BOARDING
Whether
you are a do-it-yourselfer or like us to help with your horse’s
care, we have a number of boarding services to meet your needs.
The owners live on the farm, and they and the staff check on your
horse multiple times daily.
We have 15 stalls in three barns, as well as limited pasture boarding.
- REGULAR
BOARD: Includes
hay, bedding, mucking, feeding and turnout. You provide your horse’s
exercise and grooming services.
FULL
BOARD: Includes hay, bedding, mucking, feeding and
turnout. We feed your horse’s supplements diligently.
We know how expensive supplements can be and we do this free
of charge. You provide your horse’s exercise and grooming
services.
- FULL
TRAINING BOARD: Includes
all of the services of Full Board plus basic riding supplies
(e.g., pads, leg wraps), and lessons and coaching for you and/or
training for your horse. Training Board is customized to include
training and coaching at horse shows. Basically, your horse
will receive professional rides four days per week. Riders
may opt to use two of these rides per week as lessons. We provide
night check services and blanketing, and manage routine dental,
de-worming, farrier and veterinary services at no extra charge.
Ship-ins for
lessons and training are welcome; however, all horses coming onto
the property must present a current negative Coggins document before
stepping off the trailer.
LESSONS
West
End Equestrian Center welcomes individuals with beginner to advanced
riding skills to participate in our lesson program. We offer instruction
in every aspect of English riding from beginner flat work in traditional
hunt seat to upper-level Dressage, with nice stadium jumps in the
larger ring.
We
offer lessons starting at children 5 years of age through adults
of any age. We give discounts on our lessons if you are riding
your own horse. We offer introductory rates and package discounts.
It would be difficult to find a more affordable package.
Whether you ride
for pleasure, fitness, relaxation, and/or competition, we have
a program that will fit your style and budget. You can depend on
us for enjoyment and a challenge. We are dedicated to improving
your skills in riding and horsemanship.
TRAINING
Our training services are generally for horses three years of age
and up. Mares, geldings and stallions are welcome. If your horse
is to be a competitive jumper, we can continue its training while
competing with it at shows. Whether you have a young horse that needs
professional training or a mature horse that requires a bit of supplemental
education to enhance your riding enjoyment, we can assist you.
Our training goal is simple: quiet horses that are easy to ride and
handle.
Whatever a horse’s intended career, a proper education is one
of the greatest gifts an owner can give, both to himself and the
horse. Investment in a horse’s education will not only improve
the value of a horse, but more importantly, it will improve the value
of the time you spend with your horse.
