*Stalls are available on a first come, first served basis unless an advance deposit is made to hold a stall.
*Overhead associated with providing boutique quality care and training of your horse is increasing in an exponential fashion and all barn owners are scrambling to figure out how to stay in business. Therefore training rates are subject to increase without notice. Every effort will be made to control costs and keep charges from increasing in 2024, but it’s necessary to forewarn everyone that increases are possible and likely in order to be able to keep the barn open and operating at a level to be proud of, and, particularly, to keep reliable quality help well-paid so that they stay. Thank you for your understanding!
Hay Surcharge: In drought years, a monthly hay surcharge is added to offset the increased cost of hay. This charge is dropped when hay is plentiful and the price comes down. Because of the 2023 drought and a 30% increase in hay prices, a hay surcharge of $40 per month has been assessed until the 2024 crop and prices are known.
