Knuckle Hill Equine
Works...helping horses succeed
Knuckle Hill Equine Works is located just off I-64 in
central Virginia, half way between Richmond and
Charlottesville.
The barn has 6 permanent stalls and one temporary stall.
The barn was built with maximum air flow in mind and
horses love hanging their heads out the large windows
of their 12 x 12 stalls. Each stall has a ceiling fan and
outlets for extra fans and heated buckets. Fly control
is a priority and manure is hauled away from the primary
facility daily.
There are multiple pastures allowing for rotational grazing
and putting the right pasture mates together. Electric
tape allows for changes in the size of paddocks for
horses in rehab.
The 120’ x 80’ ring has gravel dust footing that is just
right for strenthening tendons and ligaments. There are
also several trails through the woods that are integral to
the training program. Horses learn to navigate different
types of footing, walk over a wooden bridge and a dam,
and deal with wildlife. The sloping fields are great for
building up stifles.
Nutrition is a key part of your horse’s program. Horses
are fed quality feeds and hay based on their needs.
Supplements are suggested when necessary. I work with
owners before their horses come here and again when
they leave to transition the feeding program properly.
Safety is a priority at Knuckle Hill. The farm is located on
a quiet private gravel road and the house is just steps from
the barn. Every day I assess food and water consumption,
manure quality, interactions in the pastures and changes in
behavior toward training.
