At Eagle Point Farm, young racing prospects respond to the guidance of dedicated, caring professionals who mesh the most up-to-date techniques with time-honored methods of caring for and conditioning young thoroughbreds. Eagle Point Farm is a sanctioned training center.

All horses will be given the basics in one of two breaking pens. Time is spent in the fields teaching the young horses to do figure 8's, small circles and other field maneuvers to build their mobility, wind, and muscles. Experienced riders will take the horses through the necessary stages to build a foundation so they can handle the rigors of training. On the track, the horses learn how to change leads, gallop in close contact with other horses, and experience dirt flying in their faces. The horses receive head-to-head education on our safe, composition sand and dirt, 4-1/2 furlong track. Our horses receive schooling in our electric starting gates beginning with walking through the gates, standing in the gates, locking the front and back gates, and then breaking them out in company with a bell. In addition published works are available. The finished product is a fit and confident horse.

The feeding program at Eagle Point Farm is a well balanced diet, which includes alfalfa mixed hay, quality grain from Southern States Feed, and a vitamin/mineral supplement.

All immunizations are kept up-to-date including worming and flu-rhino shots which the horses receive every 60 days. Twice a year, an equine dentist examines their teeth.

The horses owners receive monthly reports and have the security of knowing their valuable stock is quartered in a first rate 44 stall training barn, situated on 200 acres of Virginia's finest horse farm land. The pastures are tested yearly for fertilizer and lime requirements. In addition to Karen and Donna Dennehy's supervision, a veterinary equine clinic and farrier are on call 24 hours a day.
