About Us: 

Blackwood Stables, with its gently rolling hills and lush Kentucky Bluegrass, sits on 350 acres in Versailles, Kentucky. The serene, peaceful location is ideal for breaking, training and rehabilitating thoroughbreds. The farm is nestled between Lanes End Farm, WinStar Farm, Three Chimneys Farm and Airdrie's yearling division.  

Blackwood Stables is located in Versailles, Kentucky within minutes of several of the world's leading equine hospitals. We provide the full range of equine rehabilitation, from treatment of injuries to post operative care. We utilize a variety of methods to treat and rehabilitate thoroughbreds: vibrations plates, a Game Ready system, magna wave therapy, equine chiropractic care and acupuncture.

Blackwood Stables has forty one, one-acre, turnout paddocks, in addition to fifteen, ten acre plus, large turnout paddocks, which provide the perfect rehabilitation experience for thoroughbreds.

Blackwood Stables offers a state-of-the-art, accredited, six furlong dirt track, a one mile turf course, and a one mile all-weather gallop.

Our philosophy is that every horse should be treated as an individual. This means that every horse is given the time and attention necessary to develop and thrive. The Blackwood environment is especially perfect for preparing young horses for their racing careers.

Blackwood Stables employs some of the finest, professional exercise riders from around the world. We are especially proud of the team at Blackwood, from the grooms to the riders.
