Shining Mountain Thoroughbreds is a Thoroughbred farm specializing in the raising and preparation of Thoroughbreds for sale and the race track as well as the retraining of retired racehorses for second careers after their racing days are over. Several years of working with race horses both on and off the race track have given me a wide knowledge base for treating and rehabilitating various injuries from minor to severe. Although we are primarily a Thoroughbred farm, any horse of any breed in need of lay up or rehabilitation is welcome. Whether it is a horse that needs medications that the owner doesn't have the time or ability to give, bandage changing, stall rest with hand walking, post surgical care, or any number of other requirements, I will work closely with owners and veterinarians to provide the best available individualized care for the horse. I will provide all care if necessary or, if the owner wants to be involved and just needs part time care or simply a safe, clean stall for the horse to live in while recovering, we can customize a routine that best fits all requirements. Someone is on the grounds 24 hours a day to observe horses, veterinary assistance is within a short distance, and every effort will be made to see that your horse's recovery is a successful one.
The owners of all horses boarded at Shining Mountain Thoroughbreds have unlimited access to our 100 by 150 indoor arena. There is also easy access to many mountain and wilderness trails as well as some fairly quiet roads that may also be explored. The indoor arena is also open to the general public for a small fee. Clinicians and groups are welcome.
