Grass pasture turnout is available for all boarders depending on weather and pasture conditions.

For specific pricing and details, please contact us directly. We're happy to discuss your needs and provide tailored information. We also offer a discount on board in exchange for work around the barn. These opportunities are extremely limited.

We provide minerals and salt. We aim to ensure your miniature horse or pony receives a balanced and nutritious diet tailored to their needs. 


At Honest Desires Farm, we welcome you to bring your own feed and supplements, at your expense, for your miniature horse or pony. However, we ask that you inform us on our contract of any specific dietary needs or restrictions your animal may have so we can ensure they receive the appropriate care and nutrition. 


At Honest Desires Farm, we clean stalls daily to ensure a comfortable and healthy environment for your animals. Pastures are maintained regularly, with tasks such as mowing, manure removal, and checking for any hazards to keep the area safe and enjoyable for your horses and ponies. 


At Honest Desires Farm, we encourage you to partner with a vet for emergencies and general health concerns. We use Tri-County Animal Clinic.

We require current health and vaccination records for all horses boarded at Honest Desires Farm. This includes proof of core vaccinations (such as Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis, Rabies, Tetanus, and West Nile Virus) and any additional risk-based vaccinations appropriate for your horse's health and travel needs. We also require a negative Coggins test result for Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA). You must disclose if your horse has come from out of state, recent fairs/shows, or been exposed at any other boarding barn contagious illnesses. 


At Honest Desires Farm, we carefully manage social interactions to ensure a harmonious environment for all our animals. We monitor the horses and ponies closely during turnout and pasture time, gradually introducing new arrivals to the group. This helps minimize stress and establish positive relationships. Additionally, we provide ample space and resources, like multiple feeding and watering stations, to reduce competition and encourage natural, peaceful interactions. We also ensure that all animals are trained successfully to electric fencing and are respectful of fences before pasture turn out.


Yes, at Honest Desires Farm, we have specific breed and size restrictions for boarding. We only board ponies and miniature horses. We do not accept full-sized horses, stallions, or foals. These guidelines help us maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all our boarders.

Future Plans

Property Improvements

At Honest Desires Farm, we continually enhance our property to provide the best experience for our animals and guests. Near future improvements include adding a bridge and parking areas, beautifying buildings and fences, and installing benches and tables in our serene, wooded areas. We're also seeking to participate in the government manure management program to ensure environmentally friendly practices. We're always looking for new ways to improve and create an even better experience at Honest Desires Farm. 

Horse Track System

At Honest Desires Farm, we are excited about the possibility of creating a Paddock Paradise, inspired by the popular UK model. This innovative track system aims to provide a natural and stimulating environment for our minis, ponies, and goats. By incorporating various surfaces, feeding stations, and obstacles, we hope to encourage natural behaviors and promote physical and mental well-being. We believe this setup will greatly enhance the enrichment and happiness of our animals, and we're looking forward to making this vision a reality in the near future.
