Our Farm
Located in Poolesville, Maryland, Wrenacyn is a 20 acre farm that features two stables, a spacious 170x70 indoor arena, a lighted 100x200 outdoor arena and access to the EPIC trail system along the Dry Seneca stream valley. Our 6 paddocks and 6 oversized pastures plus fenced in cross county course create a paddock paradise track system for our horses that provides destination areas and enrichment opportunities. Our stables are equipped with hot/cold wash stalls, tack and feed rooms. We have plans for a lounge/observation space in the arena barn with unobstructed views into the indoor arena.
