Welcome to the yellow house on the hill overlooking our family horse farm. We own and operate a working horse boarding farm with activity year round. We live on property near this acreage so are readily available when needed. This farm has been a part of my life since 1982 when the barn was built. We look forward to sharing this beautiful property with you.
