By fall of 2010, we should have a smallish (31' x 39') indoor arena with expectations that we will be able to expand that to 39' x 54'.

Blue Rose Farm is just 30-35 minutes away from the University of Illinois and the College of Vet Med and Large Animal Clinic in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois.

We are also just 15 minutes west of Crosswinds Equine Rescue who are just south and east of Sidell. Crosswinds is a 501c3 Non-Profit run by Mike and AnnMarie Cross. All three of our horses were adopted from Crosswinds. Please visit their web site and help support what they do - they are just amazing with horses (they also are really fun people!).
