Boarding Options ... at The Stables at Eagle Mountain

We offer board to a small-but-select group of people and horses here at The Stables. Most of our boarders participate in co-op board, which means they maintain control over their horse's care and welfare. While we do accept the occasional full-boarded horse, we encourage our boarders to be actively responsible for their horses. Horses that can be included in our lesson program are always welcome when we have space available, and may be eligible for a discounted boarding fee. Board includes one 12 x 12 stall and 9 -12 hours of turnout per day. Scroll down for details about all of our boarding options.
	We give preference to boarders from Coosawattee River Resort whenever stalls are available; however, we will accept outside boarders.

The basic idea behind co-op board is simple: you have the ultimate responsibility for your horse's care. In our co-op program, most boarders participate in an optional feed/turnout/stall-cleaning rotation schedule -- but it's your horse, and you direct your horse's care. This works best for experienced horse folks who have a few mornings or evenings each week to devote to stable management. It can also be an excellent learning experience for newbies if they attend our series of HorseSense Horse Care Clinics.

We don't often accept full-boarded horses, but if space is available, we'll consider it for the right horse and the right person. Full boarders receive all of the benefits listed above for Co-op Board, but we assume responsibility for feed, turnout, and stall cleaning. Full board rates start at $300 per month. Extended care options (exercising, grooming, farrier and veterinary care, etc.) are extra. Click here to download our Full Boarding Agreement.

We get occasional requests for overnight board, and we try to accommodate them if we have an available stall or paddock. Overnight board starts at $20 per night; owners supply all feed and hay. Negative Coggins and visual health check required; no stallions. We don't often have time to do much horse training, but when we do make room for it in our schedule, we charge our standard full-board rate plus $5 per day, with a 30-day minimum. Owners are required to provide grain and hay. Click here to download our Training Agreement.
