To help support our hard-working equine friends over the winter months (December - March), part boarding our horses is available. 

What is Part Boarding?

Part boarding is when approved riders pay a monthly fee to ride one of our well-schooled horses several times per week. It also means that you may be sharing the horse with another part boarder.

Commitment 

  • 1 ride per week - quarter board
  • 2 rides per week -part board
  • TEAD takes care of all farrier, vet, worming and any other expenses that may arise.
