Luckily the Glenmore Equestrian Center is on publick water.  This is very important because if the storm knocks out the power there is still water for the horses.  Most farms are farther out in the country and are on a well.  Wells need power for the pump; so if the power is out for several days there is no way to pump the water.  One of the things that I used to do whenever a bad storm was forecast was to fill up every spare bucket, tub and water trough so that there would be a supply of water for the horses.  That works okay if you don’t have a very large barn, but since Shadowfax has 26 stalls it would be hard to store enough water to tide the horses over for very long.

The horses at Glenmore are safely tucked in for the night with plenty of water, a supply of feed and bedding, and since Baily who owns the business lives in the barn appartment, there is always someone on site to make sure that all is well.

The Glenmore Equestrian Center which is run by Shadowfax LLC is a full care facility offering boarding, training, instruction and horse sales.  It adjoins the Glenmore Community located in Keswick Virginia just east of Charlottesville, Virginia.

If you are looking for an equestrian community which offers elegant Charlottesville homes and all the amenities of a gated, golf development, I would love to show you Glenmore.

Or perform your own search of all of the Glenmore and Albemarle County homes on the market.
