Program board

How the $1,000 rate works.

Board is $1,000 a month while your horse is in full training or you ride in a lesson program, with the program paid on top. Otherwise it's $1,200.

Board pays for care, never for training. A program is always its own charge, on top of board.

Program packages are coming soon. Until then, ask us what counts as a program.

Before move-in

Bring a current Coggins.

Texas requires every horse at a boarding or training stable to have a negative Coggins test from the last 12 months. The test checks for equine infectious anemia (EIA). It's a Texas Animal Health Commission rule, and it covers every horse on the property, the barn's own included.

Bring a copy of the test when your horse arrives. After that, your horse needs a new negative test every 12 months while it boards here. Ask us what else to bring.

Paying

Monthly, and automatic.

Board renews automatically each month. Pay by card or bank account (ACH), through Stripe.

In the client billing portal you can update your payment method and download your receipts at any time.
