Frequently Asked Questions

What does horse boarding include at Scissortail Hill Equestrian?
Boarding typically covers daily feeding, fresh water, stall cleaning or pasture maintenance, and regular turnout time. Specific inclusions can vary by the boarding package you choose, so it's worth asking about grain, hay type, and how often stalls are cleaned during your initial visit.
Do I need riding experience to take lessons or go on a ride?
No prior experience is required. The facility works with beginners and can match you with a horse suited to your comfort level and size.
Can I visit my horse whenever I want if I board there?
Most boarding facilities in the Austin area allow owner visits during designated hours, though policies vary. You'll want to confirm the facility's access hours and any rules about bringing guests when you tour.
What should I bring to my first horseback riding session?
Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes with a small heel, like boots or sturdy sneakers. A properly fitting helmet is often provided for new riders, but you can bring your own certified riding helmet if you have one.
How much does horse boarding typically cost in the Austin area?
Rates in the Austin market generally range from around $400 to $800 or more per month depending on whether you choose pasture or full stall boarding and what services are included. Contact Scissortail Hill directly at (512) 243-2323 for current pricing.

Some facilities offer month-to-month arrangements or short-term boarding for horses between permanent situations. It's best to call ahead and ask, since availability for short-term spots depends on current capacity.
