We strive to provide each horse and rider with the most positive boarding and
training expereince possible. Board includes feeding (free choice Canadian T&A hay and premium grain), pelleted rice bran,
salt blocks in each stall, daily stall cleaning (including plentiful stall bedding), daily fastidious cleaning of water buckets,
blanket changes, minimum half day turnout (individual or with company), wraps removed as necessary, feeding of supplements
and medications, dressing for turnout as neeeded (boots, fly masks, fly sheets etc), documented night check and daily TLC
for your horse.
The farm was designed keeping in mind the advancements in research that demonstrates
the importance of lighting, airflow and herd dynamics in the stalled horse. Each stall is big (12 x 12), bright (with natural
and artifical light sources), and offers rubber mats, safe salt block holders with free choice salt and the ability for each
horse to easily view other horses. Each boarder has a large individual tack locker in one of two heated tack rooms as
well as a dedicated storage space for blankets, trunks etc.

We strongly believe turnout is crucial to each horse's physical and emotonal
well being. The farm offers turnouts from small medical paddocks to large grass fields and the farm staff is committed to
providing each horse a consistent turnout routine. We cater to the needs of each horse and offer half day (4-5 hours)
indivdual and small group (2-3 horses per field) turnout seven days per week (weather and footing permitting of course). In
addition, during the summer and fall months we offer overnight (12-14 hours) turnout (for owners and horses who are comfortable
and happy with it).
The facility offers unique open space for hacking, miles of trails for relaxing, several
all weather outdoor rings (including a regulation dressage arena and several rings with full jump courses) as well as a
spacious, bright indoor arena with excellent footing. There are several wash bays with hot/cold water, two heated tack rooms,
a heated observation room and two heated restrooms (one with a shower). The farm is monitored by a closed circuit surveillance
system.

Proper nutrition is key to feeding any horse but particularly those who undergo
the rigors of training and showing. The farm's feed program is based on excellent quality, plentiful Canadian Timothy
and Alfalfa hay that is analzyed for nutritional content with each incoming shipment. We feed Blue Seal and Purina grain
and the feeding of pelleted, stabilized rice bran (an excellent source of highly digestible fat) is included for each horse.
The feeding of long term unit dose supplements (i.e. Smart-Pak or owner provided baggies) are also included in the board rate.
Kingsway's educated, knowledgable barn management is committed to keeping
current with the most recent equine research in feeding, health care and management and maintains relationships with the region's
most well respected equine professionals including veterinarians, blacksmiths, equine dentists, custom saddle companies and
massage therapists. The farm's assistant barn manager lives on-site and provides the farm's horses with continuity
in meticulous care.
With numerous on-site rated and "open" horse shows the farm is committed
to providing its boarders with the very best in care at an excellent value. Please feel free to email, call or stop by
the farm for additional information on the farm's boarding and training programs.
