We know that things are tough. In view of the changing economic times, we are now offering you more boarding options (See chart below).

At Raspberry Ridge Farms we offer live-on-site management by professional, very experienced horse people. Our fat, happy horses have a natural, healthy lifestyle with tons of pasture and miles of trails and most spend the majority of their time outdoors. They have 320 acres of pastures, including large pasture areas to maintain physical and mental fitness, and four smaller fenced paddocks, four run-in shelters and a varied terrain of hills open pasture and trees. We offer heated water troughs in the winter months, for increased hydration.

We normally have about 30 horses on site. Their care is tailored to the individual need of the horse or pony: from 24/7 outdoors with hay and pasture for "rough-and-tumble" ponies, to stabling with blankets and special care for older or more fragile horses. The prices for boarding, of course, reflects those differences in cost. We have 30 years experience in hands-on care including foaling mares, young horses and elderly horses.

Our boarders tend to be adults and a young people who are eventers, and serious recreational riders who love to hack, but still take lessons and clinics. Some attend a few shows/events. They are a relaxed, supportive group who enjoy riding together and helping each other through schooling difficulties.

We offer and on-site certified level 3 coach who teaches all of the English disciplines and basic Western with a focus on Eventing. We also have a visiting Dressage coach for the serious rider as well as guest clinicians.
