Horses and ponies were bought , trained and sold worldwide. Initially 6 stables, a hay barn and an outdoor arena were developed. Over the years this has evolved with the addition of a 16 stable American style barn, tack room, wash bay, viewing area, office, gallop track and indoor arena. In later years a round pen, pony pens and horse walker were added.
