Setting

Public Sect (North of Private)

Private Sect

The setting of each event is detailed, but I suppose I should go more in-depth about the grounds themselves. Currently we have two different sectors: Public and Private. The Public sector is for guests attending competitions. We have a dining hall, arenas, stables and pastures, and living quarters available. On the public sector are more arenas, round pens, and a vet and farrier. Guests are sometimes invited to compete in events held on the private sector. The owner and his family live in this sector with their animals.

Starr Mountain Estate is located in the New York countryside. This event is taking place in the summer; you’ll find the weather detailed on each day of the event. We’re in a forested area complete with wildlife.
