SQF is situated on 85 acres in beautiful Carroll County, Maryland surrounded by agricultural lands.  The facility has the capacity to stable 30 horses including Dona's own personal horses.  Since many boarders own more than one horse, the average number of boarders is about fourteen.

Two barns located in close proximity to one another are open designed barns with each horse's stall open to the outside.  This provides a healthier environment for the horses.  The stalls are seperate from the indoor arena, giving the horses a mental break frm the stimulation of noise and activity.  Each stall has stall guards and dutch doors.  The "courtyard barn" is shaped like a U, and the "silo barn" has 11 stalls in a row.  The stalls in both barns are matted and bedded with sawdust and shavings and range from 12'x13' to 12'x15'.  Both barns have fly sysytems and grooming areas.  You will quickly get spoiled by the amenities open to all boarders!  A heated tack room,  wash stall with hot & cold water and heatlamps, a cozy kitchen with a fridge and microwave, a bathroom with a shower and  washer & dryer useage.

There are 4 riding rings available at SQF including a 66'x132' indoor arena with lights and mirrors which i s located near the barns for easy access during bad weather.  The footing is a mixture of sand, rubber and fabric coated with a polymer resin to prevent dust.  This mixture is easy on horse's joints.  There is also an outdoor full-size dressage court with sand footing.  It is the perfect place for schooling and practicing dressage tests.

Our Facility

 A large jumping ring (130'x300') with sand footing is also available for jumping or schooling.  There is also a "lesson ring" that is located away from the distraction of the barn activities, used for private dressage lessons.   It is a full size dressage ring (66x198) and has yellow sand and a fenced perimeter.  The 4 rings available at SQF allow both horse and rider to experience a variety of footings and settings without ever leaving home.

SQF is situated in the heart of Hunt Country and there is access on and off the farm.  The Carrollton Hounds hunt in the surrounding area and leave from the farm several times a year.  Most trails are on the edges of fields and follow in and out of lightly wooded areas.  The terrain

is welcoming over gradual hills with an occasional cross-country jump.  Boarders enjoy these trails together or solo, to warm-up or cool-down their horses, or to have a relaxing hack during a hardworking schedule.  With access to so many varied riding opportunities and about 16 boarders, it's never too crowded!  The pastures at SQF are plentiful.  There are larger ones for group  turnout and smaller ones for individual or specialized turn out.  All fields ar fenced with sturdy 3-board fence.
