At Home with Horses
LIVING THE EQUINE LIFE
Meet the riders, horses, and homes that inspire our world.
A world with horses creates a meaningful world of trust, empathy, friendship, and travel.
Everyone who knows horses understands that the connection between horse and human is a sacred one. They are true companions who celebrate our triumphs and feel our disappointments. Whether you ride for sport or leisure, there’s a responsibility you feel to create a home that is as comforting and inspirational for your horse as it is for you. The most beautiful part of living a life among horses are the communities of fellow riders and enthusiasts you’ll meet, whether you’re at a leading dressage event, a world-class jumping event, or your own stable.

A Conversation with Polo Legend, Nacho Figueras
For many, the equestrian lifestyle is a nomadic one where it’s difficult to set roots. One where “home” is a fleeting concept. For Ignacio “Nacho” Figueras, however, horses are home. They have brought him love, passion, success, and more.
In a conversation with Elliman Insider, Figueras discusses how polo became an essential part of his life, the role Wellington’s horse community has played in his family’s life, and the numerous organizations he supports that help others gain access to the inspiring passion he’s been able to cultivate throughout his life.
Dream Stables: An Equestrian Estate of Mind
Today’s top-of-the-line equestrian estates feature barns that marry form with function in ways designed to please both horses and home-owners, from sustainable fixtures to equine wellness amenities and spaces for entertaining.
For equestrians, there are fully stocked bars, gourmet kitchens, and luxurious spaces in which to relax. For equines, there are soft stall flooring, memory-foam mattresses, climate-controlled wash stalls, automated food and watering systems, and even horse health monitoring technology.
A barn with half-wall partitions and hinged (“European”) stall fronts helps horses socialize while providing the private spaces they need to feel comfortable. Attaching runs to each stall make it easy for horses to stretch and enjoy fresh air when they’re not in the pasture. Barns with extra-wide aisles and doors make passing and turning easier for larger breeds while rubber brick aisleways take pressure off their hooves. Finding the right customized balance of craftsmanship and technology is an art that master barn builders perform with finesse.
