OUR FACILITIES

New Vocations has two scenic Ohio locations.

The Laura facility is 25 miles NW of Dayton and encompasses 32 acres of rolling, creek fed pastures with multiple paddocks and barns. About a third of the horses waiting adoption are kept there.

In Hilliard, New Vocations leases paddocks and stabling at the Sid Griffith Equestrian Center, a manicured showplace that is also home to a commercial boarding, lesson, and training operation. This central location is convenient to seven racetracks and houses the majority of the adoption horses.
