Jedi Horsemanship. Safr Horse Trailers - The Best Horse Trailer. (3) Birthe Laufer. The farm. Fox Run Farm is an idyllic dressage training center in beautiful north San Diego county. Set on 10 acres, it hosts a 13-stall barn, a mirrored dressage court, a large jumping arena, a galloping track, and six grass pastures. The sand footing is watered and dragged daily. Each of the lucky horses living here has an individualized feeding program which may include grass or alfalfa hay, beet pulp, bran, and grain.

The stalls are cleaned twice a day and the horses fed three times a day. Wash racks have hot and cold water. The raised center aisle barn has 12x12 foot box stalls, all with windows to the outside and a spacious common tack room with plenty of room for show trunks. The barn cat “B.C.” makes sure there are no rodents anywhere. The farm owners, Donna Richardson and Steve Borders, as well as the head groom, Ernesto Magana, live on the premises and conduct evening “stall checks” every night. Lean more about our trainer Sandy.
