If you are anything like me, when you first got a horse to raise and train it wasn't long before you figured out that your huge house, taking up half the lot, didn't leave a whole lot of room for much else. Then you realized that if you are serious about getting into horses, there is a lot of worthless stuff in your house that you no longer use. I tried moving houses to bigger lots but things still didn't work right. Being a builder I had a “duh moment”, and figured I could make a lot for training horses.

The lot has a small bunkhouse and barn, but most of the space is used for the enjoyment of your horse. The bunkhouse has a common room, bedroom and bathroom. It is not big at all but is plenty comfortable, and has some high-end electronics so your Sim can get the most out of their free-time.
*I took this picture early in the testing stage when I was busy working on things, so ignore the newspapers all over the front step.


The barn has two box stalls, with a water/feeding trough and a decent feeding area (for bailed hay) right next to it.

There are other feeding and care areas on the lot as well, so it isn't hard to be somewhere close to a place to take care of your horse.

There is also a pond for when you Sim wants to fish, and your horse wants some tasty water that hasn't sat in the trough all day.

At the 10 Summer Hill Court Lot, it is right next to the Equestrian Center and has easy access to the competitions as well as a short trip home afterward. It comes set up for Race Training, but that shouldn't limit the opportunities. As soon as you have maxed out the racing skill, just replace the race posts with jumps, and work on that.
If you don't want to actually live on the lot … flip it to a community lot where everyone can use the facilities. Turn the bunk house into an office and keep the bathroom. The lot will support all kinds of activities, and the box stalls can be used for the next generation. No matter what you do with it, the lot is popular with the wild horses and unicorns. They show up on their own if you don't lock the gate.
It doesn't matter what you schedule looks like either, because there are lights around the track if you want to train after daylight hours.

Have Fun and Enjoy Your Horses!
