There are 10 stalls in the main barn, each of them 12' X 12', with rubber mats over clay floors.  Every stall has a sliding door into the spacious aisle and crosstie areas, as well as a dutch door on the back of their stalls that opens to the outside.  This allows the horses to have a view of the outdoors, along with the fresh air, even if they are kept indoors.

First and foremost, we want all of our boarders to have a comfortable and safe place to keep their horse.  We believe that if you go to the expense of owning and paying for the upkeep of a horse, you deserve to have a pleasant place to go when you visit.  We cater to an all adult group of wonderful, carefully selected horses and people.  Everyone here is friendly, polite and conscientious regarding the needs and safety of other horses and their riders.  One thing you will not find here is the gossiping, rudeness or selfishness that you may have experienced at other boarding facilities.  Everyone is free to ride in their chosen style with no one thinking they are better or worse than anyone else.  The art of horsemanship is an ongoing journey that never ends.  No matter how much you know, there is always more to learn.  We encourage that learning process.  However, if you have a trail horse and prefer to ride bareback in a halter, as long as it's safe for other riders, we have no problem with that either.

 

Care

We custom tailor your horse's diet to keep him looking and working his best!  The horses here are fed three times a day, with grain and hay being fed morning and evening, along with hay and an extra water check at 9:00 PM.  We feed on a routine time schedule, as we believe this keeps the horses happier and healthier - they don't have to deal with the anxiety of wondering when their next meal is coming.  Because they are naturally grazing animals, this keeps food in their systems on a regular basis which lessens the chances of ulcers or colic.

 

All stalls are well cleaned on a daily basis, with a sawdust/shavings mixed bedding added as needed.  Paddocks are cleaned periodically.

 

Weather permitting, horses are turned out, if you'd like.  Our paddocks are made of very safe, 3 rail vinyl fencing, and we generally turn horses out in individual paddocks to avoid any injuries they might incur from being turned out with other more aggressive horses or simply rough play.  Also, the entire property is surrounded by chain link fence with an entry gate for visitors so if a horse should get loose it can't get off the property and onto the roadway.  Some people prefer to keep their horses in and work them under controlled conditions, which is fine with us as well.  Through their back doors, they can enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. 

 

There are many trails nearby if you are a trail rider - we have the Horse Hill Preserve approximately a quarter mile up the road with groomed trails, and there is also the ability to get onto the power line trails and ride for hours.
