Located in the foothills of North Carolina, CHF has everything a horse and rider could want. A twenty-four stall center-aisle barn with large box stalls, each with attached paddocks, and a wide aisleway. With four crosstie bays for grooming, tacking, and bathing; there's also covered outdoor wash racks next to the equipment storage area. Facing the grooming bays are the Barn Office, the Feed Room, and Tack Room. There's a full bathroom with shower and half bathroom in the side aisleway.
CHF has plenty of turnout areas - 16 individual sand paddocks, 12 grass paddocks, and two pastures. Each turnout has a water trough and spacious three-sided shelter. The indoor is 150'x300' with large windows lining the sides and skylights overhead. The covered arena is 130'x200' with half walls. A 300'x300' sand arena is the main riding ring for all fair weather riding. A low simple pole fencing separates the large arena into two rings. Bleachers and booths line the arenas for shows held at Copperhill Farm. A storage shed next to the outdoor ring holds equipment frequently used such as poles, jump standards, and fillers.
CHF also has a six horse free motion horse walker and a 90' round pen. A hacking track runs the entire perimeter fence and is a great place for warming up, cooling down, and conditioning sets.
By the hay and shavings shed, two covered bays are set aside for Farriers, Vets, and other service providers who prefer space away from the hustle and bustle of the stable. The nearby equipment building houses the two tractors, the two UTV with dump bed, golf cart, ATV, small trailers, and drags. There's also the farm truck, the semi-truck for hauling, large trailer, gooseneck, and bumper pull horse trailers. There's plenty of storage for extra barn equipment and a workshop.
Nearby is a quiet main street with a bookstore/coffee shop, grocery store, diner, nice restaurant, tack shop. A university is within a 45-minute drive and has a great veterinary hospital. The local veterinary practice has both small and large animals vets. CHF has a great relationship with two farriers in the area who are experienced with jumper horses as well as orthopedic shoeing. A bodyworker does amazing therapeutic work for the horses with services including chiropractic, massage therapy, PEMF, and acupuncture.
