riding at dawn*2008 Update: We have OPENINGS! Please contact Lauren if you would like to setup a visit.

We offer full-care, stall board for horses of all disciplines. Pasture or field boarding is also available on a limited basis. The rates mentioned below include full use of the farm's facilities and access to miles of neighboring trails. Our farm was designed with the comfort of our equestrian friends in mind.

Stabling:Fina watches the world go by
Our horses enjoy the spacious quality in their 12' x 12' box stalls. Each is equipped with rubber mats, fresh pine shavings, and an automated waterer that can be heated during the cold winter months. Stalls are cleaned thoroughly at least once each day, 365 days a year, and fresh shavings are added several times a week as needed.

Pasture:
pasture viewThis 55-acre facility has a nice mix of natural wooded areas and open pastures enclosed by 3-board fencing. Each of our seven paddocks vary in size from small turnouts suitable for the special needs horse who requires limited turnout, to pastures with 4-6 acres in which the horses may graze and roam as they please. Our pastures also provide shelter from the elements in the form of extra large run-in sheds, and the horses are granted free access to a filtered fresh water supply through our automated watering system, 24-7.

Turnout:
All boarded horses enjoy the company of other horses during turnout, unless individual turnout is required by special request*. At Whistling Ridge, we will regularly evaluate and adjust the turnout arrangements to ensure both safety and peace of mind for our horses and boarders.
