About Boarding at Spring Valley Farm
At Spring Valley Farm we value quality, horse-centered care, great coaching and a community of friendly, like-minded people. We are encouraging especially foxhunters, eventers and jumpers to join our community at SVF. (Wanna-be’s and used-to-be’s welcome.)
At SVF, horses will live in small groups in lovely, rolling, wood-fenced pastures or paddocks. Additionally, each horse will have a dedicated stall for use in the case of inclement weather or other incidentals.
We value education, and as such, boarders should expect to take a reasonable number of lessons per month with U.S. Eventing Association certified trainer Camie Stockhausen to help meet their riding goals. Our facilities include an on sight competition-sized arena with jumps, as well as access to the FENCE xc course and the FETA trails.
Boarding at SVF entails a rare combination of the factors that help make boarding your horse a simple pleasure. We are creating a community of like-minded people who support each other and enjoy the ride.
We expect kindness, communication and authenticity from boarders. At SVF, we offer the following:

The Field Day Mission

Our Ethos For Horses
Friends
As herd animals, horses evolved to live in a social setting with other horses. Relationships help equines learn, self-soothe and be more healthy
Freedom
Horses who are allowed the freedom to move at will throughout their day and night can experience better soundness and a higher quality of life
Forage
Whether pasture grazing or enjoying quality hay in the off season, ample forage is key to a healthy microbiome and the quality of life of horses.
