BOARDING & CARE

ABOUT US

We have 16 stalls available and 25 acres of pasture and riding area. Each stall is a generous 12×12 with windows both on the aisle and outside each stall. Stalls are separated with bars for safety but the open atmosphere allows horses to see each other and feel companionship with other horses.

Stall Management

Stalls are cleaned during the day and picked again at noon, PM shift and bed check to make sure the horse is not standing in urine all night or laying in dirty shavings
Automatic waterers in stalls and monitors. Water is run thru a softener to take out impurities.
Premium , no dust , shavings are used
Feed pans and buckets are washed daily
Each stall has 2 fans and additional fans are added to stalls in the summer
Mister system installed in each stall to lower the stall temperature on hot days
Manual fly control

Wash racks and tacking up areas have rubber brick footing and safe cross-ties.

Hot and cold softened water available for bathing.

Tack rooms are air conditioned. Additional storage locker for grooming supplies is also included.

TURNOUT PHILOSOPHY:

Turnout during the day or overnight depending on you and your horse’s preference. For day-time turnout in the summer we turnout twice – early morning and then again in the evening when the temps cool off.
We protect hooves and legs with barrier products when horses go out in poor, wet conditions to guard against leg and hoof issues.
We make every effort to adjust to inclement developing conditions (Heavy rain or Thunderstorms) by adjusting turnout
The covered arena is used as much as possible if the horses have to stay in for the day to let them stretch their legs
Water troughs are checked daily and kept clean. We work hard to keep the pastures green, and minimize weeds. Well maintained 4-board fending & no climb gates.
Horses are matched with a buddy, if possible at the owners’ request.

FEED AND HAY:

3-4 feedings/day of hay and feed, depending on horses needs
Hay is fed first thing in the morning, then again at noon, pm shift and bed check to ensure they have hay continually available
Lunch is fed for those horses in need
There is a pm feeding and again at bed check for those horse’s in need
Hay is in the stalls when the horses return from the pasture to ensure a peaceful and calm return
