55Loved the big open field at the farm! Great for tossing the ball, chases, sniffaris, and perimeter walks. One side of fencing a dog could get out if they wanted to. If you have a highly reactive dog without recall you would want a long lead here. There is enough space to work on your condition training though! Water station, poop bag and garbage station and some balls left out for tossing. We will be back!
55Great little spot
55Lovely property, my dogs loved it there. There are a couple areas in the fencing that do give access to other areas of the farm or roadway so I just kept the dogs entertained in an area away from these two areas. I love the vast space, cleanliness, and the beautiful/tranquil setting. Will be back again. Thank you kindly.
55We loved this spot! Large, clean, beautiful, with huge cedar and fruit trees. Wonderful hosts. We will definitely be back.
55Beautiful field! Some tires and logs to jump up on/target. Lots of good smells and lots of flat open space for running.
55Great spot to walk around with my dog and kiddo.
55This was a lovely, quiet field and my dog had so much space to run! It was easy to find, clean, and spacious. We stayed near the main entrance to avoid seeing the horses, as I wasn’t sure how my reactive dog would handle that. It is not fully fenced, so I wouldn’t bring a dog if you have concerns about them taking off. It was a great visit for my reactive pup who loves to run. Will definitely be back!
55great spot for our reactive dog. Long sight lines and no distractions that are close enough to matter. Love this spot.
55Lovely spot.
55Awesome field. Host was friendly and courteous. Was not as rough as expected for a hay field. Very private. Will definitely return.

Description

***IMPORTANT: All prices listed are in USD and guests will be charged in USD*** This is a private hobby horse farm in Metchosin. I have a large field that would be a great spot to let your dog run free. I have a 120x60 foot sand ring for detail training (must inform if the ring is going to be used). Water access hose in the corner of fields. Small swing on tree. Outhouse by the barn. Please pick up after your pet. Respect the property and use the garbage cans provided

Cleanliness

100% of guests said this spot was as clean as expected during their visit.

Hazards

Horses in the back paddock away from field. If the gate to the back paddock is ever open, just close it please. That way the horses don’t commode into the big field when you’re there. They are probably just hanging around the barn as they are afraid of new people on the property.

Extras

Bathing$2

City fed Water hose in field for bathing your dogs or spraying them down on warm days. (Drinking water is always provided & free access 24/7)

Sand Ring$5

Sand Riding ring 120x60 foot flat area behind the barn for flat training. Can set up jumps or dog equipment (bring your own).
