Retirement Boarding at Open Sky Stables

At Open Sky Stables, we know it’s a difficult decision to see your horse—a long-time companion—move into retirement. We make it easier for you by sending photos and updates, and even a video now and again. Of course, you’re also welcome to stay connected with us via social media and visit as often as you like. Your horse will have access to 30 acres of high-quality natural forage, with four-season water sources, and spacious run-in sheds. Rotational grazing and active pasture management ensure only the best natural feed for your horse, while resident staff check horses multiple times a day. All horses here feel loved, regardless of how often their owners are able to visit. Call us now to discuss how we can give your equine friend the retirement they deserve!
