We Offer Boarding for All Horse Breeds

The traits that we have all come to love in a horse can be found in the elegant Paso Fino. These traits have been apart of these horses for over 500 years. From the time of the conquistadors to the present. We have been searching for the perfect horse. A horse that can do it all. Hacienda de Molinero is devoted to just such a horse. We have surrounded ourselves with the finest horses and the finest trainers. Let us help you make the right choice for you and your future. Explore the pages of our site to find out why people have come to trust and rely on us for all their training, boarding and breeding needs.

Our Farm
Hacienda de Molinero Equestrian Center is located in southeast Missouri, just an hour south of Saint Louis. We have 90+ acres of lush, rolling green fields; they surround two ponds, which are home to catfish, bass, and bluegill. Upon arriving to our farm, you will drive down our tree-lined lane; you will see, off to your left, a small pasture used to house our yearling stud colts or mares with foals. On your right is our trainer's home, Nelson Del Valle and his family, nestled next to another small pasture. Driving further down our lane, you will see our paddock barn to the right and the main barn on the left. Our main barn has two apartments on the second level, these two homes are for our full time care taker, Francisco Palafox and for visiting guest. Just hidden slightly behind the main barn is our round pen barn, complete with an outdoor BBQ Kitchen & eating area. To the right, we have three additional larger pastures that are in direct view of both our personal home and our trainer's home. We have found that this environment is a relaxing place to train and enjoy the horses for both client and trainer.	We also offer other amenities to help you relax and enjoy your time with us like fishing, paddleboating, picnicking by the pond, having a BBQ in our outdoor kitchen, or playing yard games while visiting with friends, just to mention a few. All of us, including our trainer and caretaker, live on the farm; we are away's available to answer your questions and concerns regarding your horse's training and boarding needs. All are welcomed to drop by during regular business hours or call for an appointment for after business hours. Somewhere in time's own space There must be some sweet pastured place Where creeks sing on and tall trees grow Some paradise where horses go, For by the love that guides my pen I know great horses live again. ~Stanley Harrison Your Horse, Your Passion, Your Finest Choice, Hacienda de Molinero, Inc.

Paddock Barn
	When you first enter our lane your will come up first on our paddock barn. The paddock barn sits on the site of the original barn from the late 1800's. We were proud that the local high school reused the wood to help the sports teams build a club house. Now in its place now sits our new barn with 12 x 12 stalls with an attached 12 x 36 foot run. We also have two 12 x 12 stalls with double sized runs. This well ventilated barn is used mainly to house horses that are not in full training or that need a little more room. Our Paddock Barn also has ample room for hay and grain storage.
Round Pen Barn
	Our round pen barn is unique. It was designed by our second daughter Michelle. (shown riding her mare Azucena del Juncal to the left). It is made up of 4 sections which look like a cross from the air. The top sections is for hay storage and farm equipment. The next section is the stalls, tack room and tacking area. The third section houses our sunken 60' round pen. Which has observation walkways on both sides of the pen. Last but not least is the BBQ Kitchen, which faces out to the pond. This is a 25 x 40 area. It is equipped with a built in BBQ, sink, bar and tables, with ample floor space for those weekend dance parties we all love!
