Horse Board
Our farm is private and quiet and for this reason we are particular about making sure a boarder is a good fit. We are pleased to offer very limited space for horse boarding. Please review the details below and contact us for a meet and greet if you feel our farm may suit you and your horse.
We welcome laid back, well-mannered horses. We are a great retirement home as well as being best suited to low key riding taking advantage of our trails, sand and grass ring, round pen and fields to ride through. The Elora Cataract trail has an entrance 400m metres from the farm driveway. 35km of a quiet trail to enjoy April - November. The Eglinton Caledon hunt club hosts many hunts and socials at surrounding farms.
We provide top quality care but at this time we aren't taking any horses that are show focused, high maintenance or have high care needs. We may consider mare/foal or young growing horses needing a calm and quiet place to grow.
We are a fully insured farm and follow biosecurity and safety protocols for the benefit of everyone on farm. Horses moving in or returning from being away are subject to individual turnout & quarantine. Helmets must be worn to ride.
BOARD SERVICES
HYBRID BOARD $600 Base Rate (plus tax)
OUTDOOR BOARD $500 Base Rate (plus tax)
We strive to offer a competitive board rate that includes all essential care your horse needs. If you visit very regular or every so often, your horse will be completely looked after.
Our base rate covers the standard services outlined below, but because retired and senior horses often have unique requirements—such as specialized feed, supplements, or medication—we use our initial meet-and-greet to develop a personalized care plan. If additional care is needed beyond the base rate, any adjustments will be clearly discussed and agreed upon with you before finalizing the boarding agreement.
