Everyone loves New Round Bale Day 🥰🥰🥰
Welcome to Serenity Retirement Boarding , Rosemary and Rorianne!! We are so happy to be home for this lovely rescue mare and her (surprise!) foal. Thank you so much Erin for trusting us with your babies, and for giving Rosemary the awesome life she deserves. We can't wait to watch these two flourish!
Two of our favorites- Bridgette and Sophie. They are the two best little donks on the whole world 🥰
Daisy and Misty have become absolutely joined at the hip! It's impossible to say hello to just one 😂
Princess Aurora, best helper ever.
Welcome to Serenity Retirement Boarding , Misty! We already love her poofy cloud mane and gentle nature! Many thanks to Michaela for trusting us with your girl!
Serenity Retirement Boarding is so excited to welcome Doc!! This distinguished gentleman is a perfect quarter horse who looooooves to lick us and took to his first feed bag in 0.0000001 seconds tonight at dinner. We're so happy you're here, Doc!
This filly is growing up SO FAST!!! We love having such a sassy, mischievous, affectionate baby growing up with us at Serenity Retirement Boarding .
Happy 21st birthday, QT!!!
Everyone in the Hills pasture snuggled around the Serenity sign 🥰
Sometimes, you just gotta nap.
Serenity Retirement Boarding has two boarding spots left at our beautiful facility in Powhatan, VA! We are a full-service boarding facility specializing in retirees, lay-ups, pregnant broodmares, or any horse that needs an easy pasture life with tons of care and attention.
Free choice hay, twice daily feedings of grain, and our entire horse loving family living on-site mean your horse is spoiled and tended with tons of TLC. Our horse owners receive photos of their horses at least weekly!
Rachel Stauffer, owner of Serenity, is a licensed veterinary technician with over 30 years of horse experience- including management of a 40+ competition horse program- and a specialty license in Emergency and Critical Care.
Client referrals available! We know it can be scary to entrust your baby to someone else- especially after recent news stories surrounding retirees. We are happy to connect you with our clients.
Come check us out! Tours available almost any day.

Serenity Retirement Boarding is so proud of our first newly designed and custom built feed room. So many thanks to Mathew Stauffer for the sweat, blood, and (manly) tears that went into making this completely perfect. We're incredibly pleased with the end result and can't wait for the other two feed rooms to be done!
This never gets old. Every single equine on the property comes over when they are called- but nobody does it in style quite like the Meadows pasture 😎
The horses LOVE round bale change day. The leftovers in the round bale hay net get put into a pile for their enjoyment while we put the new bale into the holder. It's a hay smorgasbord!
We decided to have some fun with Annie and did a maternity photo shoot... they turned out AWESOME. You can see the rest of the roll with our pretty princess here:

Thank you SO MUCH to Tori at Buckin B photography!
The newest round bale feeder is up, and the horses sure seem to approve! Many thanks to Jim Byrd and Mathew Stauffer for the hours of labor and love... and for making sure I didn't fall off the roof 😁
Annie is at day 327 of her gestation, and she is SO ready for this baby to be out in the world instead of her belly 😂 She loved her bath today and is happy having food shoved under her nose four times per day, plus free feed hay. We love this mare so much!
The Meadows herd was WILD yesterday! These kiddos sure can move!
We're so excited to announce that our SWAG store is open for the next two weeks! Beautiful shirts, hats, hoodies, and more available. Come get yours now and help us spread the word about Serenity Retirement Boarding!
Welcome to Serenity, QT and Finnegan! We're so happy to have you join our herd!
Some of the beautiful photos our friend Powell took of our newest boarders during a recent visit. We love how she captured the beauty we see in our horses every day!
Welcome to Serenity, Nyx and Ringo!! These two love bugs hopped off the trailer and right into the rhythm of our farm. They are some of the most affectionate, inquisitive, lively horses we've ever had the pleasure of hosting. Thank you so much Marie O'Brien for trusting us with your babies!!
Our Annie Binani is getting so big!! We can't wait to meet her baby ❤️❤️❤️

Our soon-to-be fourth pasture is *officially* being cleared! It will still be quite a while before we can open any boarding positions in the new pasture- the soil must be tested and treated, grass seed drilled, a fence put up, and the pasture must mature for a year or so- but we should have FOUR beautiful pastures to offer sometime in 2024! Many many thanks to Cable Co. for their efficient and tireless work this past two weeks!
We recently switched our horses over to feed bags at grain time. Daisy finished before our little Zen and is certain she can sweet-talk her way into sharing 😂 #BFFmares #sharingiscaring
With all this rain lately, our kiddos all jump at the chance to enjoy the sun. Annie particularly loves to lay out for a few minutes and roll- she's 8 months pregnant and her belly is growing fast! (PS notice the shadow of donkey ears coming in hot for pets at the bottom left 😂)
We tackle this particular chore in all the pastures every week, especially in the winter time when the 💩💩💩 is a bit of an eyesore. The manure feeds our pastures, and spreading it out helps prevent pests from breeding... plus, our pastures look great when we're done! We have to admit, we can't reeeeeally call it a chore when we have this much fun. Trust us, you'll want the sound on for this one. Author's note: We'd like to thank Ramona Byrd for videoing off the back of the ATV for this clip. We are happy to report no mother-in-laws were harmed in the creation of this video 😂
