Self-Care Boarding

Self-Care Boarding

Self-care boarding is ideal for horse owners wanting a more hands-on approach to caring for their horses. Self-care boarders will be provided a private stall & paddock for their horse, along with pastures for grazing, However, you must provide all of their daily care requirements including cleaning the stall and paddock, evening feeding, and preparing feed & hay for morning feeding.

Stables feed horses each morning between 8:00 & 9:00 A.M. and turn horses out for grazing an hour +/- after feeding. Tenant will be responsible to return their horse to his/her stall each evening. Note: Turnout times and durations may vary based upon weather conditions. If weather conditions deteriorate, stable manager may return horses to stalls at their sole discretion or cancel turnouts for that day.

As self-care boarding doesn’t require full care of the horse, it is generally one of the cheaper options available, lowering your monthly rent and helping you ensure your horse receives the care you desire!
