How much is the monthly pasture rent?

The monthly pasture rent is $275, for most horses, with an annual hay surcharge of approximately $200.

What services do you provide?

• BBHF is a self-care facility.

• We provide a daily check – hands-on, for those horses who allow it.

• We feed large round bales (in nets) placed in a round bale feeders from approximately mid-October to mid-April.

• We feed a small amount of owner-supplied grain daily.

• Access to our regularly scheduled farrier.

• Access to our annual vet visit.

How would you describe boarding at Bluebell Hill Farm?

BBHF offers a low-key, small barn setting with full-time on-site owners. There are as many non-riders as there are riders. It is a lovely and loving place for a horse to live out his days.

Where are you located?

Located in the Mark Twain National Forest, we are just 14 miles east of the MU campus, and 9 miles east of the Grindstone Hy-Vee.

Is stall rental available? What are the options in terms of boarding?

We do not have permanent stalls. We are a pasture plus shelters facility. We can create a temporary stall, should it be needed for illness or injury. We have 3 lean-to/run-in shelters and a large pole barn with multiple points of access.

Where can I ride?

• We have a 60′ x 70′ sand round pen that serves as a small arena.

• We also allow riding in our 40′ x 50′ pole barn.

• Boarders have access to approximately 17 acres of pasture, where they can ride.

• Just a short walk down the road is a large US Forest Service Mark Twain National Forest tract that allows horseback riding, as well as other uses.

Is there anything else that I should know? How many horses are on the property?

• Our zoning allows us to host 6 boarders.

• We have 3 equines (at the moment, of course) of our own.

• Due to our size, we limit our boarding services to geldings.

• We have one John mule and would welcome another.
