BOARDING PROGRAM
Full care board is offered for broodmares and foals and retired horses. Our staff is greatly experienced in dealing with the special needs of these horses. All horses receive twice daily feedings (more if necessary) of state-of-the-art, Thomas Moore Feeds and premium coastal Bermuda hay. Manufactured in Navasota, Texas, the Thomas Moore Feeds offer a high-quality, fresh product for our equine athletes. Our training and lesson horses receive the Moore Power 12% Protein / 8% Fat Pelleted Ration. Fortified with Moore's vitamin and mineral package and soybean oil, this product provides an outstanding protein and energy source for the working horse while supplementing the forage part of their diet. Senior horses receive the Moore Natural Senior, a product formulated to meet the needs of the Senior working horse. The VPF show horses all maintain beautiful coats, healthy weights, happy stomachs and great joint flexibility with the use of the Thomas Moore Feeds and DAC Supplements of Cool Gut and Opti-Flex. Each stall is equipped with all the necessities to ensure the comfort of the horses, including fans to combat the summer heat. Horses are turned out according to their specific needs.
