For our equine lay-up/rehabilitation family members we offer stall board in a newly refurbished 6-stall barn.

  • 12'x13' and 10'x18' stalls
  • All have rubber mat flooring and are blanketed with a fresh, thick layer of equine pelleted pine shavings for bedding
  • We do not use electric waterers, instead we keep 30 qt buckets in each stall so that we can monitor water intake more closely

 

Grooming is included for equestrian rehabilitation residents. Not only does it keep our rehabilitation horses clean and comfortable, it provides us with an opportunity to really get to know them, know their bodies and injuries, as well as develop trust.

Certified Equine Massage Therapist, Kiersten Eckstrom, is available to assist with treatment as per your veterinarian's recommendations.

Turnout can be provided in a limited space or in a large paddock for those that are physically able


Mixed grass hay is fed 2-3 times daily depending on your horse's needs.
Triple Crown grain is fed twice daily, unless another feed is specified and available.
Any medications or additional supplements supplied by the owners will be administered by us as directed.

Over our 50+ years of experience owning and caring for horses, we have come across just about every malady or injury possible and are both very knowledgeable and very capable of treating your horse’s injuries and ensuring a proper equine rehabilitation process.
If your horse is at any time in need of more extensive veterinary needs, and you as the owner approve it, we are within 42 miles of the University of Tennessee Veterinary Hospital and receive emergency on-site care from Countryside Veterinary Services .
