Stall Board
Permanent stall boarding is in the Main Barn. The Main Barn consists of two inter-connected barn aisles, each of which contains twenty 12x12 matted stalls, two tack rooms and a feed room. The area connecting the barn aisles contains a lounge, outdoor patio, bathroom, four wash stalls, utility/laundry room and office.
The current stall board is $835 per month. Board includes daily stall cleaning, grain and hay, private or semi-private turnout, blanketing, booting for turnout, scheduling of health program, worming (excluding wormer) and weekly laundry service (for the horses that is!)
Field Board
Wyndham Oaks offers field board for up to eleven horses. Presently, we only accept geldings. Field boarders are in two sections each with a large run-in to use in inclement weather and acres of lush pasture. Field boarders have a private, heated tack room in their run-ins.
Field board is $465 and includes grain twice a day in winter (once in summer), hay when the pastures need supplementation, use of all Wyndham Oaks facilities and scheduling of the health programs when using the farm vet.
Feeding Program
Wyndham Oaks offers a choice of Pennfield and Culpeper Farmer’s Co-op feeds. Both companies are supported by Kentucky Equine Research, Inc. Culpeper provides on-going nutritional counseling. Feed choices include various pelleted or sweet feeds, oats, beet pulp, and wheat bran. Owner supplied supplements are fed once or twice a day (as requested).
If needed, lunch is served to horses on half-day turnout programs.
Turnout
At Wyndham Oaks we believe that turn out is important for a horse’s physical and mental health. Unless an owner requests otherwise, all horses are turned out daily (weather permitting ) in one of our 25 large grass paddocks or round pens. Several of our paddocks are “diet” paddocks for those horses that cannot have much grass. Horses on private turnout are turned out for up to half a day. Horses on semi-private turnout are generally out all day (or night in the summer).
There is no extra charge for horses that are on stall rest and cannot be turned out.
Health Program
All boarders are required to follow the health program, which includes regular worming and vaccinations. Regular worming is done by our staff (the cost of the wormer is charged to your board bill). Owners may choose to have vaccinations given by their own veterinarian or by the farm’s veterinarian. The cost of vaccinations is not included in board.
Additional Services
The following services are available at an additional charge:
Clipping
Grooming
Winter blanket cleaning and storage
Tack Cleaning Many of our boarders participate in local and regional shows and in clinics. While Wyndham Oaks does not provide trailering services, we can recommend local transportation services for those who do not have their own trailer or cannot find another ride for their horse.
Staff
The farm manager oversees day to day activities at the farm. Additional staff members live at the farm. Staff is carefully selected for their equine management experience and for their love of working with animals.
