The Barns

The Stables are housed in a 1940’s cattle barn in beautiful Greenwell State Park. In the spring of 2000, the old interior was gutted and a new barn was built from the inside out. Our barn is now completely wheelchair accessible and is used to house our program horses and teach equestrian education courses.

Many different sources came together from the community to contribute to the renovating. The Eugene Chaney Foundation, an arm of our local Chaney Enterprises, donated the concrete footing for the barn floor. Eleven horse stalls were obtained through Darryle Hatcher of Southern States in Huntingtown, MD, and were assembled through the charity of the Maryland Conservation Corps (MCC), an AmericCorp Group. Rubber stall mats, an innovation in horse management, were kindly discounted by Hickory Hollow Tack Shop in Hollywood, MD.

In the fall of 2000, MCC constructed five additional stalls on the north side of the equipment building across from the barn. This run-in style barn is affectionately known as "shed row", offering beautiful water-views of the Patuxent River to the horses that live there.
