5-Star Equestrian Perfection

Chesterland, a five-star horse facility with Olympian history, is available for rent. A handsome field stone gate and long tree-lined drive leads to this remarkable layout in the heart of Chester County horse country where 23 stalls, six large paddocks, three smaller paddocks, and the potential to use one of the two large fields awaits the business-minded equestrian.

Perfect for someone in the 3-Day Eventing community or other equine enthusiasts, this beautifully situated property is maintenance free, allowing you to fully concentrate on your horses care!

The property is owned by renowned horseman Bruce Davidson, one of the 50 most influential horsemen of the 20th century as cited by the equine magazine The Chronicle of the Horse. Davidson became a member of the United States eventing team at age 18, winning his first medal as a member of the silver-medal-winning US team at the 1972 Summer Olympics, according to Wikipedia.

A top-level rider on both the American and international eventing scenes during his long career, Davidson won gold at the 1976 and 1984 Olympics and silver in 1996. He competed regularly at both the World Equestrian Games and the Pan American Games, winning medals at both, as well as winning repeatedly at the top-level Badminton Horse Trials and Rolex Kentucky Three Day events.

He is a legend in the 3-Day Event world and is also known for his horse breeding and training abilities, which took place at Chesterland, where he lives.

The property includes a wash stall, cleaning room, washer and dryer, covered hot walking facility, a heated tack room, loads of space for trunks and gear, plus a second tack room. There is ample parking for trucks and trailers, guests and clients, including lots of space to easily turn around big horse rigs.

Post and beam construction, full barn with individual stalls, providing the best comfort for your horses, plenty of water, ground level hay storage and additional separate hay lofts. Second barn with 16 stalls.

There are two outdoor sand arenas and a large turf arena, as well as an indoor arena slightly larger than a dressage arena. Well ventilated with large windows providing a constant breeze atop this beautiful hilltop helps keep away flies. A hotwalker, as well.

Plenty of gallops on the property with significant hills in lush Chester County horse country, which are great for training. Indeed, the hacking is the best anywhere in the world. Plenty of hunt jumps as well with more than enough 3-Day worthy jumps and obstacles, the panoply from baby novice to five-star level, including a water jump. This manicured and well-maintained property has field stone walls and details, is ringed by three-rail fences and is the optimum high end equestrian facility.

The property is close to the University of Pennsylvanias New Bolton Center large animal veterinary hospital and school, and across the road from the Plantation Field, home of many 3-Day Event competitions of all rankings. It is also an easy drive to Fairhill International in Fairhill, MD. and has easy access to Philadelphia international airport.

Davidson, the owner, is eager to work with prospective tenants and discuss the details on how to make this a maximum-revenue-stream working equestrian show place and training facility. This is a gold-medal property awaiting the ambitious equestrian professional.
