Horse Boarding

We are located 45 minutes north of Dallas or Fort Worth near the intersection of where I-35E and I-35W meet. 5 minutes from University of North Texas in Denton, Texas.

Clean and very quiet, owner lives on the property as do two full time live-in helpers, including my 15 year employee that trains my horses. For 19 years, we have bred and raised our Andalusian horses and foaled out literally hundreds of foals so have experience in taking care of horses. Our foremost concern in boarding is to maintain the quiet and happy environment we enjoy and to have healthy, happy horses.

We accept rehab or retired horses with special needs which are my special soft spot.

My mares are out in the pastures 99% of the time unless about to foal or for some reason in stalls. I have a separate stud barn for 4 of my stallions and a separate pasture area for my weaned foals or sold youngsters waiting to leave. There are several separate paddocks for turnout of boarded or visiting horses or, if the particular horse can be safe in my herd, they can be boarded with pasture only boarding.
