Stall System

Climate-Controlled Rider & Staff Wing (~888 sq ft)

A fully finished, air-conditioned wing attached to the barn. Not utility space — this is where riders and staff actually spend time between sessions. Resin flooring throughout.

The rider experience here is the difference between a facility that attracts and keeps serious boarders versus one that loses them to the next barn down the road. Competitors don’t have this.
