I can't believe Peanut is a 32 year old horse! She is living in her private pasture opposite the front yard in the Hillside pasture area. I was upstairs working when I saw our cat Daisy asleep and Peanut grazing into view. 🥰

The Hillside pasture area is 16 acres divided into varying pasture sizes for pasture-only board. There is one private pasture, two semi-private pastures (2 horses per pasture), and two group pastures (3 to 4 horses per pasture) at Hillside.
If you are looking for full-care pasture board that feels more like being at home than the hustle and bustle of an Equestrian facility, then Hillside might just be what you are looking for. Hillside has direct access to The Trails at Deer Creek Farms. The arenas at Creekside are a short ride down the road, and are available for use.
Contact us to inquire about availability at Hillside, Creekside, or Countyline. (I'll have an exciting update about the Countyline expansion soon.😁)
