Grand Prix Farms Facility Features Abundant Equestrian Amenities
This world-class, 60-stable, 14-paddock equestrian facility is located on one of the largest parcels of land in Grand Prix Farms, just a short hack from the Winter Equestrian Festival show grounds. The property was remodeled last year to include abundant amenities — a hot walker, a treadmill, a lunging area, a hunter arena and an oversized jumping arena with the finest footing available. The staff quarters feature five apartments for grooms and trainers, with 13 bedrooms and six baths between them. This includes an owner’s apartment, a manager’s apartment, a rider’s apartment and two grooms’ apartments.
Jumping Arena: There are two extra-large arenas, one of which is sand and the other features a privacy hedge. The U-shaped barn has been expanded to both the left and the right, taking best advantage of all nine acres of the property.
Manager’s Apartment: The manager’s apartment, located over the stalls, features two bedrooms and a balcony.
Storage Lockers: The oak-paneled cabinets to the left offer plenty of storage, while rubber mats are easy on horses’ hoofs.
Tack Room Area: Equipment trunks are located in front of the tack room, offering easy access to those on the go.
Walkway: Gracing the barn ceiling are light fixtures that would make any homeowner proud. The door to a groom’s apartment is to the left of the console.
Courtyard View: The courtyard view from the manager’s upstairs apartment is quite striking.
Pathways: This image, taken from the balcony, shows how the manager can survey almost the entire property from his or her apartment.
Equipment Lockers: Equipment lockers are strategically placed throughout the expansive barn area.
Breezeway: The stables have been situated with the ability to capture a breeze.
