Horse Boarding & Farrier Services
Winter's Night Farm
Boarding
We offer field and full-care boarding service. We care for all our boarded horses as if they were our own. We handle them every day walking them in and out of the barn. We pay attention to them to make sure they are doing well.
Boarding service includes a matted 12 x 12 stall that is cleaned daily.
Horses are fed twice daily both grain and hay according to their needs and your wishes.
We are happy to customize the feeding strategy to meet your horse's individual needs.
Horses are turned out daily (weather permitting) with grass in summer and free-choice hay in winter.
Automatic waterers are available in most paddocks and heated water tanks otherwise.
Farrier Services
Trimming
The term “trim” may sound simple, but there are many principles and practices put into every balanced hoof. We use the word balanced because it plays one of the most vital roles in your horse’s foot care and avoiding any hoof problems. A balanced trim is specific to your horse’s conformation and HPA (hoof pastern axis). As well as balancing, we will dress the flare, pare the sole, trim the frog and bevel the hoof wall edges to alleviate chipping and cracking.
Shoeing
We use brand shoes (both steel and aluminum) and use a forge, providing customized options based on your horse’s needs.
We use traditional nails and offer copper coated as well.
