Services & Process

Horse boarding at Lazy Acres Equines covers the core responsibilities of caring for your horse, including feeding, stall or paddock management, and daily turnout. The facility's name suggests a relaxed, pasture-forward environment, which often means horses have more time in open fields rather than confined to stalls. Horseback riding services give non-owners a chance to experience riding in the scenic Rutland County countryside, a region with no shortage of beautiful terrain for equestrian activities. Together, these two services make Lazy Acres a useful hub for both horse owners and casual riders in the Brandon area.

Service Area

Lazy Acres Equines primarily serves horse owners and riders in Brandon and the surrounding Rutland County area. Communities like Pittsford, Middlebury, and Leicester are all nearby and within reasonable reach. The farm is a practical option for equestrians in central Vermont who don't want to travel to Burlington or Rutland for quality care.
