Fox Hollow Stables in Hillsboro, OR has an upcoming opening for 1 horse come September 1st.
I own a small, private horse boarding facility on 5 acres. Very low key atmosphere. I cater more towards the retired horse or occasional rider. FHS is a 13 minute haul to Chehalem Ridge Nature Park horse trails. FHS is located near the Farmington/219 area. The barn has 5 stalls and I currently have my personal horse and 3 boarded horses between 2 owners.... (read more) The entire property is under 24/7 video surveillance from a variety of security systems in case that is an issue for any potential boarder.
Horses are in a stall with run attached at night with daily group pasture turnout - even in the winter time. I currently do not keep horses outside 24/7 in the summer time, although that could change come next summer. No dry lots available, no rehab stalls/places available. I feed quality 3-string eastern Oregon Timothy hay. Horses are fed in a hay net in their stalls. Owner responsible for grain/supplement preparation - we will feed prepared grain. Waters are checked daily (70qt buckets) and are filled as needed. I clean buckets once a week. Stalls are cleaned daily. I use Nature’s pellet bedding on top of stall mats. The stall currently available is a 10’x12’.
The covered arena is 60’x96’ so not huge but large enough to w/t/c. Sorry, absolutely no lessons, jumping, gaming or trainers allowed on-site.
Ideally looking to add another barefoot gelding to the barn, since this horse would be turned out with 3 other geldings. The ideal candidate is a low key QH-type gelding, in their teens or older, who does not have any stall vices and is easy on fencing. Sorry, I cannot accept any dangerous horses or horses with behavioral issues, nor any cribbers or wood chewers. The ideal owner is mature minded and comes out 2-3 times a week to visit with their horse. I do not currently have room for any additional trailer parking on-site (potential to change come next summer).
In no hurry to find a boarder; correct fit is most important. I live on property and would love someone that will fit in well with myself and the current boarders. If you think Fox Hollow Stables may work for you and your horse, please send me a message and we can set up a time to come tour the place.
