Daily Hands On Care
Arondel Equestrian Center’s Premiere Horse Retirement program specializes in high-end care for retired sport horses and companion horses. It is perfect for the horse that needs special hands-on daily care and attention due to age, illness or if they wish to maintain their elite diva status well into their retirement! We provide full service stall board only.
If you are looking for pasture retirement board, Arondel is not the program for you and your horse.
Our residents live a leisurely life grazing the day away with their horsey friends large grassy well maintained fields with excellent drainage. Our horse to land ratio is between 2-3 acres per horse. Each horse has their own stall for daily private time to eat and rest as well as protection during inclement weather. The horses are brought into the barn daily for feeding and a body check. This ensures all the horses have the opportunity eat their all their grain and/or supplements/medications without worrying about their neighbor finishing it for them. This is especially important for the senior with dental issues who may take longer to eat and needs their calories. The daily handling and care of the horses ensure their health and well being is closely monitored.
The horses are grouped by temperament, soundness and activity level into small number groups from private turnout to 4-6 horse herds. Arondel Equestrian Center's boutique setting is provides quiet relaxing atmosphere for the horses to enjoy their retirement.
Unfortunately, we are not able to accept stallions.
