*As horses move into their 20s, 30s, and beyond, they tend to require closer and more frequent attention as well as adjustments to their living and eating conditions. The graduated boarding fee schedule reflects the increases in labor and feed costs as these elders progress through the geriatric stages of life. Any increase in board fee to the next level will be discussed with the owner well in advance.

Board fees do not include:

Major or ongoing illness/injury care

Attending the horse during non-ranch scheduled veterinary appointments

Shoes

Cost of owner-requested supplements or medications

Cost of medications or first aid supplies used for your horse

*If an emergency arises we will attend to your horse, contact a vet, and obtain medical care as quickly as possible. Once we have ascertained a preliminary diagnosis, we will contact you and you will then be the decision maker for ongoing treatment for your horse. Additional service fees may be applied in emergency situations, dependent upon each unique circumstance.

We understand that each horse and owner may have special needs and we are happy to discuss how we can accommodate you in order to ensure that you feel confident that your equine partner is getting the best care you can provide.

Training:

Only Natural Training focuses on building or improving the relationship and understanding between horse and rider/handler. No matter one’s skill level or experience, it is always possible to reach higher levels of partnership with one’s horse.

At this time, Karen is accepting a limited number of horses for training. If you are focused on expanding your knowledge of Horse and sharing that with your equine partner, please call Karen to discuss whether her philosophy fits your needs.
