a building conected to the main stables where either the owner or another of the academy's staff will be present. lesson schedules, stall aragments and lesson horse lists are located here.

where students under eighteen are taught their non-horse related lessons. a large, brick, two-story building that sits beyond the stables near the housing building. all sorts of classes are offered here, from music to science.

as this is a boarding school, most of the students live in dorms as they don't live nearby. here is a large yard with three buildings. the largest is a brick structure with two sections; this is the student dorm area where boys and girls are seperated. the staff housing is smaller, but also made out of the red brick. a little ways off is the Maple Ridge House, a large white house where the owner and her family live.

a large block located a little ways off the main house is the heart of Maple Ridge. the three are along the outside of the block. as well as a riding academy, Maple Ridge is also a breeding and bording facility, and students and instructors have the option of bringing their own horse if they wish. the main barn is the largest and is where lesson horses are held. the barn to the left is the boarding barn, where students, staff and citizens of the nearby town may keep their horses. the stable to the right is where all breeding stock and foals are kept.

all lesson arenas, outdoor and in, are located in this board.

a nice wood and large fields surround the stables and housing buildings. people at Maple Ridge enjoy taking hacks outside the fences of the arenas and sometimes an instructor will take his/her class on a trail. beyond the woods is an opening, where great galloping lanes. there are also cross-country courses set up in the woods and fields, for lessons and personal use. just make sure to wear protective gear and make safe chooses (like riding with a partner or group if not with a lesson)

as it is located in the beautiful country side, Maple Ridge has a lot of open space and several paddocks and pastures where horses can be turned out in groups, pairs or alone if the horse doesn't get along with others.
