Horse Boarding in Smyrna Tennessee

Board your horse with us

Are you looking for horse boarding in the Smyrna Tennessee area? I can help. I have a small 5 acre farm between I-24 and I-840 and I will treat your horse like my own. At this time I have 3 openings. (References available upon Request)

All horses boarded here get the following care at my facility.

• Fed Daily Nutrena Safechoice Grain - amount is determined by the current weight of the horse
• Fastrack Priobiotic
• Good quality grass hay as needed
• Garlic to help keep fly's away
• Fly Preditors are also used to keep down flys

If you provide a blanket in the winter time your horse will be blanketed as the weather determines. I do not blanket unless it is extremely cold, your horse is shivering, or if the weather drops more then 25 degrees in a 24 hour period.

I do not charge to hold for the farrier or vet as long as my own horse is getting done that day. There will be a $10.00 fee to hold your horse if my horse is not being seen by the farrier or vet.

I am 8 miles from Walter Hill Horse Trails, less than an hour to Percy Werner Park and about an hour and 20 minutes away from Natchez Trace Trailhead in Franklin Tennessee.

I study Parelli Natural Horsemanship and I have currently passed level one and I'm studding level two. This is not a requirement for boarding at this facility but please understand that I treat horses naturally not harshly. Currently one boarder studies Parelli also and one does not. If you want to study Parelli with us we get together as often as we can and practice together. We usually have a play day once a week.

I am a multi breed facility and believe horses are companions and no breed is better then another.

Currently I do not have electricity or water in the barn. I know this is an inconvenience but I have a flashlight to light up both tackrooms after dark. Since horses are not stall kept water is not an problem. The water troughs are filled every few days to keep the water fresh. I also have a small paddock for horses to be put in if they are hurt or need to be on a dry lot. The dry lot is next to the main pasture so they can visit over the fence.

Coming Soon: Over the next few months I will be creating an obstacle course with bridges, teeter totters, Car Wash, jumps, and much much more. New items are being added all the time.

Rates:

• Pasture Only (no barn at this time) $200 per month. The field used for this has many trees for horses to get shelter under. This field also gets fed hay year round.
• Pasture with Barn Access $250 per month. Horses are kept outside 24/7 with access to the barn. They are put up daily in stalls to eat. This ensures they get full supplements without other horses running them off thier feed. This field has 3 rotation fields.
• Daily Dewormer is $25 per month (this is not required)
• For an extra $45 a month you can have your farrier and paste worming paid. I have added up the fee's for the farrier and the bi-monthly worming fee's and divided by 12. You can pay a portion each month or pay them individually when they are due.
• For an extra $60 a month you can have your farrier and a daily wormer paid.
• If you require Stall kept horses the fee is $350 per month. You horse can be turned out during the day or during the evening in the main field with the other horses, or into a small private paddock. Shavings, daily hay, and stall cleaning is provided.

I will attempt to work with anyone for any additional special needs that you or your horse might need. I do not believe in charging outrageous fees for simple chores. I do have a small list of things that I charge additional fees for and you will get a list when you board here. Everyone that has seen the list seems that it is extremly fair. I have a BS degree from MTSU in Equine Science and I try to continually learn new and improved ways to do things.

I use a Natural Balance Farrier that works really well with all horses. He takes his time and does a great job. We use the Tennessee Equine Hospital which only works with horses. They are a wonderful set of vets.
