To all the snobs I ever met, who is living the good life now?
Do you have an older horse? Why not let them enjoy the good life on a horse retirement farm? Here is a brief blog article on choosing a retirement farm. https://equinewellnessmagazine.com/choosing-retirement-facility/

Do you know what happens to horses when they get old? Many horses are sold at auctions, and some even end up at the slaughterhouse.

Don't let that happen to your horses! If your horse is ready for retirement, consider boarding them at a horse retirement farm for a happy retirement.

Willow Tree Acres is a family-owned and run peaceful equine retirement farm located in Pennsylvania. Happy horses enjoy green pastures, plenty of fresh water, and a balanced ration of feed and hay for their individual needs. We board horses from Northeast USA, including horses that have retired from New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey.

Customer review! May 24th, 2021

Dear Henry and Stoltzfus family,

Thank you for the updates regarding Empire's care and progress at your farm. I look forward to visiting him this month again. I am so happy that he is beginning to settle into his life. I am sure he is loving the warmer weather. I will be sure to add some salt (electrolytes) to his Smartpaks so he will drink more water during the hotter weather.

Best Regards,
Kerry Hansen
Jonathan (and our pet family)

P.S. Keep me posted about any feed store trips you are making even a few days prior-that has been helpful. Thanks!

Here at Willow Tree Acres they’ll Live The Equine “Good Life”

Our family’s 52-acre farm is located in the beautiful, quiet countryside north of Manheim, PA. We care for around 18 retired horses. Each horse can be separately pastured so as not to get pushed back at feeding time. If your horse was used to being in a herd with other horses we can place them with a group. Your horse will be cared for carefully by our own family. We keep riding to a minimum to keep our horses calm.

Why exercise is vital for older horses in winter.
At any time of year—but particularly during cold weather—the less an older, arthritic horse stands around, the healthier his joints will be. Learn more! https://equusmagazine.com/horse-care/horse-arthritis-in-winter?fbclid=IwAR0LrMhFs4gvvtANHiVH4a7-D0u0nUsF_DQrbzUhkkuf1XJJOfQbvfEVkNs
