Tapeta™ Farm is located halfway between Washington DC and New York on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay. |
The Turf tracks have highly effective, accurate modern irrigation.
|
20 acres of well-maintained grass which includes 12 turnout paddocks.
|
Nearly all the horses are led out for 45 minutes grazing once or twice a day on fresh grass. Our grass is treated with organic fertilizer and is on a three time a year rotation period which allows it to rest for 8 months at a time.
|
Barn is well-lit both inside and out.
|
Six turf tracks - the longest a 1 turn mile and the shortest 5 furlongs. |
The 200 feet of turf at Tapeta™ Farm gives us a total of 10 lanes (20 feet each). |
The Turf track has a gentle incline.
|
During the worst drought since 1930, when surrounding states were all dry and brown, the Tapeta™ Turf Track was at all times green, spongy and never firm.
|
Breezing on the Turf track. |
