Are the southwest breezes picking up the manure pile odors and sending them into your kitchen window?

As we wrap up 2020 talking about how we can improve our horses’ wellbeing by improving their environments, today’s discussion is a continuation of that theme with a focus on property design.

Historically, most horse farms were designed and built with human needs in mind, The horses’ needs weren’t necessarily ignored, but they were (and often still are) secondary in the design and planning phases of equestrian properties. But, as we build new farms and update existing ones, we have the chance to change that. We have the chance to create properties that allow our hoses to live within the human construct while still satisfying their basic needs; needs that, when met, create happier, healthier, and better performing athletes– in all disciplines and at all levels.

This is the first in a series on designing horse farms for the 21st century. Our guest is award-winning Landscape Architect, Deborah Cerbone, who will walk us through some of the essential things to consider when first looking at building or renovating a horse farm. Listen in!
