We are a small breeding and showing operation in the foothills of North Carolina with a small satelite farm in northeast Florida.  Our North Carolina facility is Brand New on 23+ acres.  All of our horses have been chosen not only for their conformation and pedigree but also for their temperament and athleticism.  Our foals have enjoyed great success in recent years in several different disciplines of competition from Halter and Longe line to the Open Jumpers.  Barefoot Farms may be small but we are certainly dedicated to improving the quality of horses available.  Our fourth generation of riders and trainers are growing up learning the ins and outs of horses from the ground up.

  We here at Barefoot Farms are looking forward to meeting you and any of your horsey needs.  Please feel free to contact us and we'll be happy to show you around.  We love to show off our kids!

          
  We are very proud of our Brand New facility.  The barn currently has 8 spacious 12' x 14' stalls with mats plus separate tack and feed rooms.  Each stall has an individual light and fan that can be controlled with a centrally located switch and timer.  The barn also has an extra large 16' wide concrete aisle way for ease of movement.  We have an outside concrete wash rack that is soon to be enclosed and hot water added.  There is a small  refrigerator for the barns use.  We currently have 3 improved pastures of varying sizes.  The 100' x 200' riding arena is under construction and there are several other projects waiting in the wings including an enclosed grass jump course, round pen, conditioning track, and wooded trails.  There are extensive trails for riding just across the street.

   All normal full board services are included in our monthly rate with additional services available by request.  Pasture board is also available.  Medical lay-ups, short term, or even just overnight boarders are welcome.  Stallions are also welcome, we know just how hard it can be to find a place willing to take a stallion no matter how well behaved.

  Our owner is a Registered Nurse with more than 25 years experience and a lifetime working with horses.  Our owner and barn manager are both in the barn on a daily basis so things run as smoothly as possible.

  Lessons are available at each of our locations.  We specialize in beginners and first time lesson takers.  We can take new riders from the very beginning to advanced showing.  Safety is stressed in all our lesson programs whether you showing at the Regionals, just learning the basics, or you're doing physical therapy.  You may take a lesson on your horse or ours or both!  We have rock steady physical therapy mounts to National level show horses.  Our lessons constantly change to keep up with the progress of our clients.  Children, teens, and adults are welcome to try our programs where mistakes are viewed as part of the learning process.  We don't talk down to anyone and we certainly don't expect you to know everything about horses and riding.  We like to make our lessons fun with a relaxed attitude.
