About Harris Horse Haven

Harris Horse Haven is located in Plattsburg, Missouri, the seat of Clinton County and a community that sits comfortably in the rolling farmland north of Kansas City. Offering both horse boarding and horseback riding, this facility serves two distinct groups: horse owners who need reliable, everyday care for their animals, and riders who want access to quality instruction and time in the saddle. Plattsburg's small-town feel and open rural terrain make it well-suited for an equestrian operation that wants to do more than one thing well. You can reach them at (816) 223-9014.

Services & Process

Horse boarding at Harris Horse Haven covers the daily care your horse needs, including feeding, watering, stall or pasture management, and routine turnout. The horseback riding side of the business brings a different kind of value, offering riders the chance to work on their skills in a structured or semi-structured environment. Having both services under one roof is genuinely convenient, especially for horse owners who also want to take lessons or improve their riding alongside their horse's care. This combination reduces the need to haul between separate facilities for different services.

Service Area

Harris Horse Haven serves Plattsburg and the broader Clinton County area in northern Missouri. Riders and horse owners from nearby communities including Kearney, Lathrop, Smithville, and even parts of Clay County make the trip for their boarding and riding needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I board my horse and also take riding lessons at the same facility?
Yes, having both services at one location is one of the main advantages of a facility like Harris Horse Haven. It means your horse is already on-site when it's time for your lesson, which eliminates hauling and keeps your schedule simpler.
What's included in the horse boarding fee?
Standard boarding usually covers daily feeding, fresh water, stall cleaning, and regular turnout. Some facilities also include blanketing, fly spray, or supplements for an added cost, so ask for a full breakdown of what's covered when you call (816) 223-9014.
Do you offer lessons for complete beginners?
Most facilities that offer horseback riding services are set up to work with beginners, including riders who have never been on a horse before. Ask about their introductory lesson structure and whether they provide helmets and other gear for first-timers.
How do I know if a boarding facility is right for my horse?
The best way to evaluate a facility is to visit in person and watch how the staff interacts with the horses there. Look at the condition of the pastures and stalls, check that water sources are clean, and ask questions about the daily routine and emergency protocols.
Is Plattsburg easy to get to from the Kansas City area?
Plattsburg is about 35 miles north of Kansas City via Highway 169, making it a straightforward drive for most people in the metro's northern corridor. It's a familiar route for riders in Clay, Platte, and Clinton counties.
What happens if my horse gets sick or injured while boarded?
Good boarding facilities have a protocol for contacting owners immediately when a health issue arises and can coordinate with your vet if you're unavailable. Make sure you discuss emergency contact procedures and veterinary authorization before you sign a boarding agreement.
