What excites us about these projects are the many opportunities to creatively work out design solutions harmonizing equestrian health and functional needs with human and vehicular requirements.
Tim Smith, our principal landscape architect, enjoys sharing his knowledge of horses and design to creatively develop master plans that are not only safe and efficient but also beautiful and reflective of the client’s goals. He gained practical experience by working at his father’s farm, Pegasus Stud in Lexington, Kentucky, working at the Keeneland and Fasig-Tipton Sales, and studying the many farms for which his father, an equine veterinarian at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, worked.
