Snuggled in tasteful landscaping, the barn has many features that are unobtrusive but appreciated by horse and human.  Each stall has a window that remains open most of the year.  In the winter months, a clear Plexiglas window is installed to keep the stall warm and draft free.  The top foot of the barn wall is translucent to allow light in during all daylight hours.

Inside the barn, the large double doors on the long ends and the single doors on the short ends keep the barn cool and fresh smelling.  Large fans at each long end operate during the hottest time of the day in the summer to pull warm air out of the barn. There is also an automatic fly spray system installed in the rafters.  There is a nozzle in each stall and down the aisle that sprays biodegradable, all natural fly repellent.

Feed is kept in a sealed room and in covered containers, so teeny tiny barn friends have no way of gaining access.  All containers are marked as to what feed they hold.  All supplements are written on the board and marked when possible.

The 12 x 12 wash rack has crossties with safety snaps and are secured to eyebolts with twine to ensure horses can always break free in an emergency.  The nozzle has several different settings to accommodate any equine "spraying preference" and is attached to a curl hose.  Hot and cold water is available in both the wash rack and the bathroom, which also has a washing machine and dryer for barn use.  The wash rack has a light, a heat lamp and a grounded electrical outlet.  The mats on the floor help prevent a horse slipping on a wet floor.  It even works well on a hairy floor!

There are five main pastures, each split into two smaller pastures.  With this configuration, it is a simple task to find a group each horse will fit into. Separated into herd groups, they can still see and interact with the other "neighborhoods."

Horses find Seven Oaks a relaxing and comfortable place to be.
