25-30+ horses in the program

All of our facilities and stalls are filled

Be able to accept more horses, more readily and not have to say “no” as often.

Promote Indiana

Education opportunities for people interested in racing and the horse industry

Large, year round clients supporting vets, Purdue Shelby County facility, farriers, agri-businesses etc.

Transition 20-25 horses per year

10-12 horses in the program at any given time

20 -25 open stalls at any given time.
