Thoughtful Care for Horses

‘Paddock Paradise’ is both a term and a concept used to describe a natural and humane way to keep healthy, happy horses based upon the lives of the wild, free-roaming horses in the US Great Basin. Introduced by veteran hoof care professional and natural horse care advocate Jamie Jackson in his 2006 book ‘Paddock Paradise: A Guide to Natural Horse Boarding,’ the premise of a natural boarding model is to provide safe, humane living conditions which use the horse’s natural instincts to stimulate and facilitate movement and other behaviors that are essential to a mentally and physically sound horse. 

At Great Room Equestrian we are always working to create the best possible environment for our horses — and yours, too. We invite you to come visit and see the difference.

Give your horse the best.

Your horse will be part of an equine herd and enjoy the companionship of other horses. Your horse will sleep better, move around more and experience a daily variety of enrichments.

Your horse will discover items of interest such as scent stations, rolling hay balls, puzzle boxes and hanging treat balls with small amounts of different hay varieties to reward natural foraging behavior.

Grass hay is provided four times each day in feed locations scattered throughout the horses’ forest. Keeping food in the hindgut helps prevent colic and ulcers as well as generating heat in winter.

In addition to clean tubs of well water your horse can choose from up to four flavored buckets of water. Typical water choices are lemon, lavender, peppermint and turmeric/ginger.  Four different salt licks are also offered.
