Boarded in the large out door paddock with trees and pasture.  The out door boarded horses are pastured together with free access to mineral and salt licks, hay and some oats.  There is a run in shelter and heated automatic waterer.  Out door boarded horses are blanketed with flysheets or winter blankets when it is excessively cold or lots of bugs.  There is access to the heated barn for grooming, tacking and feeding separate supplements. 

Training

There is no set monthly training fee.  You pay the regular boarding fee and then there is a fee charged per training session done with your horse.  Some boarders can work their own horses more often then others so the “pay per work” system allows more freedom to choose when you would like your horse worked.


Stride High Stables goals are to guide, encourage and empower the horse owner to learn and connect with their own horse, but also with an understanding that busy schedules don’t always allow for consistent training.  Training is available for most disciplines and can include body work (massage, stretching etc.)

Rehabilitation Work

The rehabilitation programs are set up based on each individual horses need. The initial costs are the regular boarding fees and then the program would include the recommended training/body working fees as per session.  There is access to many different health practitioners (micro current therapy, chiropractor, rehab consultants, vet care, massage therapists, animal communicators, laser therapy, reiki and more) at their standard fees.


The program is set up with an extensive history of the horse via contact with all health care providers that have initially worked with the horse and based on precious health records.  Stride High Stables team of health practitioners and vets review the history and include all parties to formulate the best program for your horse.  This program is well laid out and approximate expenses are disclosed prior to the horse coming to be boarded.
