One thing Danville had to offer was Averette University, and they in turn, offered equestrian courses. In the spring time, Averette would bring 20 – 25 horses to the farm for two or three months to board them, so their own pastures could ‘rest’. These are but a few of their fine beasts.
A group of horses belonging to the students of Averette University, temporarily boarded at the farm.

That farm consisted of over 600 acres. I think at least 150 ares was fenced pasture. The had several huge pastures, most of which were empty the majority of the time.

This is the best time of the year to ride. No bugs…yet. I’ve been yearning to ride myself lately,but don’t have my horse anymore, so sadly, when I ride now, it is in my dreams. Thanks for stopping by.

Very nice. The university I attended allowed equistrian team members to board their horses on school-owned farmland, as well. I was always a bit jealous that I couldn’t bring my cat!

This is a private farm which rented pastures to the school for 3 or 4 months in the spring, while their pastures rested a bit, were limed, reseeded,etc. Some of the horses belonged to the school, and some to the students themselves. Some of the students kept their horses on this particular farm throughout the school year because the trails
were/are so awesome. They trailered their horses back and forth for their lessons, when required.
