This barn was created for people who love horses and horses who love comfort.
Intentionally articulated to catch the prevailing Hill Country breezes, those who have the opportunity to see it and step inside say they experience a warm alluring energy which produces a serene tranquility affecting both mind and body… hence it’s various nicknames: “The Church” and “The Taj Ma Barn” and “The Equine-Ox”.
