Boarding is not the primary purpose of Honey Creek Ranch but we do offer the service to our customers. Horses boarded at Honey Creek Ranch are given the same shelter, grass or hay and grain as we do our own horses which are normally kept in the pasture. We feed them some grain twice a day, not because we feel it important to them nutritionally, but they also need to know we care for them and we are important to their daily lifestyle.  In other words, we have some of the friendliest horses in East Texas. Beyond the grain our horses have ample grass in the pasture or access to free choice hay.

Yes, we have covered stalls and do accept boarding in the stalls but not for long periods of time. We use the stalls for our stallion of course but even he gets his time to romp in his pasture a few hours each day.

Honey Creek Ranch offers boarding in pasture or stalls. Stall boarding is $10.00 per day and includes grain and hay twice a day . We feed a bulk mixture we purchase at our local feed mill. It consists of 45% corn, 45% protein pellets and 10% oats with just a very little bit of molasses mixed with it and it tests out to be at or near 14% protein.

Our stalls are cleaned every day and completely changed weekly. We also daily use a product called “Sweet PDZ” which is a stall deodorizer and moister reducer and contains no harsh chemicals like lye or other stall mixtures,

Our pastures, depending on the season of the year, consist of costal Bermuda and Bahaia or Rye grass. Or we supply good horse quality hay.  We also feed the horses in the pasture twice a day with the same bulk feed as those in the stall.  Experience has taught us that feeding pasture-kept horses twice a day makes for a lot gentler and easier to catch a horse. A gentler horse makes life a lot easier when it is time to bath, groom, shoe or load.

The price for pasture boarding is $8.00 per day including the twice daily feeding of grain.
