See the progress of Lauer's Edge of Woods Horse Farm.

The construction of "Today" host Matt Lauer's horse farm is well underway in Water Mill.

Aerial photos illustrate the state of the project in December 2012.

The Sag Harbor Express reported in May 2012 that Lauer's Edge of Woods Horse Farm is slated to include two 34,000-square-foot outdoor riding rings, a 23,940 square-foot-indoor riding ring, and a 17,455-square-foot barn with space for up to 36 horses.
