We pride ourselves in horse care by ensuring the horse lives their most natural life to reduce anxiety. Horses are outside as much as possible, except in severe weather. For the Summer schedule, horses are inside under their fans during the heat of the day, before going back out for the night. For the Winter schedule, horses are inside for about two hours in the evening to allow them to rest and get hot water. During perfect weather, horses are outside 24/7. Horses are checked over daily to ensure they are healthy. Special accommodations can be made for those wanting their training horses on a different schedule.
