It is located by I-5 Exit 216, along Halsey-Sweet Home Road, within a 30-minute drive of Eugene. The property had been operated as Pioneer Stables, and was used for the rescue of horses. The facility can accommodate up to 44 horses at a time. Thirty-eight stalls are part of the horse arena, and 6 are in the stall barn, providing opportunity for a boarding and training center, or other equine uses, with excellent access to I-5, and the Eugene and Albany markets.
