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.
(12)

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.

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)

It is with a heavy heart that we say our good-byes to KC. She crossed over that rainbow bridge Wednesday afternoon 11/29/23. She loved food and belly scratches. So loved by all who met her. Our condolences to Jessica, her owner.

Those amazing northern lights may be visible tonight (Thursday night) pretty deep down into the Midwest, including parts of central Illinois.

That red line indicates the southern extent of where the Aurora Borealis might be visible on the northern horizon.

With an unobstructed view toward the north, a person can see aurora even when it is 600 miles further north. The strongest lights tend to appear between 9pm and 2am, though the best sightings often occur between 11pm and midnight.
