RATES & POLICIES

Please contact us to discuss pricing and board options. Our boarding is very limited, and usually full.  Keeping in mind that our main source of income is riding  lessons, preference for boarding and a discount is given for horses used in our lesson program.

·         Board options:  At this time, we are only offering full-care field board with discount for partial usage for $325 per month.

All full-care field board includes regular care (standard feed, hay, turnout, blanketing, fly control), use of facilities, and coordination of additional care (vet, farrier, worming, teeth, etc.)

Our philosophy:  We allow as much turnout as possible in a herd, closely resembling the natural habitat for horses.  This provides constant grass/hay and the opportunity to keep moving.  Turnout reduces boredom, vices, ulcers, colic, and arthritis.  We find it also keeps our horses happy, as they prefer companionship with other horses. Sorry, but individual turnout is not an option here.  In addition, mares and gelding are typically turned out together.

  ·         Additional Fees: Worming, holding for vet/farrier, training, mane pulling, lay ups, etc.

Horses must have a negative Coggins test dated within the past year. All boarders and riders must sign a liability waiver. This is a family facility, so no biters, kickers, cribbers, youngsters, etc . please.
