Horse Facilities
Guest comments:
Marci, We just wanted to say thanks again for our wonderful stay at the Gates Cabin. Thanks for your warm hospitality and for introducing us to the beautiful trails of the middle Buffalo. Larkin and I had another good ride on your place before we left this morning. It was hard to return home to our workaday world, but what great memories we have! Larkin and Pam October 2008

Our horse facilities are, I hope, everything you would expect to take the best care of your horses during your stay at our historic cabins and historic farm house. As horse lovers and avid trail riders we have tried to think of everything that will make your horses stay comfortable. Everything that we would expect when we take our horses and travel away from home. If you think of something that would make our facility better please let me know, I am always open to new ideas!:o)
We are set up with (8) 10x20 horse paddocks on the cabin side of the road and (2) 10x20 paddocks at the historic farm house. 2 horses can easily be put together in one paddock if they get along. If the cabins are full with your friends and family and you still have friends or family that want to join you to ride the beautiful Buffalo River, they can bring their live-in trailers and park in the field. They will need to bring a generator for heat and air. They can also HIGH-LINE horses between trailers.
There are 2 water spigots close to all paddocks. Muck buckets are provided for water. They are kept in the middle of the old barn. Just put them back when you are finished with them! Thanks!
As far as feed goes, you will need to bring your own. Only because we do not live on the premises. If we did I would happily provide hay and crimped oats.
We have a beautiful grass field between the 2 cabins where you are welcome to hobble your horses and let them graze. Not too much though! See information on the "barefoot horses" pages.

2 (10'x20') pens with water close by. These are the 2 pens by the historic barn.
This is the pretty grass field between the cabins!
Hi Marci, I am still revelling in the wonderful time I had at the cabin and riding on the Buffalo. Your sense of hospitality and care in the furnishings and well stocked cabin was amazing. I'm glad you we able to come ride with us and will certainly give you a call when we are in your neck of the woods on the Upper Buffalo. Keep up the effort with your young filly, never give up, slow and steady makes a good saddle horse! Reba Potee October 2008

20'x20' pen with 2 gates. I may divide this one so there would be 2 (10'x20') pens. Water close by!
