Stabling

Wyvern Farm provides several types of accommodations depending on the needs of individual horses. Every effort has been made to recognize the value of social interaction for horses’ mental state, while at the same time creating environments that preserve harmonious equine relations.

• Four large paddocks with matted shelters are designed for retired horses or for young horses needing room to move.

• The 12-stall upper barn has 12x24” fully covered and matted stalls which have combination solid walls and grills to minimize conflicts among horses but to still provide an open feel.

• Ten 12x12 matted stalls are found surrounding the covered arena and have barred fronts to allow horses to be entertained by the activities in the arena. Half solid walls with bars between stalls allow horses to socialize safely, and may be modified to provide full walls if necessary.

• Each group of stalls has its own tack room, grain room and grooming areas.
Riding Facilities

Riding Facilities

• The covered arena is a short-court length (40 meters) with a viewing area and full mirrors. Footing is sand, rubber and “airfoot”. The covered arena has skylights and electric lights for day and night riding.

• At the front of the property is an Olympic size, all-weather dressage court, with sand and rubber footing, and a surrounding track equipped with cavaletti and stadium jumps for the more athletically inclined. This arena also has seating for riding clinics.

Both arenas are groomed daily.

• The 60 foot lungeing arena has sand footing and an all-weather base built over drainage to make it usable year-round.

Because horses are turned out regularly but may have different constraints on exercise, Wyvern Farm turnout paddocks vary in size from 20’x40’ to 60’x 130’. Four paddocks have seasonal grass, while four have sand footing. Fencing is double sided 3-rail wood with non-climb wire horse fence.
