New 40 x 60 ft barn is almost completed. Still in use another 40 x 60 barn with tack room and wash stall.
New barn has or will have when completed: 24 x 12 tack /lounge area, 7- 12 x 12 matted stalls, 12 x 12 wash stall, grilled stall fronts, grilled sliding stall doors, fly spray system and bathroom with deep sink. Photos at bottom of page of our progress.
We have vet, farrier, trainer and boarder references upon request. We also check your references. My prior boarders had been here over 4 years and were very happy with the daily care given their horses and the atmosphere. I have many years experience with Equine Boarding, Rescue and Rehabilitation. I will give oral medications, supplements, exercise, walk, wrap, bandage, fly spray and take care of your horse daily as if it were my own. Rehabilitation is priced per horse based on specific needs. During recovery I can offer your horse it's own pasture so he/she can stretch and relax without having to worry about other horses crowding them or getting readjusted to a new herd.
Full Boarding includes but not limited to (if you have a special need for you or your horse please ask):
Hay & Feeding two times daily, daily pasture turn out as weather permits, winter rye grass and oats mixture planted in fields and summer pasture mix too, also have a fescue-free pasture for pregnant mares, blanketing as needed, daily stall cleaning as needed with Equine Fresh type pellet stall bedding over stall mats, heat lamps available for lay-ups and blower fans for the hot humid summers here . I will hold and handle horses for all farrier and vet appointments with-in reason. We hand select our horse hay a mixture of timothy, orchard, some coastal and oats at times. We grow our own orchard hay. Hay prices being at their all time highest it is important that we offer the best quality available for all the horses on our property. If your horse requires special feed, hay or oral supplements we will be more than happy to serve anything you provide at each feeding at no extra cost.
Not all horses are the same body type or breed. Each horse, like a person, has their own special nutritional needs based on athletic needs, exercise program, breed, age and metabolism. We rely on our feed suppliers and vets to assist us with helping determine the specific nutritional requirements for every horse in our care. Just like people horses need special care to grow and sustain proper body condition depending on their athletic requirements and we keep an eye our your horse's weight to make sure it stay normal and there are no excessive drops.
We have a 60 ft round pen filled with 60 tons of sand for soft footing for you & your horse. Wash stall and tack room in old barn with 14 tons of hard packed sand flooring in @ 12 foot aisle way so no hard concrete on their legs and hooves if you have a horse with hoof or leg issues. We are still renovating and are working hard to make our farm a safe haven and prosperous environment for you and your horse.
Most importantly there is normally someone on our farm 24/7 in case of emergency or if you need assistance.
