Lots and lots of stables

Ok, this turned out to be so much longer than I originally planned!!! I wanted to spotlight a few beautiful stables and I found so many! I really could continue on and on. There really are some spectacular facilities out there.

I will start off with an absolutely over the top amazing facility...
Providence Hill Farm, Jackson, Mississippi. The centerpiece of the several thousand-acre property is a two-story barn made of Kentucky limestone with cypress beams and windows and a standing seam metal bronze roof. The barn has 36 (14’ by 12’) stalls, indoor and outdoor wash racks, grooming stalls and heated and air conditioned tack rooms, an office and a lounge, a Grand Prix jumping field with a bank, water jump, natural log jumps and over 35 other jumps; a 280’ by 180’ all-weather footing outdoor ring; a 250’ by 100’ covered arena; two grass footing arenas; and a covered European Walker with enclosed round pen. There are tons of beautiful pictures on their website under tour facility. Board is only $550.00 per month (includes feeding, stall cleaning AND turnout). Are you kidding me??? The board at my barn is higher than that and it looks like a pack mule station in comparison. I'd consider moving to Mississippi just to ride here!
