Retirement Boarding

A Dream Retirement Getaway!

Whether you have a trusty trail horse, a hunter/jumper, or a thoroughbred racehorse who is ready for retirement, 7 Springs Farm can be your horse's dream retirement getaway! Our retirees enjoy their days out in lush pastures with their buddies, and your horse can have a comfy 12'x10' stall for nights with plenty of shavings. That way we can give every horse lots of love & attention!


Each of our seven turnout pastures are between 10 and 100 acres on our 320 acre farm. They each have a pond with a natural spring and/or automatic waterers supplied by our well. There are mineral blocks in every turnout, and our rich pasture has excellent grass forage year round. We bail our own quality organic hay that is an orchard grass/clover mix. We are glad to feed extra supplements to the horses that come into the barn at night if you supply them.


Our location is ideal for the retired horse because the Ozarks have milder winters and cooler summers than the rest of the midwest. Here at 7 Springs Farm, your horse can be a horse again!

Meet the Horses

This is Jordan and Cassie, and they are best friends! If you are interested in meeting some of our retirees, you can visit our meet the horses page (coming soon.)


Meet the Horses!

The ultimate gift.

All of our boarding packages allow your horse to be out on high quality grass pasture for 12 - 24 hours a day. Depending on which package below you choose for your horse, you can customize his or her schedule to best fit their needs. If you want to keep your horse on any supplements you have them on, you can either ship Smart Pak Supplements to the farm, or if there is just one or two that our feed stores carry (such as electrolytes, bran, etc.) we can add it to your monthly invoice. It's up to you. If your horse has trouble keeping on weight, we usually recommend keeping them on similar nutritional supplements you use regularly to help with that issue. We like all of our retired guys to be "fat and happy!"

We know it is a difficult decision to let your horse, a long time friend, go to a retirement farm. We try to make it easier for you by sending monthly photos and an update of your buddy. Possibly even a video every once in a while! That way you can see your horse living the good life and know that you gave them the ultimate gift.

This is the LIFE!

Pasture

Pasture Retirement Board:

Please note that it takes a special horse to be able to live out in the pasture full time. It may be quite difficult for your horse to adapt, especially if they have always been stalled. This is why we offer two "stall boarding" packages that also allow your horse maximum time out on pasture.

Includes:

  •   Turnout in a grass pasture
           with friends
  •   Hay when needed
  •   Weekly Grooming
  •   Quarterly Worming
  •   Trimming every 8 weeks
  •   Monthly Baths in the warm
           months

    • $200/month

    Premium

    Premium Retirement Board:

    With this premium retirement package, we bring the horses in at night and let them out to pasture in the morning. We get to check them over, monitor their hay and water consumption, and feed any additional supplements you provide. If you are going to provide extra supplements, we ask that you set up Smart Packs to be sent to the farm. This option is ideal for any horse that needs more individualized attention, or maybe can't be out on pasture 24/7.

    Includes:

  •   12+ Hours on Pasture
  •   Daily Turnout in a grass
           pasture with friends
  •   Personal Stall
  •   Hay & Grain
  •   Weekly Grooming
  •   Quarterly Worming
  •   Trimming every 8 weeks
  •   Monthly Baths in the warm
           months

    • $250/month

    Deluxe

    Deluxe Retirement Board:

    This is our most customizable package, and also gives us the most amount of time to spend with your horse...so they will get lots of extra love and attention! You can choose to give your horse as much or as little pasture time as you want. They can come in for nights, or come in for a couple hours during the heat of the day, or stay in their stall with a couple hours of turnout.

    Whatever your horse's needs are, we should be able to meet them! We still get to check them over, monitor their hay and water consumption, and feed any additional supplements you provide. If you are going to provide extra supplements, we ask that you set up Smart Packs to be sent to the farm. This option is ideal for any horse that needs the most individualized attention.

    Includes:

  •   Customizable Schedule - see
           below for details
  •   As much or as little pasture
           time as your horse needs
  •   Daily Turnout in a grass
           pasture with friends
  •   Personal Stall
  •   Hay & Grain +
           Horse Flax.

           months

    Veterinary Care:

    All veterinary costs will be billed to the owner.
    Immunizations are required once per year and will be included on that month's invoice. Owners will be consulted with for all other veterinary care. In an emergency, if we cannot get a hold of the owner we will obtain the necessary veterinary care to the extent of the maximum dollar amount specified by the owner's written permission.

    Farrier Work:

    We cover the cost of trims approximately every 8 weeks. If your horse requires shoes or needs corrective shoeing, that is not a problem. We have a very good farrier that has helped one of our horses in particular almost fully recover from a very bad quarter crack. The cost for shoeing, however, is extra and will be included on your next invoice.

    Give us A call sometime!

    We would love to learn more about your horse and what you would like for him in his retirement! We know how important your long-time friend is to you, and we promise to give him the best of care. Even though you won’t be able to see him every day, we send out pictures and a monthly update of how everyone is doing. That way your friend can still be a part of your life.
