country course provides different tracks for all levels, from beginner novice to advanced. There are two water complexes (one with a running waterfall) and many other unique obstacles. We have paid particular attention to the footing and are sure that you and your horse will enjoy galloping across the course. The cross-country courses were designed by Tremaine Cooper and constructed by Greg Schlappi. The facility is available for schooling, weather permitting, but you must call first to confirm availability.

Currently the farm offers recognized competitions in Eventing and Dressage. Schooling Shows and Clinics are also scheduled throughout the year. Check our website at www.poplarplacefarm.com for our show schedule.
