Horse Facilities

12 tie-stalls, five partially covered stalls, three large paddocks, and an arena comprise the basic horse facility. A highline area is available in the forested park area. Portable panel pens can also be set up to provide special stabling if the need arises. Horses in the tie-stalls will be rotated in the turn-out areas so they have a chance to sprawl. In the covered stalls, horses are fed from troughs, in the tie-stalls they are fed from a rack, and on the highlines, they are fed on the ground. Faucets and hoses are nearby and horses should be watered at their own individual buckets (provided).

We provide an alfalfa/grass mix hay. If your horse needs grain, please bring it with you.

There are saddle racks near the bedrooms, or you can keep your saddle in your trailer. There are temporary saddle racks on the porch near the hitching posts.

The water comes from an artesian spring and is not treated with chemicals. It is slightly alkaline. You may use the hose to rinse off your horse, but we do not encourage people to bathe horses because of the need to conserve our water resources.

Camp

Paddocks, covered stalls, and a small arena are just outside the sleeping quarters at the Largo Canyon School. The guest wing has six bedrooms with double occupancy and one dormitory room with beds for six. There is plenty of room to bring your tack indoors.

Bathrooms and the kitchen are in an adjacent building. It was built as a school cafeteria and gymnasium, so it has great facilities for group cooking. We added a big dining room, leaving the gym for basketball practice and a workout area. In the spring of 2007, we will be installing the long-awaited hot-tub with room for seven! Guest talks and drumming will take place in the torreon, a two-story adobe tower built as a kiva-meeting space.

The Largo Canyon School is humble, rustic, and fully-functional.
