Board at Deer Creek Equestrian Center is full care, catering to the individual needs of the horse & owner. We limit the number of horses per acre to make sure there is no overcrowding, and the horses are happy and healthy. Horses are fed twice a day and provided with plenty of hay. We supply grass hay, salt and minerals. Feed is owner's choice, and billed at market price for reimbursement. Owner/Manager holds a Bachelor of Science in Horse Management and Production, and lives on site.
