Congratulations on being a horse owner, regardless if you ownthree horses and have been riding for years, or if this is your very first horse! We as loving animalowners, treat and view our beloved four legged friends as a part of our families,and they in turn deserve the best in what the equine
industry has to offer.

Full Circle Farm is the area’s new and premiere boarding establishment  that focuses on upholding an elite standard of care, so you the horse owner can worry about what is important; spending quality time in the saddle or just visiting with your horse.

Whether you are a novice or an experienced horse owner, we all look for the same standards that expect for the facility to uphold which include:

• Turnout

• Stall Maintenance

• Feeding programs

• Riding facilities

• Extra amenities

• Friendly, family type atmosphere

FCF holds these standards in the highest importance as described below

Turnout

FCF offers 6 grass paddocks and two larger pastures for our boarders. Horses are turned out in groups no larger than groups of three to help control heard type issues and with the intention of keeping “horseplay” to a minimum. FCF tries to keep horses turned out as much as possible to help promote the healthy digestive process of the horse which as been scientifically proven to increase horse happiness and health with social outdoor societies. In the summer boarders are offered PM turnout to keep darker horses as well as competing horses from sun burning and bleaching out of their coats. Horses are not turned out in extreme wet and sloppy conditions at the discretion of the owners of FCF to avoid loosing shoes and injuries.

Stalls

FCF offers twelve 12X12’ rubber matted stalls with classic “yoke” door design to promote socialization. Horses are able to stick their heads out to take a treat, or look around at their neighbors, rather than being in a classic closed stall. Two water buckets are hung in each stall which enable FCF to monitor how much the horses drink on a daily basis. Each stall has their own overhead fan for use in the warmer weather as well as fans overhead spanning the length of the barn. Stalls are cleaned daily, and fresh shavings are added to keep the horses in comfort.

Feeding Program

FCF is happy to promote the feeding of Purina products. The main type of feed used the Purina Ultium  Feed, which is formulated for the active competing horse. Ultium is Purina’s utmost premiere feed for the horse industry. FCF is also happy to feed other Purina feeds such as Strategy, Born to Win and Equine Senior, depending on your horse‘s individual needs. Horses are fed twice daily with lunch time feeding available upon request for competing and hard working horses.

Among FCF’s 30 rolling acres, we are proud to grow, harvest and bale our own Orchard Grass Hay to feed to our boarding horses. Any additional hay that is needed in the winter months are bought locally upholding the utmost quality.
