Over the years, the equine program has evolved and
expanded at SMWC to meet the growing demand of students and the
horse industry.
In 1999, the Board of Trustees approved a major expansion
and renovation of the current facility. In the winter of 2001,
construction was complete. This new construction allowed space for
personnel in the equine department, teaching and laboratory areas,
and additional stalls.
The original barn is architecturally very appealing with its
massive Gambrel red roof and masonry façade. This charming
stable contains 24 stalls, a classroom, 2 tack rooms, office space,
and restrooms.
The new stalling area is connected to the original barn with two
roofed sections and a lovely courtyard in the center of the two
barns. The new barn is 230 x 40 feet, housing 31 stalls, 1 large
tack room, 4 grooming stalls, 2 wash stalls, and a storage area for
grain and equipment. This space is entirely heated, and the design
allows for a very work friendly environment. The stalls add a
special appearance to the interior with arched design; grill work,
and decorative lighting.
