Sunnywood Acres Stables
Boarding
We try to hold 3-5 openings for boarders most of the time. We strive to have boarders who are "Regular visitors" to their horse, thus it is our policy to "pasture board" all the boarders horses as we do our own. This is a more natural method of horse keeping. Horses are natural "foragers" and eat 24 / 7 / 365 in their natural environment, thus they stay healthier then when given 2-3 "meals" a day, with limited time to eat. Horses in the open environment also build natural immunity to infections and diseases, as well as a thick winter coat-protecting them from winter’s cold temperatures. Horses at our farm run free on 20+ acres of pasture in summer with an auto-filled water tank. In winter we provide 800# round bales, and heated water tank all winter. Our own horses along with the boarded horses are out in the pasture all of the time and have access to shelter / round bales or pasture / and open water at all times. This also means that we do not feed grain to yours or our horses, and if you desire them to have grain or supplements, you must bring your own grain/supplements and come out daily and feed it.
The indoor and outdoor lighted arenas are available for boarder’s use except when a lesson is in session. We do have a lot of riding space on the dirt roadways around the farm as well as a round pen for those who are training their animals. Our farrier comes every month, our Veterinarian is out in the spring for vaccinations, and our Equine Dentist does a visit in the fall. Boarders are required to pay for these services in advance, or be present at the time of service to pay. We do occasionally take camping trips or trips to fun shows and other outings with the horses. We sign boarders up in advance who would like to go along. We charge a small fee for transport, according to the distance of the trip. Riding lessons and our 4-H group are options for beginners & youth learning with parental support. Come join us for life, love and learning about horses, also riding and fun. Someone's always riding here-won't you come join us?
Boarding fee is : $175/ mo. paid in advance of the month.
NOTE: We're offering a free complimentary Horse handling/Riding lesson to Boarders and Leasees, twice a month on Sundays @ 3pm- (November through April) of winter 2009-2010 -a $50 a month value-FREE!!
