Boarding your horse at Spring Run provides a safe and comfortable environment for your horse and peace of mind for you. Our barn is professionaly run by our barn manager, Susan Rockhold, who makes sure that all of our horses are happy and healthy. The basic care at Spring Run includes AM and PM hay and graining, daily turnout, thorough stall cleaning, blanket changes, and nightly checks. What makes us different from many barns is our attention to detail and our extra effort to keep your horse happy. Following is an overview of our high level of horse care that makes our barn stand out from the rest:
1. We take the time to get to know your horse and his daily habits. We will notice if he isn't finishing all of his grain, seems a little chilly and needs an extra blanket, or loses a shoe in the field. We have a barn directory with each horse's owner, vet, and farrier information so you will be contacted immediatly and your horse gets the treament he needs.
2. Your horse's turnout is based on his/her needs. We all know that horses are not all the same - some prefer all day or all night turnout while others enjoy only three to four hours and then are ready to come back in. At Spring Run we give your horse the amount of turnout he/she needs. All horses are turned out in small groups and for those few horses that need their own space, private turnout is available. We also have several private limestone pens that are great for horses that are recovering from an injury or just need some extra time outside without the grass.
3. We work hard to properly maintain the fields, rings, and barns. We fertilize all of the fields every year, rountinely water and drag the rings, rake and sweep the barns daily, wash out water buckets twice a week, and thoroughly clean stalls and provide fluffy shavings everyday. We take pride in keeping our barns and grounds in neat and organized condition and providing you and your horse an enjoyable place to be.
4. We provide excellent horsemanship with safety always being our top priority. From properly leading horses with a halter and lead, feeding hay before graining, bringing a galloping horse in from the field, to having all of our horses on a worming and vacinnation program, the safety and well being of your horse always is our top priority.
Our boarding rate is $575.00 per month. Please note that one lesson per week is required by all boarders. Please contact Susan Harris at 502-228-3456 to discuss your horse's boarding needs and to schedule a time to come and visit us.
