We are a small, private boarding facility that uses natural horse keeping ideals. We use slow feed haynets for our horses, and our track-style pastures are set up to promote rotational grazing with lots of movement. We have indoor and outdoor boarding, an 8 stall barn with heated tackroom and 4 stalls have direct walkouts to paddocks.

60 x 120 indoor arena as well as an outdoor sand ring and a full size grass ring & round pen. Horses are checked and handled daily, owners live on the premises.

Seven years ago it all started, Molly and Finn arrived mid morning on the 10th, and look, we had grass!!! I remember inviting friends to bring their horses to help graze down the paddocks cause they were hip high in grass. Ha, those were the days.

Sunny mornings make for sleepy horses.

Everyone is preparing for changes happening at Chester’s Hope with room for a few different options for boarding.

A couple of outdoor board spots are open immediately. Very specific, one has to be a gelding to join three other geldings, and one has to be an easy keeper to join my easy keeper. Horses have access to controlled rotational grazing, and are fed with slowfeed haynets, no round bales, one soaked haycubes and vitamins/minerals meal fed daily. Owner can provide supplements to be added.

One front spot is available immediately as well, where the stall door opens to the paddock, and the horses are closed in overnight only for cold nights. Two meals per day and hay in nets as well with feeder boxes if your horse has shoes. This is for horses with higher maintenance needs like blanketing and more precise feeding needs and medications.

And we are offering up to 4 stalls for DIY board as of June. Includes use of stall, locker, feed room, outdoor sandring, indoor arena. Details to be discussed to find the right fit.

No lesson programs, quiet farm setting, no jumps other than a couple of old jump standards and rails, and maybe a couple of yucky hay bales to really spruce up things. 😉 You get the picture.

Come for a visit, see for yourself and we’ll chat. Message me to arrange a time.

First photo is from 2017, of my two little guys, Dallas and Zeke, no longer with us. Came up in my memories today just as I was about to post the second photo, which is my current crew, Oscar and Satchmo.

Oscar (on the left) is 8 months old, but he is already as tall as Satchmo. Yikes. His paw is still healing, after he refractured the toe that he broke originally. Seems to be healing even better now, so it looks like it was a good thing, maybe. Ortho specialist says six more weeks and he should be 100%. Fingers crossed. Toes maybe not, in case they break. 😉

Morning check for the drinking posts.
-18C this morning, with windchill -27C.
No problem.

Water comes up, water drains out. No heaters required. Worth every penny.

My girl destroys every water bucket in her stall. Even the rubber ones that flex, she sits in it and rips it off the hangers. No water for the night and a soggy stall is the result.

I found a way to keep her butt off her buckets. So far so good and since we only bring them in for extreme weather and change stalls sometimes, this can be done in any stall with a feed door.

Oscar is wondering if he can help with the Christmas decorations.

Merry Christmas everyone.
