Everything EQUINE is available at Hard Rock Stables.   You will find a list of services below that highlight those most commonly requested, but if you need or want a service that is not on the list, please feel free to call us.  We can help.  No equine job is too big or too small.   We are here to meet your needs.


  • BOARDING

    We offer 40 premium box stalls for your boarding needs.  Our secure stalls have been recently renovated using farm milled wood.  Light, well ventilated, and with new secure footing ideal for maximum drainage and comfort, our stalls quickly become welcoming homes for your horses.

    Our barn is well constructed, has superior footing and drainage, and is well lit with amply sized walkways and doors.   All entrances and exits are secure.  Fire protection and a practiced fire plan are in place.   Where possible, we have optimized natural light for your benefit.  In general, Hard Rock offers an airy, light, and stress free environment for you and your horse.

     

    Our boarding options include:

    • monthly board- We will welcome you and your horse and call this "home".  Hard Rock offers more than just a great stall, however.   Our arenas, round pens, and trails make us the best choice for you.  No trailering necessary for you to enjoy a trailride - we have fabulous trails right on the property.  We also can extend an invitation to your own trainer, vet, farrier, or riding instructor.   Treat us like your second home.
    • seasonal board - Many people have shelter and seasonal accomodation for their horse but need off season board or care.   Perhaps you winter in the south and you have boarding needs in the winter - we can help!

    • layover - if you re traveling through the area or you are transporting your horse for whatever reason, we will welcome him for the night.

    Hard Rock Stables offers a transportation service for your horse.   If you are coming to board or for lessons and you do not have a trailer, call us to discuss transportation.  If you are buying or selling horses and you require transportation, call us for pricing.   We are happy to offer secure transportation to you and your horse   We abide by all DOT requirements.   Any horses being transported will require a current coggins and rabies certificate.

  • SEMINARS, CLINICS, DEMONSTRATIONS & SHOWS

    If you are searching for a dynamic place to host your equine event, think HARD ROCK STABLES.  We are centrally located and boast first class facilities for equine events.  Our spacious arena and banks of stalls make us a logical choice for seminars, shows, auctions and more.   Why drive miles and miles when a first rate facility is just around the corner?

  • Farm Crimped Oats at Hard Rock!

    We are pleased to offer a new product and a new service!  We recently acquired a real, honest to goodness oat crimper!   Not only can we crimp oats for our lucky boarders, but we can crimp oats that you bring in for your horses!   

    In case you didn't know, crimped oats result in delivering not only a tastey feed that your horses will love, but it also maximizes the food value for your animals.  The really great thing is that while crimped oats cost twice as much as whole grain, we can save you money!!!  We can crimp for significantly less than the cost of buying crimped oats in a feed store.

    Stop in and watch our machine in action - and if there is any doubt about whether your horse will like our product, take a handful home and ask him!   

     

  • Horse Sales

    We recognize that sometimes people want to sell and buy horses.  Maybe you are selling because your horse doesn't meet your needs or requires a different level of rider.  Maybe you are buying a new best friend.  Either way, we occasionally have the opportunity to be "matchmakers" and we may have a horse for sale that is perfect for you or we can help you sell your horse to a good home and find another.  Regardless, we work on a commission basis and we are happy to try to match horses and people so that everyone is happy.  Ask us for more details.  We will be happy to show you any horses we have available and we have huge networks to help you reach out to other barns to find the perfect horse and/or to sell yours.

    All horses on our premises must have a current coggins test.  No horse will be offered for sale withouth evidence of his coggins.

 Hard Rock Stables has a slate of services that may, at first blush, look typical for a horse facility.  But take a moment to look beyond the list of features to the quality and the special touches that we can offer while still doing so at comparable prices.   The big difference is the degree of our commitment on a family level.   We are proud of Hard Rock and we are pleased to welcome you to our premier horse boarding and training facility.
