Board includes feed, cleaning, and full use of the services offered at the facility at which you are boarding. The horses are fed alfalfa hay twice a day. Other kinds of hay are supplied depending on availability and demand.

For safety and security reasons, there is a residence located at each facility which is occupied by ranch personnel. Each ranch has perimeter fencing and gates that are locked after business hours.

Horse trails in this area are plentiful and offer the rider a variety of choices ranging from easy comfortable trails to more challenging ones. The Angeles National Forest borders Middle Ranch on three sides providing a picturesque setting for trail riding. Trail access is available from all three ranches.

Because large ranches are a rare find in the Los Angeles area, many people think Middle Ranch is far from their homes. To the contrary, it is only two minutes from the 210 Freeway and close to many major cities in the Los Angeles area.

MAIN RANCH

The Main Ranch, 11700 North Little Tujunga Canyon Road, is largely dedicated to those interested in training and showing their horses. This facility has only box stalls. Most of the stalls measure 12 feet by 14 feet, with a few larger stalls measuring 14 feet by 18 feet. Every stall has a dutch door that opens so that the horses may look outside. The barns are made of concrete block, heavy timber trusses, and clay tile roofing. This combination of materials, along with a few strategically placed dormers, helps keep the horses more comfortable in the warmer months.

The Ranch provides individual tack lockers, cross-ties, hot walkers, wash racks, turnouts, and a jump chute. Also available are eight lighted riding arenas including two dressage arenas, a covered arena with 100 feet of continual mirrors, and a grass field which may be ridden on for practice prior to "away shows."

Main Ranch is extensively landscaped with trees, bushes, flowers, and grassy areas for your horse to graze.

NORTH RANCH

The North Ranch is located at the northern end of the property at 12878 North Little Tujunga Canyon Road, approximately one mile up the canyon from the other facilities. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal.

This facility offers box stalls, pipe corrals, and large paddocks with shelters. North Ranch has many beautiful trees, with a large lawn under several oaks which lends itself as a nice area for picnics. Amenities include individual tack lockers, grain rooms, hot walkers, cross-ties, wash racks, turnouts, and three lighted arenas. The horseback riding trails are literally just out the back gate, which is why so many avid trail riders prefer this facility.

Although this ranch attracts many pleasure riders, there are training barns with resident trainers of various disciplines for those who want to go into full training or take lessons on an as needed basis.
