- Location
- Our beautiful stable is conveniently located in the South Austin area. Minutes away from Brodie and Slaughter Lane, and only a 20 minute drive from North Austin. We have the feel of escaping to the Texas countryside, with easy access to Mopac, Ben White, and I-35! Surrounded by oak trees and pastures, we are located off of FM 1626, just south of Brodie Lane. Tucked into a secluded area of ranchs we are a prime example of the Texas landscape, complete with cactus, cows, and big skies
