Horse boarding FAQ

Full-care, partial-care, pasture, stall, and retirement board. Full care means we handle all daily work; partial care splits the chores with you; pasture board keeps your horse living out with shelter, hay, and water; stall board pairs a dedicated stall with daily turnout; retirement board is quiet long-term care for horses out of work.

It depends on care level, turnout, and feed program, so we quote per horse rather than publishing a number we would have to walk back. Call 404-738-6120 and describe your horse and we will give you a real figure.

The barn and fencing are being built. We are talking with owners about spots ahead of opening, so call 404-738-6120 to get on the list and hear the current timeline.

We are in the north Atlanta metro serving Gwinnett, Hall, and Forsyth County. Call and we will tell you exactly where the barn sits relative to your address.

On a schedule built around your horse’s program — typically twice daily grain where a horse is on it, with hay and forage available as needed. Forage comes first: most horses need hay and grass far more than they need a big scoop of feed.

Daily, on every board type, adjusted seasonally. Night turnout in the heat of the summer, daytime through winter. Turnout is not an add-on — it is what keeps a gut moving and a mind settled.

Someone does a hands-on check every day. If anything changes — grain left behind, heat in a leg, a scrape, a change in manure — you hear about it that day.

Yes. Owner-supplied feed and supplements are normal, and we follow the program you set.

Yes, as the weather requires. Georgia swings from a 28-degree morning to a 62-degree afternoon in February, which is exactly how horses end up sweating under heavy blankets — so blanketing gets adjusted, not set once.

We contact you and your vet. Your boarding paperwork includes your vet, your emergency contacts, and your instructions for what to do if we cannot reach you — that conversation happens before a crisis, not during one.

Yes, so you do not have to take time off work for a routine trim or vaccination.

By temperament and need, not convenience. New horses are introduced gradually — over a fence line, then with a compatible companion, then the wider group. Rushing that is how horses get hurt.

Fly control is a real, recurring job here, and shade matters as much as shelter from June through September. Turnout schedules shift to nights in the worst of the heat.

No. We offer local hauling for vet visits, clinics, shows, and moving day. Many metro owners never buy a trailer.

Yes. Lessons start on the ground with handling and horsemanship, and no horse or equipment is needed to begin.

Yes — groundwork and manners, restarts after time off, loading, and consistent under-saddle work. Horses in training are usually on stall board or full care so the routine stays consistent.

Visiting is encouraged within normal barn hours. We will go through the specifics when you come out to see the place.

Who does chores on weekends and holidays; what happens at 11 p.m. with a colicking horse; how turnout groups are set; whether feed is included; and what the plan is for frozen water lines and for mud. Ask us the same questions.
