HISTORY OF CROSSED SABERS STABLE

Crossed Sabers Stable was established in July of 1996.  The Crossed Sabers name and emblem originated from the US Cavalry emblem worn on their uniform and Stetson.  It was selected to exemplify the long history and connection between the horse and the military.  The stable colors are the traditional Cavalry colors of red and white, added to a black background.

CSS and SWAP has always had an open door for animals looking for a home but also for people and their animal friends looking for a place to hang their head.  This will never change as long as this farm belongs to this our Executor/Director. So we ask you to feel free to use them, when ever its convenient  We work very hard to keep this a relaxed environment that is peaceful and positive and we hope our visitors will enjoy the same happy environment that we nourish on a daily basis. Many of the stable activities have rooms included in the cost of the activity and any time a person volunteers for 8 hours the room for the 2 legged visitors are free.
