We care about the horses as individuals
We offer Full-Care and Self-Care Boarding Services for Horses of any breed or discipline.
Although we have some young horses, we specialize on the care of retired geriatric horses, who need a calm and quiet place to live. Horses thrive in an environment where they know what to expect. Therefore, we are big on routine daily management, as we consider these older horses our precious citizens.
We live on farm, which allows us to see these horses multiple times a day and catch any issues early on.
In the winter, I do night checks at about 9-10 PM every single night to make sure everyone has enough hay and water to go through the night. This is the only boarding facility that offers this service included in your monthly board fee.
In the winter, horses are in at night and out during the day. They go out at about 5:30 AM, and back in at about 5 PM.
In the summer, they are brought in at about 5:30 AM, and out at about 5 PM. Each stall has a fan, which is on during the summer.
We feed according to each individual horse’s needs: some horses need more or less hay, and more or less concentrate feed, according to their body condition score. Some barns feed only a limited amount of hay per horse, and we strongly disagree with that practice for horses that can have unlimited amounts of hay. For the easy-keepers, we feed their hay in slow eating hay nets to prolong their chewing time.
Full-Care: $450
Includes:
12'x12' stalls
All stalls have rubber mats
All paddocks have automatic waterers
All paddocks have 4 board wood fence
Outdoor all weather riding arena: 180'x150'
