Silver Oak Farm is a full service training and boarding facility. We offer personalized care for your horse in a peaceful, safe, horse friendly setting. The barn is well ventilated, has automatic waterers and large 12x12 stalls. Private paddocks and large turnout pastures are available. Horses are on turnout an average of 12 hours per day. The fencing is safe and well maintained. We feed three times a day and stalls are cleaned twice a day. We do not offer pasture board. There is a large shaded dressage ring with mirrors, a shaded round pen, and a show jumping area. The footing in the dressage ring and round pen is regularly graded and the showjumping area is grass.
Lessons are offered on or off the farm. We emphasize correct basics as a foundation to make riding safe and enjoyable. Lessons are primarily given on a student's own horses but occasionally horses on the farm are available. Private lessons are $50 per session at the farm and $60 off the farm to offset travel costs.
Patricia Deasy also is available for clinics. Please contact us for more information on scheduling a clinic in your area.
Training is also offered here at the farm, from the initial breaking to finishing a horse for competition. A combination of roundpen work, natural horsemanship, in-hand work and classical dressage combine to produce horses that are calm and happy in their job. With regard to the development of a horse's jumping and cross country skills, we feel it is important to educate them by systematic and unhurried introduction to all the different questions he will face in competition. We believe that horses learn from their mistakes and it is best to allow them this education while the obstacles and consequences are small.
Boarding at Silver Oak is available. Our services include feeding three times per day. We primarily feed our own custom mixed natural feed, hay twice a day, and stall cleaning twice per day. We provide free blanketing and feeding of supplements. Horses are turned out an average of 12 to 14 hours per day, either privately or in small groups. Pastures are not overgrazed.
