Planning on coming to the Mountaineer Open Horse Show Series? Today’s the day to get the rest of your stall, bedding, and camper hookup requests in. It is also a good day to remind you to email your proof of negative Coggins test and vaccine records showing proof of our required vaccinations to enter our facility.

Swipe to see what is required and the biosecurity guidelines for our property.

Thank you all for being organized, saving us time to check in, and working to keep everyone safe while we horse show this summer.

The geldings take their mid morning nap time seriously and we can’t help but think they are more comfortable on the StableComfort stall mattresses.

They were relatively easy to install and trim in. We used the 12x12 kits in our box stalls and the 12x24 kits for our foaling stalls. We can’t wait to see how they hold up to hoof traffic and how it impacts our bedding costs and the horses comfort this year!

The stall mattresses were sourced from American Stalls. Swipe to see the installation process and Abner’s before and after 🐴💤
