Diamond R Stables

We feed horses twice a day (morning and evening). At each feeding, horses receive plenty of high-quality orchard grass and timothy hay to keep them well-fed. If your horse requires grain or a special feed/supplement, we will happily feed any owner-provided feed according to your instructions. Fresh, clean water is always available, and we check water buckets regularly (and use heated buckets in winter to prevent freezing).

We primarily feed a mix of orchard grass and timothy hay, which provides excellent nutrition and palatability. This grass hay mix is high-quality and dust-free. We believe consistent quality hay is crucial for horse health, and our boarders have been very happy with the condition and weight of their horses on this diet. (If your horse has specific dietary needs or hay preferences, just let us know!)

Yes. We will administer any supplements you provide to your horse at no extra charge. Simply supply us with the supplement and instructions on dosage, and we’ll add it to your horse’s feed as directed. This includes powdered supplements, electrolytes, etc. We can also give daily medication like Previcox or other oral meds if needed as part of their routine.

Absolutely. If your horse requires medication (for example, antibiotics, Bute, or other prescribed treatments), we can administer those as directed by your veterinarian. We pay close attention to every horse’s health and will follow your vet’s instructions for any medical care. There is no extra charge for giving basic medications or treatments, as caring for your horse’s well-being is part of our service. (Please note that any vet-prescribed medication itself and veterinary visit costs are the owner’s responsibility.) We are also experienced in monitoring injuries or illnesses and will keep you updated on your horse’s condition.

As a boarder at Diamond R Stables, you have flexible access to your horse. Our barn does not keep strict “closed” days – you’re welcome to come seven days a week. Generally, we encourage visits and riding during daylight and early evening hours for everyone’s safety and comfort. Because we live on-site, we can accommodate early or late visits if needed – we just ask that you let us know in advance if you plan to come very early in the morning or late at night. We strive to maintain a peaceful environment for the horses overnight. If you want to hit the nearby trails or haul out to a show, you can come grab your horse and trailer anytime, and of course you can use our arena or round pen at your convenience. In short, our hours are very accommodating to fit your schedule – we want you to enjoy time with your horse as often as possible!
