What we do

Boarding, done properly

Swan Creek is a working boarding barn, not a program you have to fit into. Bring your own trainer or ride on your own. Choose your vet and farrier. What we guarantee is the part that happens when you are not here — clean stalls, hay in front of your horse, turnout every day the weather allows, and someone on the property who notices when something is off.

Both arenas stay open to boarders whenever you want to ride. There is no lesson program taking over the ring at six o’clock.

The facility

Ride year round

The indoor arena means January and July look the same on your calendar. It is dragged regularly, lit for evening rides, and open whenever you are. Outside, a large sand arena sits beside the barn with white fencing and pasture views on every side.
