Holly Hill Farm

Eventing Farm that holds events twice a year, as well as a full boarding and training farm.

The Billabong

Located approximately an hour outside of New Orleans, The Billabong is situated within minutes of Louisiana's largest stud farms. The farm has a total of 48 acres in a combination of pristine pasture and wooded trails. The pastures are finished in four-board fence to insure the safety of our boarding horses and feature 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. Vet and farrier are on call and can be arranged on the owner's behalf. Transportation to local stud farms is available as needed. Spacious foaling stalls feature straw bedding, electric heaters and will soon be equipped with web cams. 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 amenities required for tack storage, cross tying, lunging etc.. We're equipped with 18 stalls, stallion stalls, foaling stalls and one temperature controlled stall for veterinary recovery and care. Mares are provided group pastures throughout the year and individual paddocks when foaling time nears. New foals are imprinted, haltered at birth and handled daily. Our own foals are trained to lead, tie, bathe and load prior to being sold. Owners Frank and Sunny Francois live on site and personally attend to the needs of our equine boarders.
