Come and enjoy the beauty of the Finger Lakes, the rolling hills of the Finger Lake National State Forest, and the majesty of the ability to enjoy it by horseback.

Located in Schulyer County, N.Y., we are short drive from Ithaca and directly on the Seneca Lake Wine Trail. Our proximity to Watkins Glen puts us in the midst of cascading waterfalls, breathless lake views and rolling glacier carved hills.

We at the Painted Bar Stable are proud of our local area and the accessibility that it presents to horses of all shapes and riders of all kinds. By focusing on trail riding and equine pleasure, we work to share our love of horses, particularly APHA Paints, and the grandeur of our home.

Established as the Painted Bar Stables in 2003, the stables changed ownership in early 2008. The new owner, Erika Eckstrom, has since brought new life to the stable, revitalizing the farm and doing needed renovations in order to make it into the community landmark that it was in the 1960s and 1970s.

Operating predominantly as a pleasure riding and breeding facility, the Painted Bar Stables lives up to its name by producing the highest quality APHA painted and colored horses. Standing at stud is Sierras All The Gold, a 2002 Perlino homozygous creme tobiano stallion that is guaranteed to produce creme dilute offspring: buckskin, chestnut, dun, champagne dilute, perlino and cremello. Painted Bar Stables is also home to the offspring of Pepsi Poco and other champion APHA and AQHA offspring.

Painted Bar Stable also provides refuge for a number of rescue horses. Erika has long been dedicated to offering home to horses who have been injured on the track or neglected by their owners and has been working to rehabilitate these horses into a better future.

While doing a weekend trail ride in the Finger Lakes National Forest we came upon Darlene and David Duprey of Duprey Video Productions while they were shooting a tourism video for Seneca County. I've edited the footage that they took and made a little music video for the Painted Bar Stables.

September 27, 2009 - Welcome our New Friend

Erika picked up a surprise at the auction - a red roan 2001 grade quarter horse gelding. He's tall (16.1 hands high), handsome and gentile - a true "in your pocket" personality.

Because of his wonderful, gentleman-like personality, we've named him after the Southern millionaire in the wonderful movie Auntie Mame: Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside.We just call him "Beau" or "Beauregard Jack."

Please join us in welcoming Sierra Mist Poco Twist to the Painted Bar family!
