Cottonwood has a level outdoor field for  boarders to ride use as they please,  we also have our farm fields that boarders are welcome to ride out on.
(We only ask that boarders are respectful of our fields because they are planted with crops in the spring through fall)
We do ask that if you set up jumps in the indoor that you take them down when you are finished using them. We do allow horses to be turned out in the indoor if they are supervised at all times.

Horses are not to be left unattended in the indoor.
