The Grey Barn
Ashland Farm's Grey Barn is a new sport horse eventing facility on an old, beautiful, 430 acre family farm.
We offer full board, individual and group teaching, Pony Club rating preparation, and a variety of schooling shows, focused on eventing, but including the needs of dressage riders, and hunter/jumpers in need of show exposure.
Our barn is large, very tall, with 20 stalls, 2 washracks w/ hot & cold water, comfortable amenities,and excellent natural light and ventilation as well as individual stall lighting and whole barn mechanical ventilation. We have a large, lighted (Photo by Rusty Rhodes - 2004) sand arena with jumps, excellent pastures, several large fields w/ well established turf for conditioning and galloping, and miles of trails around the lakes and through the woods for daily hacking.
This year (2005) we are expanding our ability to host schooling events and clinics. Roger Haller, who designed the 1996 Olympic equestrian course, is developing our cross country courses, expanding and increasing the complexity of what we already have, adding banks, ditches, possibly a water jump, and additional fences. We are also building three new arenas -- two dressage and one show jumping -- on Blackberry Hill, next to our cross country courses in the North Gate Pasture. Most of our 2005 competitions will be held in this new Blackberry Hill area. (2005 Schedule of Events)
