Alden's Acres - Horse Boarding
Barn
We have a 30 x 40 foot barn that is set only 50 feet from the house. There are five stalls; each is approximately 8 x 10 feet in size. The barn is light and airy, and always stays dry. There is plenty of room for storing tack during your stay. There is also plenty of room to park your vehicles and trailers next to the barn.
Feeding and Care
We feel it is in your horses best interest to maintain the same feed that they are used to eating, therefore, we do not supply hay or grain. With prior notice, we can make arrangements to have hay delivered. All stalls have grain bins and water buckets. We do supply plenty of bedding, and we ask that you pick your horse's stall daily and strip stalls prior to leaving. There is plenty of fresh water available for watering and bathing your horses. We have acres of fields behind the barn, but they are not currently enclosed by a fence. Next year, perhaps.
Trails on our property
There are trails on our property, courtesy of an old logging road. Terrain is hilly, but it makes a nice ride when you don't want to trailer out to adjoining trails.
Other Trails
We have miles and miles of trails within minutes of Alden's Acres. State land abuts our neighbor's land, and less than 10 miles away is the Allegany State Park with 90 miles of bridle trails.
Vet Care & Tack
There are several large animal vets in the area as well as a tack shop for last minute needs. We suggest that you bring extras of those things that get lost or broken when you least need it. We have a directory at the house of emergency numbers.
Requirements
The State of New York requires a current Coggins test. The Allegany State Park asks that you use approved riding helmets (ASTM E-1163).
Rates
Rates are $5 per day per horse. If you request to have hay supplied, there will be an additional cost based on the going rate per bale + $1 for delivery per bale.
