Horse Board

Located on the border of Saanich and Central Saanich on Wallace Drive, a 3 minute drive to the Red Barn Market on West Saanich Rd. You can purchase grains and alfalfa and timothy cubes there and Greenhawk is a 5 minute drive from the barn. Super handy! We are a small private barn that offers self and co-op board. We all share in the basic duties and my hope is that you treat the barn as if it is your own. Currently we have 4 horses and a mini in co-op. 2 horses in self-board. We have a 150' x 75' hog fuel arena, getting new footing in mid-April. The arena is well lit and well drained. Only closed in snow or if arena is frozen. Shavings for bedding are included when available. We have 2 crosstie areas, instant hot water, and areas for grazing, but not 24/7 turnout. Stalls are approximately 12x12 with some variance in sizes but all a very good size and all with walk out paddocks. I have 1 outside stall and paddock and 3 barn stalls and paddocks coming available April 1st, 15th and May 1st. (Possibly sooner but I am doing some maintenance on a couple so depending when I get that done). Duties of Self-board: Maintain their areas including hay storage, tack room, stall and paddock. Sweep and rake barn areas as needed. Feed, water, and clean your own horse daily. Co-op Duties: At each shift- Feed co-op horses hay nets and mash/grain, fill waters, clean stalls and paddocks, sweep and rake barn area. Prep hay nets and mash for next feed. ***It is up to the horse owner to clean their own water buckets and to bring bedding into their horse's stalls, this makes for much quicker shifts. Outside coaches welcome. Leasers welcome (max 2 per horse). HCBC Mandatory. Prices: (plus GST) Self-Board $400 (includes full access to all facilities and bedding) Co-op 4 shifts per week $450 Co-op 2 shifts per week $550 Co-op 1 shift per week $650 Hay is NOT included in prices but for your convenience hay is available for pre-purchase (2 weeks at a time). For example if your horse goes through 12 bales a month, you may pay for 6 bales on the 1st of the month and 6 bales on the 15th. Price of hay will vary depending on availability. Current price is $17/bale. Please email if interested in coming to view the barn!
