Freedom Woods has been family owned for the last twenty two years. We pride ourselves on our commitment and dedication to offering the best care for the horses. 

We are conveniently located just minutes from downtown Chicago and the North Shore. We are located next to the Cook County Forest Preserve, allowing us to offer a country feel in the suburbs. The original structure of the stable was built in the 1930s and in the early 2000s a second barn was built on the property to accommodate the growing therapeutic riding program and the beginner riding program. 

We offer the following amenities:

• Fully heated 80 stall barn

• Interlocking rubber mats throughout the barn aisles and grooming stalls

• 8 all weather turnouts

• 1 large outdoor and 3 heated indoor arenas

• 1 large round pen (located in one of the indoor arenas)

• Viewing room with Wifi and workstations

• Grazing area

• 3 wash racks with hot and cold water

• Commercial grade washer and dryers

• Horse Gym tread mill

• Game Ready Machine

• Centurion magnetic blanket and Bemer blanket

• Adjacent to a sprawling forest preserve trail

REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

The environment is a growing concern all around the world. In recent years we have made many changes to help reduce our carbon footprint. All of the lighting has been changed from fluorescent light bulbs to efficient ecosmart lights. We have developed a new water storage system to reuse rain water to water the arenas. The majority of our horses are bedded on straw instead of shavings to reduce the amount of carbon emissions from the disposal of shavings. Our used straw is then shipped to the mushroom farmer who uses it to grow portobello mushrooms.
