About The Place on 36

A ranch-style stop near Clyde

The Place on 36 is a canine and equine property near Clyde, 16 miles down State Highway 36 from the Abilene airport. It was founded by the Hilbig family, whose roots go back 5 generations in Abilene, and it sits on 40+ acres with horses, chickens and families living on site.

Training and boarding

The Place on 36 offers private in-home training and board and train programs with its trainer, Tabitha. Boarding happens in the Bark Barn, a small 5-stall building with air conditioning, heating and individual outdoor runs, at $25 a night or $35 for two dogs in one stall. An Adventure Package bundles a 4-night stay with a one-hour hike, a natural bone and a brushing. The family also breeds long-haired miniature dachshunds and offers equine boarding and arena rentals.
