When you visit our site, you'll notice the phrase "Excellence in Horsemanship" as our motto. As and introduction to us, who we are and, perhaps more importantly, who we are not; this phrase says it all.
We are experienced, knowledgeable, honest horsemen that have a long history of producing sound, healthy, and happy horses. We put the horses first, always, even if it means we sometimes disagree with popular opinion. We are not new to the horse world, we are not here just to make a buck, and we are not "figuring this out" as we go.
If you'd like to learn more about us, please take a look around. There is information on everything we do, and there's even a blog section where you can find out more about our philosophy on all things horses and horsemanship. We hope you enjoy the site!
Situated on 112 acres of rolling hills and woodlands near Watts Bar Lake, Runaway Farms offers a peaceful atmosphere for horses and people alike to enjoy. Our facility was designed for the safety and comfort of the horses living here; ample turnout with sturdy horse-specific fencing and big, solidly built stalls keep our horses happy and safe. A bright covered riding arena, John Lyons roundpen with all-weather footing and miles of trails provide numerous opportunities for conditioning and training. Extra touches like our individual tack lockers, climate-controlled tack cleaning area with coffee station, in-barn restroom with shower, and indoor wash bay with hot and cold water make time spent at the barn more enjoyable for our human clients, too!

Horses live outside in a group 24/7. They have safe fencing, clean water, trees for shelter, pasture during the growing season and hay in the winter.
Some horses just don't maintain their weight well enough on pasture and hay alone. With this option, you choose the grain you want and provide a mesh feedbag for your horse and we feed twice daily. Price is based on the cost of feed.
While changing their routines can be stressful and even counter-productive at times, we realize that sometimes things just happen. Stall use for 8am-5pm (we will clean after your use).
