Facility

Facility

Premier Dressage sits on 15 wooded and scenic acres in Battle Creek, about halfway between Detroit and Chicago.  It has a airy 8-stall barn with 12 x 14, 12 x 18 and 12 x 20 stalls with automatic waterers, dutch doors and rubber matted floors.  It also has a washbay with hot and cold water, and a heated tack room and rest room. arena letters

The facility also boasts a lovely 80' x 150' HEATED indoor arena with sand and rubber footing, seating area and mirrors across the entire short side. The climate is always ideal for riding without worrying about cold, snow, rain and wind. The footing is never hard and it allows the horses to be warmed up and cooled out properly without risk of respiratory strain, chills and muscle aches. The horses love it!

In Summer 2009 a new Olympic sized outdoor arena was also installed in the pretty and private wooded area just behind the paddocks. Perfect for practicing tests and having a quiet outdoor ride, or just for a change of pace!

Horses have daily turnout in grass and sand paddocks, and are fed four times daily for optimum digestive health. Spaces for boarders and horses for training are available on a limited basis.

Please ask about Carolyn's "Winter Doldrums Clinics" - a fun way to break the winter blues, and enquire about upcoming clinics with international trainers and judges.
