***HUGE NEWS***
Sorry in advance - this is going to be a long post!
Over the past 3 months we have been working on a huge project! This week that project was completed and we are super excited!
Kilburn Lodge Equine Agistment now has lights! our 60m x 20m sand dressage arena is fully lit and ready for night riding!
This is an awesome addition to partner with our oversized sand round yard and jumping paddock!
But the best news.... this isn't just a great benefit to our wonderful agistee's on the property - we are now OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!
Unfortunately we are at max capacity with agistment (Plus a wait list of 6), but our facilities can be hired day or night by anyone!
