Frequently Asked Questions

What types of boarding options does Fairntosh Stables offer?
Boarding facilities typically offer full care, partial, and pasture-only options. Full care includes daily feeding, stall cleaning, and turnout, while pasture board is a lower-cost option where the horse lives outside year-round with shelter access.
Do I need a current Coggins test before boarding my horse in North Carolina?
Yes, North Carolina requires a negative Coggins test, which screens for Equine Infectious Anemia, before any horse changes facilities or travels. Most boarding stables also require proof of current core vaccinations including Eastern and Western encephalitis, tetanus, West Nile, and rabies.
How often will my horse be turned out?
Turnout schedules vary by facility, but most boarding stables in the Durham area offer daily turnout based on available pasture space and herd compatibility. It's worth asking whether turnout is individual or group, since that affects how your horse will socialize.
Can I store my tack and feed at the boarding facility?
Most boarding stables provide a tack room with a locker or designated storage space for saddles, bridles, and grooming supplies. Feed storage is usually available too, especially if your horse has a special grain not provided by the facility.
What should I look for when touring a boarding facility?
Check the overall cleanliness of stalls, water quality in troughs and buckets, and the condition of fencing in turnout areas. Watch how the horses in residence look physically, since weight and coat condition tell you a lot about daily care standards.
How much does horse boarding typically cost in the Durham area?
Full care boarding in the Triangle region generally runs between $400 and $800 per month depending on the facility's amenities and included services. Pasture board is usually on the lower end of that range, while stalls with individual turnout and a lighted arena tend to cost more.
