BOARDING
Rusted Star Ranch offers 8 stalls in the main barn and well as 2 stalls in the shed barn. All stalls are 12x12. A large 120 x 190 sand arena, small indoor arena, trails on the property, hot/cold wash stall, and trailer parking is avaliable to boarders. The cement aisle in the main barn gives immediate access to the outdoor riding arena, perfect for working your horse. During inclement weather, the small indoor offers space to lunge and keep your horse worked.
A tack room give boarders a personal space for housing their bridles, saddles, and other equipment. Our staff has a hands-on approach, with an eye for detail towards equine management to make sure each horse is kept healthy, happy, and safe. Stalls, water buckets, and barns are cleaned daily. Horses are turned out on pasture daily during good weather. Our staff is mindful of our pasture management and focuses on proper care for the productivity and longevity of our pastures. A dry lot is also available. Specialized care for your horse can be tailored as necessary.
All boarders have access to all farm facilities. Our goal at Rusted Star Ranch is to make your boarding experience safe, healthy, and enjoyable. We feel that all boarders and their horses are a part of the Rusted Star family.
