All Inclusive – for your peace of mind
You need a retirement home for your horse, or a temporary home for a mare with a foal. Perhaps you have a horse that is recovering from an injury that needs rest and recuperation. You want to know that your horse is getting the best care possible and enjoying a relaxed and care-free life. With everything taken care of for you and regular updates on your horse’s progress you can relax and be free of any worries about his well-being.
Our All Inclusive package gives you complete peace of mind, whether you are far away or just unable to come to the barn. We treat your horse as if it were one of our own and take care of all his day to day needs. We’ll schedule all his routine appointments, groom him thoroughly once a week, take care of his blanketing, and most importantly take the time to get to know him and make sure he feels at home.
We want the cost of boarding to reflect the costs we incur and the time we need to spend to meet your horse’s needs. Because every horse is different our All Inclusive package is completely customizable to the needs of each horse. Together we will tailor the package so that it takes into account your horse’s particular feeding requirements, personality and the amount of general care needed, so that you will be paying for exactly what you are getting – the very best level of care for your horse.

Housing & Feed
Your horse will have access to a full-sized stall that opens up to a well-drained paddock, or a paddock with a shelter. We firmly believe in an “open door” policy for the horses. In the summer months we try to keep the horses out in the fields as much as possible. During the winter months horses are turned out for the day and brought in at night, although there will be the rare occasion where we have to lock the horses inside overnight to keep the cold out.
Our customized feeding program is geared to the individual requirements of your horse. We feed a good quality grass mix hay. If you would like to supplement with alfalfa for extra protein, we can feed a flake each night for an additional $30/month. We carefully choose our selection of grains and concentrates and adjust them according to the needs of each horse. Supplements and medications are not included, but we will add them to the feed for an additional $20/month. If your horse is a hard keeper or in heavy training and requires more feed then the budget allows, we can discuss a customized package that better suits his requirements.
General Care
We take care of all your blanket requirements including cleaning and repairs. We recommend that you send along a rain sheet, a winter blanket, a fleece cooler, a halter and lead rope, and a fly mask.
Grooming
Once a week we’ll make sure your horse is groomed top to bottom.
Acclimatization
If your horse is coming in from an area with a very different climate he will require extra care and attention until he has adjusted. We will work closely with you to make sure your horse has the best transition possible.
Vet & Farrier
We will schedule all required appointments with our vet and farrier and attend to your horse during these appointments.
Veterinary care
Veterinary fees are not included and you will be billed separately for those services.
Farrier Services
We include approximately 8 trims per year for your horse, these are paid for by Seabrook Stables. The number of trims required will be dependent on the growth rate of your horse’s feet. Any additional services are certainly available but will be billed separately. Please contact us to discuss your needs.
Medical Care and Supplies
When horses are brought in we always check for cuts and scrapes. If we find anything it’s promptly taken care off. We will provide some basic medical supplies like wound sprays, antibiotic ointment, disinfectants, bandages, and Bute. In case of emergency the vet or farrier will be called immediately, and of course, you will be notified right away and kept informed of your horse’s progress while we take care of your his needs. Injuries requiring extended medical care or ongoing use of medical supplies will need to be discussed on an individual case basis. You may be billed for extra time and supplies required.
Special Requirements
If you have special requirements, please contact us to discuss them with us.
