The Monastery Stables has approximately 25 horses.  The horses are turned out every day in our paddocks:

Horses graze in the field between the barn and the riding ring at the Monastery.

It looks like there should be a pot of gold under this rainbow in the back  field.

The riding arena is large, and it has lighting for night riding.

Above the riding arena is another field with jumps and a dressage ring.  Riders may ride in either the field or the ring.  Horses are often schooled in this field.
