All stalls are fully matted and cleaned on a daily basis. We offer both 10’x10′ and 10’x12′ box stalls and a boarder locker room.

There are several pastures and rings available for turnout and riding, and if you board a horse you also have access to our brand new 72’x120′ indoor arena.

 

Horse Leasing

In addition to horse boarding there are several types of horse leasing available at the farm.

The most popular way to lease a horse at Spruce Meadow Farm has always been a half lease.

You can lease a horse on a month to month basis.

Anyone that half leases a horse must take a lesson/week.

Half Lease:  A half lease is $325 per month and includes the following:

  • Use of the horse 3 days/week. (5 days/week in the working student program)
  • You have first rights to the horse at shows and do not have to pay a horse use fee.

  • You are responsible for maintaining your horse’s tack.
  • When you ride your horse you are responsible for picking out your horse’s stall and making sure he/she has fresh, clean water.
  • Half leasing a specific horse is available from September 1st through June 1st. uring June, July & August Open Half Leasing is available.

Open Half Lease:   An open half lease is available during the summer months (June 1st – September 1st)

The open lease includes all of the criteria in a regular 1/2 lease but is limited as to which horse you may ride on a given day.

The horses work harder during the summer months and need scheduled days off.

Certain horses may be needed for specific situations as well which limits their availability at times, due to managing their work load.
