Boarding
$525.00/Month
We are a day-time farm in Raeford, NC offering a casual environment with serious love for horses. Our style is partial-care boarding where HRF handles the daily tasks of feeding, watering, and maintaining arenas and pastures. The Owners handle their horse's for vet and farrier needs. Those who want to be more involved in their horse's housing can handle stall and hut cleaning if they so choose, but it is not expected. This allows us to stay at an affordable price point.

What comes with your board?
​
Care Overview
-
On‑site farm owners with years of experience and extensive hands‑on knowledge, especially with Senior and Metabolic (IR and Cushings) horses.
-
Housing surrounded by turnout, allowing horses to live in a calm, natural environment with visibility and connection to their herd.
-
AM & PM feedings with the owner’s choice of house feeds and soaked beet pulp, along with plentiful hay offered throughout the day.
-
Owner‑provided supplements and medications fed in the morning.
-
Feed deviations from house feeds may be discussed, with owners supplying the feed and an appropriate container.
We communicate with owners as needed to keep everyone informed, but all care decisions and adjustments are made based on the needs of the horse and the practical function of the farm. While we welcome owner input, our responsibility is to provide care that supports each horse’s health, safety, and daily well‑being, and any changes are made with that priority in mind.
