The equestrian facilities are examples of how an integrated design can create spaces not just where we are housed, but where we live our lives to the fullest near. The facilities include an 80-foot by 140-foot indoor ring, 140-foot by 200-foot outdoor ring, both with custom footing. This is the only indoor riding arena in Greenwich.

The horses will have the best accommodations and horse-specific amenities in the eight-stall barn with lounge/tack room, equipped with wash stall, half bathroom and inlaid rubber flooring. There are eight paddocks with four-board wood fencing and custom run-in shed, convertible to stalls. The hayloft is full and awaits the equine residents.
