Our Facility

The Barn

Our facility features heated, insulated 12 × 12 stalls with rubber mat flooring. Each stall includes a window facing the aisle and another at the rear. The barn is climate-controlled and boasts heated wash racks with hot and cold water, plus indoor bathrooms and an insulated arena. The aisles are finished with brick-paver flooring.

Stall bedding includes ample banked wood shavings, refreshed daily with small flake shavings. Each horse enjoys daily paddock turnout (weather permitting), with individual turnout offered for a minimum of eight hours per day. We handle blanketing, fly sheeting, and perform nightly checks.

Horses are fed three times a day with a high‑quality timothy–alfalfa hay mix, supplemented by grain and owner-provided supplements. Basic laundry service is available for horses boarded indoors.

A dedicated tack room includes saddle racks, bridle hooks, and space for tack trunks.

Nico and Caroline live on-site in the barn residence, providing 24‑hour oversight—offering clients true peace of mind.

Riding

Our outdoor ring is expansive and meticulously maintained, featuring premier sand and rubber footing, a full sprinkler system for optimal consistency, and daily care to ensure pristine conditions. Show quality jumps and thoughtfully designed courses elevate your training. The ring offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains for an inspiring backdrop. Additional outdoor options include a lush grass field for flatwork and fitness needs.

Inside, the insulated indoor arena offers climate-controlled comfort, making it ideal for winter riding. The high quality footing provides reliable traction and cushioning, whether you’re focused on flatwork or jumping.

Across our 44 acres, you’re welcome to ride anywhere on the property. Trail rides are always encouraged and offer scenic routes across varied terrain and enhancing your riding experience.

Amenities for Horse and Rider

For Our Horses:

At VDM, our commitment to the health and well‑being of show horses is unwavering:

We offer 34 individual turnout paddocks, ensuring each horse has space to move, graze, and socialize promoting both physical fitness and mental calm.
Weather permitting, every horse enjoys a minimum of six hours of turnout daily, and often longer, including overnight if preferred. This routine supports digestion, joint health, hoof strength, and helps prevent colic, ulcers, and behavioral issues such as cribbing or weaving
Horses are turned out individually, tailored to their specific health and temperament needs—because at VDM, each horse is unique.

To enhance daily care, we also provide:

A full-service horse walker, delivering consistent low-impact exercise that supports cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, and stress reduction.
Infrared solarium therapy units (× 3) used during tacking to gently warm the horse’s back, improving circulation and muscle comfort.
BEMER therapy blanket and boots, offering pulsed electromagnetic treatment to aid microcirculation, recovery, and overall wellbeing.

For Our Riders:

Our facility is designed to support both horse and rider with exceptional amenities:

High-speed Wi‑Fi is available throughout the barn and both arenas.
Permanent indoor bathrooms are conveniently located on-site.
A dedicated tack room provides saddle racks, bridle hooks, and secure space for tack trunks ensuring your equipment is organized and protected.
Comfortable outdoor seating areas are thoughtfully placed for spectators to relax and enjoy watching schooling and shows with ease.
