Facilities
Take a virtual tour through Equidale Stable and see what facilities and services we have on offer for the discerning horse owner. We are well-equipped to host a variety of disciplines from Dressage, Eventing, and Hunter/Jumper. Equidale began with a small three stall barn and began expansion in 2017 with the construction of the new Main Barn and Indoor Arena. While fully operational, Equidale remains a work in progress as we build towards our long-term vision.
The Dressage Ring
New in 2025, Equidale’s outdoor Dressage Ring is a full competition-sized sand ring designed with generous outer dimensions (90 x 220) to reflect the feel and f low of a true show ring. Conveniently located beside the Main Barn, it offers easy access for daily schooling. Fiber footing from Premier Equestrian will be added in the first half of 2026, to further enhance the comfort and support of the horses. The Dressage Ring is flanked by a beautiful willow tree and flowering shrubs. A custom-made, extra large mounting block makes mounting a breeze for even the tallest of horses.
The Main Barn & Arena
A bright, well-ventilated barn housing 11 stalls, six of which are 14×12 and five are 12×12. Most stalls feature large, barred and screened windows that open to promote fresh air. A soaring 14ft cathedral ceiling is complimented by a series of industrial fans to maintain consistent air circulation. Wide 12ft aisles lead to a large washstall with hot and cold water, a dedicated grooming & tacking area with two crosstie stations, a tackroom, and a feedroom. Three entrances mark each wing of the barn. A larger tackroom and lounge are currently under construction as part of Equidale’s ongoing development.
The Jump Field
A spacious grass field adjacent to the Dressage Ring is great for casual schooling and jumping. In the summer the field is equipped with a full course of beautiful jumps from Burlingham Sports, constructed from lightweight but strong polyethylene for ease of use and positioning. A set of cavallettis benefits flatwork and gymnastic exercises across multiple disciplines, while the classic stone wall fillers and flower boxes add visual interest and variety to the jumps. The grass field is partially fenced on one side and flanked by a small copse of trees on the other.
Indoor Boarding
We offer Indoor Boarding at Equidale Stable. Each boarder benefits from a calm, relaxed environment and the peace of mind that their horse is treated like family. We take in only a limited number of horses in order to ensure they are treated as true individuals. Indoor Board at Equidale reflects the same high standards applied throughout the facility.

Our Boarding Philosophy
A Private Boarding Approach
Ever wanted to feel like you had your horses at home, where you didn’t have to compete for arena or crosstie time with two dozen other people? Equidale is our home that we are sharing with a select group of boarders who value that same independance and appreciate a calm, drama-free environment.
While predominantly Dressage-focused, our facility is well-equipped to support a variety of other disciplines such as Eventing and Hunter/Jumper. Our small group of boarders have the freedom to work with their own trainers & other professionals, and enjoy unrestricted access to the facilities without conflicting schedules.
