Horse Boarding and Boarder Services

      

      We care for your horse as if it were our own. We do the little extras: blanketing when below 35 degrees; placing supplements* in daily feeds; worming based on vet recommendations; Equimin (a free choice salt and mineral supplement); make appointments and hold your horse for the blacksmith, vet, equine dentist and we pay the bill allowing you to reimburse us within the week. The amount you owe is put on your locker clip. Unfortunately, we must close grass pastures during the winter months so we can use them to their best advantage. We wish we had sufficient pasture for the horses to be out on green grass daily, but that is not a reality for us. We more than balance this shortcoming with the top quality hay & Southern States premium Legends feed as well as the superior care, cleanliness and many other amenities of our facility. All stalls are matted, have skylights and windows.










Above All We Foster A Positive, Concerned, Atmosphere For You and Your Horse! 


Turn-Out:  New horses will be introduced to the herd a few horses at a time in order to make friends before being a part of a large group. To the best of our ability, geldings and mares are separated in turn-out. June-Sept., the horses come in between 8:00-8:30 AM to be fed. Afternoon feeds are between 3:00-3:30 PM. Horses are turned out in lush pastures for 1/2-2 hours daily while grass pastures are plentiful. They are then turned out of the night into their assigned dirt fields until the morning. Oct-May, the horses are fed between 8:30-9:00 AM and turned out into their dirt fields with heated water troughs. They come in to be fed between 3:30-4:00 PM.









Ring Use: Lessons always have first privilege of ring use. Boarders are welcome to use whichever ring (indoor or outdoor) is not in use for lessons. A lesson schedule is posted on the bulletin board in the aisle for boarders to know when lessons are scheduled. Both rings will never be in use by lesson students at the same time.


Working Student Board:  This includes the same services as full board  in exchange for doing scheduled shift work in the barn.
