At Rocking J, "Everybody knows everybody, Everybody calls you Friend".
Naturalistic outdoor boarding, is RJR's way of working with the way a horse's natural environment. We believe that horses are happier & healthier, and emotionally they love to be with a herd. Our equines, love to be outside, the mares have a lake to swim in and drink out of. There are plenty of trees for natural shade during warm summer months, and in winter the trees provide a windbreak.
$200 / Month - April - August during grass growing season. RJR will monitor the horses daily, and add hay 1x to 2x day , only if needed, they would rather graze on grass before eating hay, and will waste it, if we feed when there is enough grazing.
Our Mares pen has a new feeding station (seen below)
and is a great way to keep horses separated during feed times. The most aggresive horses come in to slots and a gate closed behind them, and released when all is finished. We hope to construct the same for the geldings pen either fall of 2010 or in 2011.
2x day Hay is fed during September - March. when we start graining horses .
$225/ 1x day grain
$250/ 2x day grain, or extra hay
Your horse should be evaluated and fed according to his size and how easily he maintains weight.
RJR has an Indoor Arena. A round pen, and a new Outdoor arena. Heated Warm room with refrigerator, and Cowboy Decor. Covered 30x60 Shady pavilion, with fans, makes even the hottest day bearable if you are out at RJR and need to cool off, with ice cold well water farm faucet right there handy to the shady pavillion. We are loaded with plenty of lovely wooded trails for you and your horse to enjoy.
For lay ups, Stall is $375/month, Full Care, with access to arenas, & round pen for turn out.
Self care: you are doing your own feeding. Stall cleaning and bedding are extra $100/month, and only on month to month, for only short term useage.
At RJR we believe stalls are not the most natural living for horses. Happy horses are outdoors, and take shelter in the woods, and sheds. Full Care is only availiable if horse can't be outside, and is priced according to what services the horse will require. If an owner wants the convienience of having a horse in a stall , here is the next best thing: ALL THESE WILL HAVE RUNS SO HORSE CAN GO OUTSIDE WHEN HE WANTS TO, no turn out necessary with these, horses can run back and forth and exercise themselves.
Future: Villas $425 for your horse: Reserving Now! To be built in 2011. These will be stalls with indoor acess, or covered acess. The new building will look like a thorobred style barn, with covered porch out front and tie ups to posts in that covered area.
