Boarding at Springpoint Farm:
The farm is our
home and we work hard to maintain a high level of care for the horses that stay
with us. We take pride in our facility and we carefully select boarders that
appreciate having access to a year round riding facility and will work with us
to complement our common goals of a safe, healthy and happy environment that is
conducive to learning and camaraderie. Abuse of horses or farm privileges will
undermine these goals for all of us.

Charges for these services are listed below.
Other specialty services, such as deworming, sheath or udder cleaning, hydrotherapy and other medical treatment also require an additional fee.
