Boarding

All barns are not created equal . . .

The Patchwork Farm feeding program is tailored to the individual horse, featuring Seminole feeds. Our older horses are fed a special Senior feed. Our horses are turned out daily on lush grass pastures. In the barn, the horses always have hay in front of them. We stock a Kentucky orchard/alfalfa mix hay and a local grass hay for the “fatties”. Many of the horses get some of each. We like our horses to be able to munch all day, like nature intended.

We utilize the “SmartPak” system for our horses’ supplements. At the shows, we pack everything up with no interruption to our feeding program.

We rely on the expert work of our team’s professionals to keep our horses healthy and happy. Each horse is an individual and is treated as such. It couldn’t be easier for our owners- we handle all scheduling. Payment is made from the owner’s Equine Care Account. As a part of our routine health care management, all our horses receive regular visits from our farrier, who is at the farm every Tuesday. Horses are shod at 4-6 week intervals as needed. We take care of all veterinary matters- vaccinations and any other health care or soundness matters. Our equine dentist checks all the horses every 6 months. Our horses also receive the attention of our chiropractor and massage therapist at the owner’s direction- we should all be so pampered!
