The update every horse person has been waiting to see!

As the framing continues for the next section of stalls, the wood panels have now been installed in the main aisle stalls — and they are officially finished!

It’s incredibly exciting to finally start envisioning horses being housed here in the coming weeks. Seeing everything come together step by step makes all the hard work worthwhile.

While the stalls are coming together, the grandstands are now gone as well! Stay tuned for the installation of the new ones.

Thank you again to everyone continuing to support these upgrades!

Another exciting update to share!

Once the storage was moved out, our amazing volunteers worked hard coordinating vehicles and trailers while progress continued inside the barn. During all the activity, the framing for the stalls in the main alleyway really started coming together.

As soon as the storage was cleared, Timberlake was back the very next day, and the next section of the roof in our main arena is now being replaced.

Step by step, we’re making great progress, thank you to everyone helping make it happen!

It’s been a busy few weeks around the grounds, and it’s time we caught everyone up on what’s been happening!

Our first update - the metal frames and lumber for our stalls arrived and although the stalls are already starting to come together, we think you need to see the process progress as we have, over the last few weeks!

It was a horse persons dream seeing these arrive.

Stay tuned as we share a series of updates and progress photos from around the grounds!
