Paddock Information

OF currently has 50 specialized stallion paddocks, constructed out of heavy-duty wooden fence, 6' high with six boards on each side to prevent fighting in-between stallions. Your studs are rotated throughout the paddocks whenever you decide during the show day, to allow each to work off their energy, as well as grab a quick bite to eat. As in every paddock, there is a stock tank full of water available at all times.

Our other misc. paddocks are used for the other horses, i.e. yearlings, and mares . The mares that get along with each other reasonably well are usually placed in the pond-side paddock, where they may graze contentedly on lush grass. If you decide not to turn your horses out during the show day thats fine too.
