The W. K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center is a showcase facility that houses approximately 100 purebred Arabian horses used in teaching, research, and breeding. The Center includes 40 acres of irrigated pasture, five barns for stabling horses, foaling stalls with an observation room, veterinary sciences laboratory, several arenas, a farrier shop, and research facilities.

The Arabian Horse Center breeding program welcomes numerous foals per year and offers horses for sale to the general public. A sales list is available on the Center website, listing breeding, history, and prices. Cal Poly Pomona horses are exhibited by students and the horse center’s trainers in competitive all-Arabian horse shows, the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Parade, national Arabian horse shows, California Arabian horse shows, and Cal Poly Pomona Sunday horse shows. The hundreds of ribbons and trophies displayed at the Center attest to the quality of the Arabians at the W. K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center.

Weanling Barn

Located next to the hot walker, the Weanling Barn contains more box stalls, and also houses the equine treadmill, breeding room, well-equipped equine veterinary clinic complete with breeding stocks, and small animal clinic. Both staff and visiting veterinarians make regular use of the equine clinic area, and the small animal clinic is the perfect space for the college’s Animal Science Department lab classes.

Mare Barn

Built in the style of a mare motel, with eight large partially covered paddocks and a wide, covered center aisle, the Mare Barn also holds the farrier lab and the spacious farm shop at its far end. At the front of the mare barn is an equine scale that is regularly used by students and staff.

Pastures & Paddocks

The AHC is situated on 38 acres, leaving plenty of space for pastures and paddocks. Pastures are on both an irrigation and a rotation schedule, keeping them lush and green for the groups of horses that occupy them. The center’s young horses are divided into age groups and spend the first several years of their life living outside in small herds. Several smaller grass paddocks are located on either side of the Main Barn and are used for turnout on a regular basis.
