Price
List
Boarding:
At
Fairhaven, it’s all about the horses and the land. We try to protect the horses and the land long term instead of making decisions based on instant
gratification. Horses love stability
in their feeding, their pasture mates and their routine. Therefore I love the same things.
In
order to encourage stability, my pricing structure rewards those willing to
commit to longer boarding agreements. The
below pricing reflects “one month commitment/6 month commitment/1 year
commitment (see below):
Full
Board: $400/$375/$350/month.
Horse stalled ½ day & turned out ½ day.
Daily full board
:
(subject to stall availability)
$15/day.
Modified
Full Board: $375/$350/$325/month.
Horse stalled during bad weather, or when grazing needs to be controlled, turned
out during good weather.
*Private turnout available for additional fee.
*10%
commission/payback (from lesson fee), for horses used in lessons.
All
boarding includes: 1) Access to tack room, grooming area, arena and trails. 2)
Up to 6 lbs of grain per day and 1-1 ½ % of body weight in hay or grass, to
maintain good body condition. 3) If
supplied by owner, prepackaged supplements/feed; simple blanketing; & fly
spray. Arrangements can be made for
horses requiring specialty or additional feeds.
Training:
$125/week
or $400/month plus board and expenses:
incl. 5 rides/ week minimum, often 6.
Depending on horses’ age and attention span, sessions may be broken up
into two shorter sessions per day instead of one longer one.
Rain days are traded for off days. Goals
will be set and discussed prior to horses’ arrival date.

You load and unload the horse. If
I load the horse the first 10 minutes are free and it’s a dollar ($1) a minute
after that. Please let me know in
advance if your horse has trouble loading so I can budget time to work with
them.
