| Icon Sporthorses is committed to the training of and caring for the
competitive horse and rider, specializing in hunter/jumper and
equitation. Our experienced trainers conduct individual and group
lessons for intermediate to advanced riders. Our goal is to further
horse activities in East Tennessee through riding lessons, training and
education.
Icon Sporthorses is a private, full
service facility nestled on nearly 70 acres in a quiet town located at
the foothills of the Great Smokey Mountains and is convenient to
Knoxville, Maryville, and Lenoir City, Tennessee. Icon's original 46-stall Morton Barn and indoor arena (90x200)
were built in 2000 and a 210x160 outdoor arena was added in the spring
of 2006.
In early 2008, 9 new stalls
and 3 grooming bays were added; in November of 2008 Icon completed a
top-to-bottom renovation of the indoor arena, outdoor arena, hotwalker
and lounging area with new footing to ensure the
health and wellbeing of the horses who call Icon home. The footing was
also used at the Kentucky Horse Park for the 2010 World Equestrian
Games...giving Icon a distict advantage to other footing offered in the
area. For more information on this footing please choose
"Facility".."Arenas & Footing".
There was no stopping in 2009/2010 with 10 additional
stalls and 2 grooming bays added to bring the total stall count to 56.
The hot-walker has been relocated to its own building along with 4 additional quarantine
stalls.
The 47,000 sq. ft. barn
boasts a client lounge with full kitchen; 8 grooming bays; 2 indoor wash bays
and 2 outdoor wash bays;
a saddle room which is heated and cooled for the protection of the
leather tack; a trunk room with lockable storage cubbies for riders' daily items;
a hot walker; and 2 apartments occupied by UT students who conduct
nightly checks on the horses and facility.
