FOX POINT FARMS

APRIL 11, 2025

The event at Fox Point Farms brought together a diverse group of equestrian professionals and enthusiasts to discuss the art and emotion behind designing and building equestrian properties. Held in a picturesque setting, the gathering featured a panel of experienced speakers, including architects Wade Weissmann, American Stalls’ CEO Yash Balasaria, equestrian realtor Lindsey Vorwith of MANE Real Estate, Grand Prix show jumper Lane Clarke and Lindsay Hunter of Hunter Design, all of whom shared personal stories and professional insights.

Panelists delved into the emotional connection people have with their horses and how that connection drives the vision behind building a dream facility. They explored the tension between aesthetics and function, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing long-term usability over initial visual appeal. A key theme was the learning curve many face when building for the first time—unexpected challenges often lead to valuable lessons that inform future projects.

The conversation also highlighted how equestrian needs evolve over time, and how facilities must adapt accordingly. From managing drainage and airflow to designing flexible spaces for both horses and people, the discussion offered practical advice rooted in experience. The event created a sense of community, offering inspiration, connection, and shared knowledge among attendees passionate about both horses and the spaces they inhabit.
