Four Star Farm is located at Valley Dressage and Sporthorse Center in Dixon, CA. The facility features a covered dressage court, jumping arena and enclosed riding arena.
Feed
Horses are fed hay three times per day and grain/supplements once per day. We manage each horse’s feed program, including grain and supplements, and customize it depending on the horse’s condition and training program. We use SmartPak supplements, which are paid for separately by the client.
Shoeing
We manage your horseshoeing schedule and work with experienced farriers, who are well educated in the demands of shoeing sporthorses.
