Horse training facility

The Gait at 45W understands the importance of creating a welcoming and comfortable environment for you and your horse. We take pride in providing premier amenities and fostering a barn community that is supportive of each individual and their horse. The stable, arenas, paddocks, are nestled on 32 acres. The environment is a retreat where you can focus on riding, learning, and relaxing with your horse and friends.

FACILITY FEATURES

Heated & indoor riding arena

Large indoor barn with a circular bed of grain under a metal truss roof

Both arenas are connected to the barn for easy access. The first arena, completed in 2019, measures 200 x 100 feet and is designed for various activities. New footing was added in October 2025 to maintain a safe surface for training and competitions.

Outdoor arena

Wide equestrian arena with white dressage markers, red buildings, and blue sky behind it

Equestrian Events added a 250 x 140 outdoor arena in 2018 with the same Martin Collins fiber footing as the indoor arena. Every rider can enjoy the comfort and support under foot, whether jumping or practicing their dressage tests. With impeccable drainage, you will not miss days of riding outside even after heavy rains.

Our newest arena

Empty indoor horse arena with jumps and sandy floor under wooden beams

The new 200 x 100 foot indoor jumping arena was completed in 2019. It iis well ventilated and heated during the winter months for year round use. The footing is a sand mix groomed daily and is large enough to accommodate a full course.

Turnout

We understand that turnout and daily exercise are important factors to consider in horse health care. We believe that horses need time outside to socialize and move freely, yet horses are not all alike when it comes to their socialization and physical needs. We offer group and individual turnout, in grass and all weather limestone paddocks.

Boarder lockers

A narrow hallway lined with wooden storage lockers or cabinets on both sides.

We offer large boarder lockers that fit two saddles inside and with a combination lock. Also, a designated refrigerator for boarders with a freezer for ice boots. The bathroom is ADA accessible. Cleanliness is important to us and is regularly cleaned and maintained.

Feed room

Storage room with stacked bins, plastic tubs, and pet supplies along wall shelves under a Purina sign.

We feed Purina twice daily with custom feed schedules available. We offer Purina Strategy Professional Formula GX, Equine Senior Active and Enrich Plus. We will feed other grain and supplements the owners provide and bag. Quality hay is given 2 times a day, with an optional 3rd feeding if necessary depending on the weather and individual horse.

Solar system & generator

Red barn with solar panels and parked SUV under a clear blue sky

The Gait at 45W is Going Green! We go to great lengths to ensure our equestrian facility is environmentally friendly. Solar panels have recently been installed in our horse barn. We have purchased floor sweepers that are environmentally friendly, all our lighting has been switched to LED lights, and we are avidly pursuing other avenues to decrease our carbon footprint. Rest assured, we have a backup generator system.

Round pen

Outdoor rodeo arena with a white dirt ring, metal fencing, and red spectator seating under a clear blue sky

Our 60 foot round pen with a viewing area is the ideal tool for training your horse in a confined area. The 8’w x 6’h panels are solid up to 4’ with 2 horizontal rails. The kick proof panels help prevent injury when horses kick out.

Heated & air conditioned clubroom

Orange lobby with wooden staircase, reception desk, shelves, and seating area

We believe the barn is a home away from home.  Our heated and air-conditioned clubhouse includes a kitchenette with microwave, dishwasher, coffee pot, tables, television, and couches, all with a view of the indoor arena.  ADA accessible restrooms are located in the clubhouse.

Large stalls

The comfort and safety of your horse is the focus of our philosophy. We have two matted stall sizes for you to choose from 12 x 16 and 12 x 12. Horse stalls are cleaned daily with low dust shaving added as needed. Nightly stall checks are performed.

Our newest arena

New footing was installed in this large indoor arena in October 2025.  Now all three arenas have Martin Collins CLOPF© footing.  We chose this fiber because it is a safe and quality surface for training and competitions. Both of our arenas connect to the main barn and are heated in the winter and very well ventilated in the summer months.
