Services
We provide full-service care for your horse and offer two boarding options: field board and stable/stall board. Both boarding options include use of all the facilities at Walnut Cove Farm (ring, trails, wash stall, and tack room) at no additional charge.
-
Field board service provides your horse with feeding twice per day depending on their individual nutritional needs and hay during the winter months offered twice daily. We “look over” your horse at each feeding. We change blankets in the winter, rain sheets in the fall, and fly sheets in the summer at no additional charge. Walnut Cove Farm offers two large fields, one for mares and one for geldings. Each field has a run-in shed, fresh water, and salt blocks. The cost for this boarding option is $380.00 monthly payable on the first of each month.
-
Stable/stall board provides your horse with a 12x12 fully matted box stall with a fan in the summer months. Your horse’s stall is cleaned daily as are his feed and water buckets. Blankets, rain sheets, and fly sheets are changed as indicated by the weather at no additional charge. The cost of this boarding option is $485.00 monthly and is payable on the first of each month.
Each boarding option includes the management holding of your horse for the farriers and the vets at a cost of $25 per horse for each procedure. Our farriers come to the stable twice monthly and the vets on an as needed basis. We are fortunate to be located close to two state of the art equine emergency hospitals who provide our stable with excellent veterinary care. We have great faith in both our farriers and our vets, having a long standing relationship with each.
We proudly provide Southern States feeds and offer 10%, 12%, or 14% protein feeds or equine senior depending on the nutritional requirements of the individual horse. Additionally, we grow and make our own orchard grass hay.
Additional charges for both boarding options include: farrier services, veterinary care, de-worming, medications, and nutritional supplements. The owner is responsible for the cost of these services.
