Within our Resources is a list of local Veterinarians for questions and PPEs. There is also a list of local lodging if you are planning a visit to our area. If you are buying, planning on sending a horse here for training or to be sold, there is a list of shippers who have come to the farm.
I’ve also written a book called, “New Track, New Life”, it’s filled with information every past and present OTTB owner should have. It is a comprehensive guide that begins with the horse’s life at the track and takes you through the steps of finding, buying, letting down and retraining.
Please don’t hesitate to let us know if there is anything else we could include that would make your time with us better.
If you are participating in a clinic or riding lesson at Leighton Farm, kindly fill out and sign this our liability release. Here is a link to the Leighton Farm Release.
