Author and leading equestrian architect John Blackburn will be on hand Tuesday, Sept, 24 at Horse and Home in Landrum to sign copies of his latest book at 4:20 and 6:20 p.m.

Author proceeds from the book sales will benefit Harmon Field horse park.

Blackburn has spent 30 years designing horse farms and barns with a focus on healthy design using aerodynamic ventilation and strategic natural light.

Blackburn has a special affinity for historic structures and an interest in the reuse of existing structures. His conversions have garnered awards from the AIA and Southern Living magazine. According to his website, his equestrian work ranges from polo barns to thoroughbred and training facilities to therapeutic riding centers, all of which employ key principles of passive design to create highly functional, sustainable facilities that nurture, inspire and protect both owner and horse.
