The Facility
Ingenium Farm is moving to the newly built facility at QofE Farm in Santa Rosa Valley, California.
Each stall is 12x12ft and equipped with a camera so your horse gets the best care possible 24/7. Each stall also has automatic water bowls and automatic feeders.
The out door ring is 200x300ft and has GGT footing. The ring is watered and drained using an irrigation system below the footing. Days are not missed riding even when it rains due to this state of the art irrigation system.
The property has a EuroSizer to keep your horse in top shape. There is astroturf below the footing so your horse wont take a bad step. There is also a camera installed, which plays on a screen in the grooming area, so the grooms can always keep an eye on your horse.
We also have a VitaFloor so your horse can relax and enjoy daily therapy sessions.
