Here at Whispering Farms, we strive to be a boarding facility that stands above the rest. The care and comfort of every horse here, whether it is an upper-level dressage horse or family pleasure horse, is our number one priority.
To keep all our equine friends happy and healthy, we pay attention to the details! We offer a choice of grass hay or high quality alfalfa four times daily, and we feed grain twice daily. We add owner-provided supplements upon request, and horses have access to automatic waterers in their stalls and troughs while outside.
A Premier Boarding Experience
While Whispering Farms is conveniently located just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex, we hope that our horses and riders enjoy all the amenities of a true country experience. Horses enjoy all-day (or all-night, when the days get hot) turnout in either private or group settings, enjoying their lunchtime hay outside their stalls. Inside, they can relax in 12 x 12 box stalls, complete with stall mats, automatic waterers, and windows either to the outside or with a view to the arena.
Our barn staff is experienced in handling all types of horses, and keep a close eye on them for any illness or injury. We rotate blankets according to the weather, and can open or close our barn doors, making sure the temperature stays as comfortable as possible with the changing seasons.
Proper care is key to a happy horse!
We believe that the adage “feed little and often” is particularly true for the modern sport horse, and as such we make sure we provide top quality, nutritionally sound hay and feed. Our preferred grass hay is Tifton 85, which we have analyzed each year for content and quality. We work closely with nutritionists when making feed selections, and currently carry several Hallway Feed options. Our trainers and staff will help clients custom tailor a diet that will cater to their horse’s individual needs.
Our stalls are cleaned daily and bedded with premier quality shavings. Shavings are added on an as needed basis so as to keep horses comfortable, clean, and with a bed they can lie down in and rest. Waterers are also cleaned daily, and the outside troughs are cleaned weekly.
