Full Board

Cotton Meadows Farms offers boarding opportunities to motivated, enthusiastic riders with common interests. We offer full board only. Pasture board is not available.

There are 10 stalls that adjoin the new indoor arena that are available for boarders and there are another 4 stalls available to boarders in the small barn. The main barn is reserved for horses in training and Debi's horses.

We do occasionally make arrangements with boarders who would like to work off a portion of their board or lessons by helping with barn chores. Please contact Debi if you are interested in doing this.

Training / Sales Board

Cotton Meadows Farm offers training board for a very reasonable rate. We are a small operation with low overhead so we are able to provide excellent services at a more reasonable rate than many other farms. Horses in training with Debi are ridden exclusively by her with a minimum of 4 rides per week. Horses in training board are turned out approximately 12 hrs/day in small groups. Private paddock turn-out is available for an additional fee.

If an owner also wishes to sell a horse, the standard training board fee applies as well as a 5% sales commission when the horse sells. Expenses related to advertising and showing are the responsibility of the owner.

Special consideration may be given to experienced dressage or event horses that are currently showing at the upper levels.

Please contact Debi for additional details.
