Shamrock Farms
180 beautiful gently rolling Bluegrass acres with Red Roof barns, run ins, houses, black board fences and World Champion’s in the stalls and pastures. That pretty much describes the dreams come true for The Rob Wilson family as they live on the land that has been in Rob’s family for hundreds of years. They have lived on the farm since 1970 building show barns , fences, jogging tracks , adding something productive each year. In 2004 Rob and Julianne moved to the newest barn on McCoun Road—the southeast side of the farm. Rob designed his training barns and B & M construction built the shell for him. Rob finished the entire inside, stalls included, with lumber milled on the farm from the 4 acre lake he had dug in 2003. Each board was planed on the farm and hand nailed. The 14 x 14 stalls are spacious, with 55 x 55 arenas on each end of the 300 foot long aisle that is 28 feet wide. There is a stallion annex that houses 4 breeding stallions, the feed rooms, storage and washrack. An office and sunroom face the road front of the big barn. Another annex is being added to accommodate the quarantine horses with 6 separate stalls and a feed room. Each of the 31 stalls has a full back metal door that opens for summer ventilation.
A six stall broodmare barn was added in 2006 and the 18 x 18 stalls enjoy a sunlit view.
The Red Roof house was designed and built by Rob and Julianne for weekend and camp retreats with 2 kitchens, 5 bathrooms, sitting rooms and lodge bedrooms. Much of the use is during the Road Pony camps and weekend adult camps where you will find and hear laughter and activity in every space of the house and barn. You can read more about the Camps at RPCShamrockFarms.
