Feel free to call if you need any additional information about how to find us.
The Gallatin River Ranch Equestrian Center includes:
The grooming area is combined with a veterinarian approved, "safety first" treatment/examining area complete with examining stocks, emergency medical supplies, and medical refrigerator for all your horse’s "minor aches and pains."
As horse care evolves into the new millenium with alternative therapies, certified practitioners of equine massage, magnetic, chiropractic, accupressure and accupuncture therapies are available by appointment.
A well-lit designated shoeing area allows the farrier do his or her best work. When you groom and saddle your horse in one of the many tack areas, your own personal tack locker will be close by. If your horse requires vitamins, supplements, or any feed additive, they will be right at hand, stored in your feed locker at your stall. The 12' x 12' stalls also have rubber mats bedded with kiln dried shavings for optimum cushion. Water is provided by the best automatic heated waterer in the industry.
The facility also includes two 60' round pens, each with a viewing area. An outdoor arena, measuring 120' x 240', is also part of the Center.
Finally, the Equestrian Center also features a 100' x 200' indoor arena, which is geared for shows, clinics and demonstration in all disciplines.
