Where Horse Welfare, Exceptional Design,
and Land Stewardship Come Together

For more than 34 years, Deborah Cerbone Associates has created exceptional landscapes and estate environments for discerning clients. Over the past decade, the firm has focused exclusively on equestrian site planning and design, combining Deborah Cerbone Todd’s lifelong passion for horses with extensive experience in high-end landscape architecture.

Today, the firm specializes in the planning and design of private equestrian estates, breeding farms, training facilities, and competition venues throughout the United States. Working with elite riders, dedicated horse owners, and multidisciplinary teams of leading architects, engineers, barn designers, and environmental consultants, we create properties where every element works together as a cohesive whole.

At the heart of every project is a simple philosophy: the horse comes first. Horse welfare, operational efficiency, environmental stewardship, and exceptional design guide every planning decision—from the placement of barns, arenas, and paddocks to circulation systems, pasture management, and long-term land sustainability.

Beyond functionality, we believe great equestrian properties should inspire. Each site is thoughtfully composed to create a seamless experience of arrival, movement, and discovery, balancing the practical demands of a working horse facility with the beauty and elegance of a carefully crafted estate landscape.

This is equestrian planning shaped by experience, guided by stewardship, and inspired by a lifelong love of horses.
