Services and Facilities of Southern Cross Farm
A racing lay-up returning to the track |
Nestled into the Northwest section of Ocala, Florida, Southern Cross Farm has all the charm of the old south with the amenities of today. Our rustic barns are equipped with surveillance cameras, double stalls, and ceiling fans in each stall.
Our farm is double-fenced
& gated for safety |
Shaded by Oak trees, the barns remain remarkably cool throughout the summer.
Minutes from I-75, there are 12 four-board paddocks of various sizes, a round pen and a hot-walker. The lush forty-acre farm is double fenced and gated to ensure complete safety.
We operate with an open door
to communications and enjoy close
relationships with our clients |
Southern Cross Farm strives to provide top quality care. Close attention is paid to all the details of broodmare, foaling, foal, and yearling management as well as sales prepping and rehabilitation. Our services include:
- Boarding: Our large fields consist of mainly broodmares, foals
and yearlings. The smaller fields are used for special lay-ups from
the track as well as rehabilitation depending on the needs of the individual
horse.
- Foaling: The owners personally foal each and every mare to ensure
the health and well-being of both the mare and the baby.
- Expert Sales Prepping: Having a background in show horses,
the farm is able to give the sale horse that extra competitive edge
in the ring. We are able to prep for all sales except two-year-old in
training sales.
- Medical and Surgical Lay-ups: Due to the medical background
of the owners, the farm is able to provide certain intensive care for
horses that otherwise would have to be sent to a veterinary clinic.
- Racetrack Lay-ups: The farm has the facilities to safely let
down horses in training and give them valuable turnout space so that they return to the track eager and in peak condition.
- Registrations/Nominations/Identifications: We take the guesswork
out of the paperwork in owning thoroughbreds. We will identify, register
and make the stake nominations for our owners to ensure they do not
miss a deadline.
- Pedigree Research: We will help our clients with the mating
selections of their mares with our mating analysis software and give
them a six-generation pedigree of their selection.
- Breeding Management for Problem/Aged Mares: We own aged mares
and take the extra steps needed to ensure they get in-foal and stay
in-foal. We realize that their management is more complex than the younger
mares.
- Horses for Sale: The farm breeds to
sell and offers all the produce for sale both privately and at auction.
We will also help our clients to sell one of theirs if they choose.
Clients are always welcome to visit and inspect their horses at anytime. We operate with an open door to communications and enjoy close relationships with our clients. Satisfied clients and well-developed produce have always been our best advertisement.
Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information on how we can be of service to you.
