The elegant 16 stall timber frame barn has an attached 200 ft by 72 ft (60m x 20m) indoor arena, with premium imported 100% dust free GGT footing. We have an outdoor 300 x 250 foot sand jumping arena and a regulation sized 20x 60m outdoor sand dressage ring.
Arena & Tack Room
A 1800 square foot climate controlled viewing lounge in the barn overlooks the indoor arena. The insulated barn has 12×12 wood stalls with the option of custom euro stall fronts or full stall fronts and all have rubber mat flooring. Each stall features individual lighting and cooling fans. We use wood pellets and pine shavings. Feed and hay are fed twice daily, hay is thrown mid day also if needed. Board includes individualized feeding program and turnout, electrolytes daily, and sand clear 7 days each month.
The barn offers a full climate controlled tack room, featuring a full restroom including a shower, and tack lockers for each client. The heated wash stall features hot and cold water, and the barn has generous rubber paver aisleways inset into the concrete aisle.
We’re proud to share our joy and passion for dressage riding at our 150 acre equestrian estate.
Our Trainers & Training Resources
Get access to world-class dressage trainers and horses at Castle Farm.
Britta Johnston, a Grand Prix Trainer & International Clinician, supervises dressage training of horses and riders at Castle Farm. She works closely with our trainers to keep our education on the right track according to traditional German principles. The progress that we have made since Britta has been training us is simply astonishing. She is generous in her knowledge and very motivational. Her focus is on proper biomechanics of the rider to influence the horse correctly and sequential gymnastic exercises to strengthen the horse’s skeleton and progress the horse’s training. She teaches Intro level through Grand Prix and enjoys working with riders and horses at all levels! Britta has committed to monthly clinics at our facility for our clients and outside horses and riders if space allows.
We host regular dressage clinics with international quality instructors and dressage shows at our Maryland equestrian estate.
Our boarders are encouraged to suggest other top trainers for clinics and upon approval, are welcome to bring their own trainers to Castle Farm for regular teaching. Our goal is education and we enjoy learning from a variety of qualified instructors!
