Our Philosophy
Sense of Community
Sense of Community
Horses are herd animals. They are meant to be able to mingle and graze. While we do have several stalls, they are used for feeding, waiting for appointments, or recovering from an injury. We do not believe in over crowding. A minimum of one half acre is allowed per horse. Horses can be in a paddock or pasture with one to five horses and a
Horses are herd animals. They are meant to be able to mingle and graze. While we do have several stalls, they are used for feeding, waiting for appointments, or recovering from an injury. We do not believe in over crowding. A minimum of one half acre is allowed per horse. Horses can be in a paddock or pasture with one to five horses and are placed by need and temperament. The horses graze on improved pastures that are well maintained, alfalfa and quality hay. We feed Healthy Edge, but can also accommodate special diets.

Beautiful Pastures with Shelters
Large Stalls
We have 7 large stalls. Most are 15x16, 2 are 13x15. We do not leave horses in the stalls long term. They are for feeding, treating and waiting for appointments. Every horse gets fed twice a day whether in a stall or in a paddock/pasture. Each horse is monitored to make sure they are getting their full meal and owner provided supplements. We can also administer medicine if necessary.

Beautiful Pastures with Shelters
All of our pastures have plenty of safe shelter and shade trees. We clean out the shelters and drag pastures weekly. Water troughs are dumped and cleaned regularly. What sets our place apart is that the horses are never stuck in mud. Our property drains and dries quickly. Your horses will not have to live in dark, gumbo mud and be forced to live in a stall full time while it dries.
