Shining Mountain Thoroughbreds offers a wide variety of services. Horse owners can be as involved and hands on as they like or can leave the entire care and management of their horses up to us in the knowledge that their horses will be taken care of in a professional, safe, and thorough manner. Attention to detail, with no detail being too small, is the mainstay of our operation. Rates can be customized to fit each owner's needs and level of involvement in the horse's maintainance and upkeep.

Straw bedding, additional feedings, supplements, or grain are available at additional cost based on individual needs which I will be glad to work with owners to customize. At certain times of the year, larger stalls may be available atadditional cost.

If you would like your horse to have more exercise than just daily turn out or your horse is on stall confinement and needs hand walking but you can't come out to provide it your self, I can ride your horse for you as necessary and am more than willing to hand walk horses in need of gentle exercise.
