We are not going to be the cheapest place in town, but we will give your horse the care and attention they desrve for a
fair price. I don't believe "one size fits all" so we have meal plan options based on the diet your horse needs.
Every boarder is required to read and acknowledge the safety rules. Everyone needs to make sure safety is on their mind at all times. We have developed set oof rules (not guidelines - see link below) that everyone must follow. The first step in your decision process is to read and understand them. If there is anything in there you, or your potential guests disagree with, the D-D is probably not the place to bring your horse.
The next step is to look at our boarding agreement (see link below) and make sure you are comfortable with the language. Unfortunately, we live in a time where nothing is simple. If you don't understand something, send us a note on the CONTACT page or call.
Finally, look at the pricing options to make sure you understand the cost.
Once all of that is done, we can get your horse settled in, comfortable and content.
That's our goal,
Rich

FEEDS AND SUPPLIES
Equine Adventure
2011
Our stables are undergoing light remodeling through the end of this year.
Therefore, space is limited and your horse may be moved to a different stall
from time to time. Our goal is to provide clean, safe and comfortable facility for
our guests and their owners.
WHERE HORSES ARE FAMILY
We buy the highest quality feeds and supplies available. We
don't travel to remote areas of the country to bring back
truclkloads of stale feed just to save a few bucks. We deal with
trusted, local suppliers. This year, our hay is second cutting
from Klaber Farms in Falmouth, KY. Klaber is a registered Angus
farm known for their high quality grasses.
Grain is purchased from Trupoint Cooperative -
Lebanon OH

Bedding and supplies are supplied by Buckley
Brothers - Monroe, OH and Dalton's Hardwood in
Franklin.
D-D RANCH
The D-D will offer boarding services on a "first come" basis. The decision to
remove an animal from the main barn and place them into the quarantine area
is at the sole discretion of D-D management.

BOARDING
The choice to board your horse is a big step. Here at
the D-D we understand that it can be a difficult one.
We work hard to earn the trust of our boarders and
their animals so both will be comfortable. Recently, I
spoke with a young lady on the phone who wanted to
know about boarding. I started by asking what her
horse eats (that's important). She bristled, then said "I
don't think your stables is the kind of place I would be
interested in". Based on her behavior, I was about to
tell her that anyway when she said, "I just want a
regular boarding place" and we parted ways. I felt
sorry for her horse.
We established this business to CARE for horses, not
just to warehouse them. I am usually appalled when I
visit the "puppy mill" style boarding facilities. Many of
them have fifty or a hundred 8x10 stalls with concrete
floors that only get cleaned a few times each month. I
visited one a few weeks ago and was saddened to see
horses in small stalls, rocking back and forth from
boredom. It reminded me of an insane assylem. I could
not run a place like that.
