An hour outside of New Orleans, The Billabong is situated
in the heart of horse country. The farm's 40 acres are in a combination of pristine pasture and wooded trails. The
pastures are finished in four-board fence and offer plenty of shade and fresh, clean water. Soils are tested annualy and
fertilized as needed for optimum equine health. For the breeder, we offer a teasing stallion, veterinary stocks
and a barn with timed lighting. Renowned vets, including reproductive specialists, are a phonecall away. Transportation to
local stud farms is provided for those special dates. Spacious foaling stalls feature straw bedding and electric heaters.
The barn offers bunking quarters for foaling season and a kitchenette, bathroom, sitting area and tack storage for boarders. We specialize
in mare care but also offer a wonderful retreat for your young horse, retiree or resting horse. For the avid rider, we
offer a professionally surfaced 100' by 200' arena with jumps, 15 acres of trails and all of the ammenities required
for tack storage, cross tying, lunging etc.. We're equipped with 18 stalls, stallion stalls and foaling stalls.
Mares are provided group pastures throughout the yaer and individual paddocks when foaling time nears. New foals are imprinted,
haltered at birth and handled daily. Sales prep is also available. Owners Frank and Sunny Francois live
onsite and personally attend to the needs of our equine boarders.
