Horse Boarding

Services & Process

Faber Farms specializes in horse boarding, which means their focus is on the daily care and housing of your horse rather than lessons or public rides. Boarding typically includes stall or pasture options, daily feeding tailored to your horse's nutritional needs, fresh water, and regular turnout time to keep horses active and healthy. Owners can usually visit their horses and use on-site facilities for personal riding time. Good boarding operations also coordinate with your farrier and vet, keeping records and communicating any health concerns quickly.

Service Area

Faber Farms serves horse owners in Villa Ridge and the surrounding Franklin County communities, including Pacific, Gray Summit, and St. Clair. Its location along the I-44 corridor also makes it accessible for horse owners relocating from the St. Louis metro who want a more rural setting for their animals.

Frequently Asked Questions

What documents does my horse need before moving into a boarding facility?
A current negative Coggins test is required by most Missouri boarding facilities, along with up-to-date vaccination records. Some facilities also ask for a health certificate from your vet, especially if your horse is coming from out of state.
What's the difference between stall boarding and pasture boarding?
Stall boarding keeps your horse in a covered stall with daily turnout time, offering more protection from weather and closer monitoring. Pasture boarding means your horse lives outdoors in a shared or private pasture, which is often less expensive but more dependent on the quality of fencing and shelter.
Can I bring my own farrier and vet to a boarding facility in Villa Ridge?
Most boarding operations allow owners to use their preferred farrier and vet. It's common to coordinate scheduling with the barn manager so visits happen when staff are available to assist if needed.
How often can I visit my horse at a boarding facility?
Most facilities allow daily visits during daylight hours or set barn hours. Some operations have more flexible access policies. Confirm visiting hours and any access procedures when you sign your boarding agreement.
What happens if my horse gets sick or injured while at the boarding facility?
Good boarding facilities contact the owner immediately and can call your designated vet if you're unreachable. Your boarding agreement should outline emergency protocols and who bears the cost of emergency care.
Is horse boarding in Franklin County less expensive than boarding near St. Louis?
Generally, yes. Rural Franklin County facilities benefit from lower land costs, and that often means more competitive monthly boarding rates and larger pastures. Rates still vary depending on the level of care and amenities included.
