Horse Boarding: Full and Field

We own a 13 stall bank barn with tackroom, feed room, hot water for horse washing area. We have three large, fenced paddocks, two large pastures with a creek that runs the entire property (totals 35 acres of pasture),  2 outdoor rings (190 X 90 and 190 X 65) and access to riding trails.

Despite the hot weather and lack of rain, our pastures have remained green and lush because of Valley Creek. Our horses enjoy relaxing in the creek during gthe summer, and have 24 hour access to fresh, clean water. Sunset Valley Farm works with the Brandywine Conservancy to maintain the integrity and natural beauty of our property.

Your horse is not bound to a paddock. Our horses run free in the many acres of rolling pasture dotted with trees.

Lastly, Maria Kenny takes the time to know your horse so that any changes can be detected immediately. Your horse will be personally cared for and attended to by Maria. All boarders are well informed regarding the health and well being of their horse. The farm house is occupied by tenants so the horses are rarely left alone.

Field Board:  We offer two types of field board: full field (horse enjoys the outdoors every day and has access to large run in shed. Limited availability and extra charge for stall use for sickness/injury). Partial full board - horses enjoy the outdoors daily but have their own designated stall in the barn for inclement weather, sickness or injury. Not all horses are suited for full field board, and Sunset Valley Farm reserves the right to advise the owner regarding proper board for their horse (based on age, health and breed of horse).
