The Virginia Horse Center, in Lexington, will open its doors to any horses that need to be evacuated due to Hurricane Matthew. The hurricane is expected to make landfall on the eastern coast of the United States on Thursday morning and impact Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina through the weekend.

The Virginia Horse Center’s stalls uniformly 12 feet by 10 feet with 7-foot 10-inch tall walls that are 5 7/8 inches wide. There are four stall-dedicated barns that hold 120 stalls each. Barn 8, which is adjacent to the East Complex holds 122 stalls. The remaining barns—The Big Lonely, Woods Hill, and Bent Tree Barn—are laid out around schooling arenas and hold 49, 46, and 48 stalls, respectively. All barns have internal wash stalls and dedicated manure pits.

There will be no charge for stabling evacuated hoses. A $20 stall cleaning deposit will be taken when horses arrive on the property. Feed, shavings, and hay are available for purchase and camp sites are available at $40 (plus tax) per night.

Please contact the stable office at 540/464-2966 for more information. A negative Coggins test is required for all horses
