Open Road Stable offers a quiet, friendly environment where the horses come first. We are conveniently located just off Highway 40 at the edge of Saint-Lazare, Quebec. We offer each boarder the flexibility to bring in their own coach, veterinarian and farrier.

the barn
The barn is clean and airy, with extra high ceilings to provide optimal air circulation. It is fully insulated to be warm in the winter and cool in the summer, and the tack room is heated for cold winter days.
The 10 x 10 stalls are cleaned daily. The horses are fed high-quality hay throughout the day and have access to clean water at all times, indoors and outdoors.

turnout
The horses receive all-day individual turnout (weather-permitting) and hay is fed in boxes off the ground to reduce the ingestion of sand. The paddocks are located where they can easily be monitored from the house and the barn.
The paddocks are cleaned out on a regular basis and are snowblowed throughout the winter.

riding facilities
The stable is connected to a very bright 150 x 60 ft indoor arena with an extra high ceiling for ample head room while riding.
There is a large well-drained outdoor sand ring, approximately 100 x 200 ft, connected to a shaded sand annex ring where jumps can be left up throughout the summer.
On hot summer days, horses and riders can enjoy wading or swimming in the sand-bottomed pond located next to the riding rings.
