Our concept was to build an equestrian training center, but not just any equestrian training center. This one would be the ultimate training center, complete with:

  • A 20,000-square-foot small and large animal veterinary clinic

  • State-of-the art barns complete with offices and living quarters

  • Spacious turnout paddocks with each barn

  • A 150 x 250-foot arena

  • A 6½ furlong training track sanctioned by Louisiana Racing Commission for official workouts

  • A luxurious 70-stall rehab facility

  • Foaling and boarding facilities available to hundreds of horses

The full-service facility would be on a historic and picturesque 210-plus-acre property with rolling hills, walking trails, and lush, tree-lined pastureland. And it would be situated in an ideal location, central to all of the major racetracks in Louisiana. We achieved this dream when we opened in September 2010 with outstanding success, and are proud to be a part of the Louisiana racing community.
