SEC offers a spectrum of boarding options to you and your horse, letting you determine the services and cost appropriate for your situation.  All options provide comfortable surroundings and complete nutrition delivered by experienced staff.  Below is a short overview of what we offer.  Please call for a full listing of services offered and prices charged for more specific information.

Accommodations Include:

Pasture

Horses can be entirely at Pasture.  Sargent is fortunate is having over 100 acres of irrigated pasture in 7 to 15 acre units, all surrounded by horse safe vinyl fencing reinforced by braided hot wire.  A balance of growing and dry pasture is maintained, allowing us to accommodate both easy and hard keepers.  Horses are kept in compatible mixed groups which are closely monitored and adjusted when necessary.  The price of pasture-only board for the fully retired horse versus the horse in regular work varies to reflect the cost of maintaining the arenas.

Stalls

Stalls are 12’ x 12’, bedded deeply in shavings and cleaned at least twice a day.  Larger 12’ x 18’ stalls in the show barn and the 1’6 x 16’ stalls of the breeding barn are available for stallions, breeding mares, mares and foals and other special situations.  Additional 12’ x 12’ stalls with run-outs will be added in 2009.

All horses in stalls are turned out if desired at no additional charge.

Nutrition

In addition to pasture and high quality hay, all horses at SEC are supplemented with up to 8# of Sargent's Low Carb Feed (SLCF) per day as part of basic board.  SLCF is a palatable low carbohydrate, high fat feed which is formulated for us by King Feed of Salinas , after analysis of our hay and pasture.  Fed as a warm mash daily to both stalled and pasture horses, SLCF is a beet pulp based feed supplemented with the needed micronutrients to assure that each horse receives a balanced and complete diet.  Stalled horses are fed twice a day if on turn-out, and three times a day if in the stall full-time.

Additional supplements, purchased by the owner, can be fed at no cost for stalled horses and for an additional fee for pastured horses.

Additional Services

Arrangements can be made for the delivery of virtually any service to your horse, including but not limited to grooming, bathing, clipping, blanketing, fly prevention and mask, booting up.  Depending on the board program you chose there may be an additional charge.  These services may be arranged on a regular basis or you can order them occasionally, such as a spring bath and clip for a pastured horse, or special attention and grooming for you horse when you are out of town.

Special Services

The SEC staff will work with you and your veterinarian to provide wound care, administer medications, and develop and implement graduated exercise and turn-out programs as required.  All SEC horses are required to be on an effective worming program and to have their feet cared for regularly.  These services can be scheduled by the SEC and recharged to the owner if desired.
