Big Heart Ranch Illinois

Big Heart Ranch Illinois Senior Horse Boarding in the heart of the beautiful Jo Daviess' County Illinois! A converted chicken coop provides a bunkhouse for overnight stays.

Big Heart Ranch has been in operation since 2005 and offers both long-term and short-term boarding for aged, retired, senior and recuperating horses. The 20-acre farm has groomed grass pastures, roomy lean-to's, several indoor stalls, outdoor paddocks, and a dry lot. We specialize in board for senior horses providing quality care at an affordable rate. Every horse is unique and we can provide each

one with the individual care necessary to enjoy a long and happy retirement. Big Heart Ranch is located in the rolling hills of Northwest Illinois, nestled in-between rural Elizabeth and the Galena Territory, ( about 2 1/2 hours from Chicago). Because we are a small boarding facility, each horse is treated like one of our own. Horses receive individual attention every day and become part of the Big Heart Ranch family. Mini-trails out back allow boarders short rides with their beloved equine companions. The family owned farm welcomes visitors any time of the year. Call Wende Corbett at (815) 858-2489 for our monthly and/or daily rates. We are a Mother & Daughter run facility. My daughter, Kristle Kamailo operates a lesson and training program. CHA certified as a level 3 instructor, with over 30 years of riding experience in many different disciplines. Her #1 goal is effective communication with your horse, balanced riding and trust-based training. Lessons and/or training by appointment only. Call 707-339-1962 to talk to Kristle directly.

Today was one of the saddest days for me. Derby, a mini I bought when he was 2, passed away at age 25. He was brave and strong despite years of medical issues he tackled without complaint, he finally passed over that rainbow bridge on October 20th. Here are some of our memories.

This time of year, it’s always a great reminder, that pool noodles do not freeze like a hose will, and are an excellent way to FILL your water troughs (not for pipe protection)
