Horse Boarding

Our Mission

We are a small, family-oriented barn. Our facility was built from the ground up, and is family owned and managed . We feel that exceptional care should not cost you a fortune. You should not have to pay for what other barns may consider as the "extras".  Spending time with your horse should be an enlightening, stress-free experience.  It is our goal to provide our clients with a safe, pleasant, professional atmosphere in which to enjoy their horses!

Our Facility

We have a total of 20 stalls available for boarding, 13 of which are in our new barn. The new barn has nine 12 x 12 stalls and features an attached 106 x 60 indoor arena, locked tack room with viewing area, and outside wash rack.

Four stalls are "outside" stalls. Once a run-in shelter, these are four 10 x 12 stalls with sliding stall doors, enclosed on 3 sides with a nine foot overhang in the front for protection from the elements. These stalls open up onto two paddocks. Our horses are turned out as much as possible, weather/conditions permitting (turnout location is at HMA's discretion). All horses benefit from at least 3-4 hours of turnout per day during winter months.

We have four spacious grass pastures ( featuring poly-coated and electric fencing) and three all weather paddocks for optimum turn-out time. We feel that horses are healthier and happier when outside!
