HORSE BOARDING

Facilities:

A horse's natural environment is the wide outdoors.  At Heart's Haven Ranch, we provide a variety of spaces for our horses to live in.  Corrals range from 60' by 120' to 200' by 200' in size, with a varying number of horses in each one.  Our smallest corral houses two ponies and two miniature horses, while the largest is designed for a herd of ten.

Each corral has shelter as well as an automated waterer.

We currently have a 60' round pen and an 80' x 180' indoor arena, with an 80' x 160' riding surface as well as tack storage and a tack-up area.  Our outdoor riding surfaces include a 150' circular ring near the round pen, a 20-meter' x 60-meter dressage arena to the east of the indoor arena, and a 20-meter x 40-meter dressage practice arena currently under construction.

 

Feed:

We provide round bale feeders in most pens, and for those horses needing a managed diet, we feed twice a day - morning and evening.  The amount of feed will vary by horse, depending on their needs.  We supply an alfalfa/grass mix hay as part of your board.  Free choice salt and minerals are also provided.  Supplements and medications are the responsibility of each horse's owner.

 

Services:

In order to ensure quality health care for your equine friend(s), we can put you in touch with the following equine professionals:

Farrier: The fellow we use is a certified farrier.  He recommends trims every 6 - 8 weeks to maintain optimal hoof health for your horse. Because of the number of animals we have here, we see him almost every week.

Veterinarian: We have access to an excellent clinic that provides a wide range of veterinary services, including emergency care when needed. These folks are large animal specialists.

Equine Dentist: Twice a year, we schedule a visit from an equine dentist.  This person specializes in dental health for horses, and is happy to explain each step of the process to you if you are interested. Just like us, horses need regular dental care to ensure good overall health.

Chiropractor / Osteopath / Massage. We have access to these specialists for those horses requiring additional treatments.

For further information on any or all of these services, just give us a call.

All fees for these services are the owner's responsibility.  Please see your Boarder's Agreement for further information.

 

Fees:

Due to the increased cost of feed, please note that effective October 1, 2021 our monthly board is $395 per month (GST incl.) and includes use of the indoor arena at non-scheduled times. We do offer reduced rates (per horse) for those boarding multiple horses with us.
