Frequently Asked Questions

What does full-care horse boarding include at a Jacksonville facility?
Full-care boarding generally covers daily feedings, stall cleaning, fresh water, and turnout in a pasture or paddock. Many facilities also include basic health monitoring and will contact your vet or farrier on your behalf when appointments are scheduled.
Do I need a current Coggins test before boarding my horse in Florida?
Yes, a negative Coggins test is required by most Florida boarding facilities and is also required by state law for horses being transported. Make sure your test is current, typically within the past 12 months, before arranging a move-in date.
Is pasture board or stall board better for my horse in Florida's climate?
Both options work well in Northeast Florida's climate, though many horses thrive on pasture board given the mild winters and open land. Stall board offers more control over feeding and protection during summer storms or extreme heat, so it often comes down to your horse's individual needs.
How often can I visit my horse at a boarding facility?
Most boarding facilities allow owner visits during daylight hours, and some have extended access arrangements. It's worth asking about specific visiting policies and whether you can ride on-site during your visits.
What should I look for when touring a boarding facility in Jacksonville?
Pay attention to fence condition, water source quality, pasture size, and how the existing horses look and behave. Ask how many horses share each pasture and how the staff handles emergencies or health concerns when an owner isn't on-site.
Can I bring my own feed and supplements to a boarding facility?
Many facilities accommodate owner-supplied supplements and specialized feed, though some charge a small handling fee for administering them. Discuss your horse's diet requirements upfront so the barn staff can follow a consistent routine.
