Our equine retirement facility is focused on easing the owners mind by giving optimal care to the horses 24/7 and creating a personalized care program as opposed to just releasing them out in the fields. As in any reasonable boarding facility, our services include quality hay, well preserved facilities and regular interactions with farriers and veterinarian doctors to help us give the highest quality of care to your horse. We keep a close eye on our hay and feeding program which is carefully planned and was developed after the relevant forage and soil tests in our area. Our pastures are well cared for so that your horse can graze to its fill almost every month of the year.

Some horse farms allow their horses to reside in the open pasture with access to a run-in shed. However, few of these horses ever choose to go inside the shed. Many horses are content to remain outside in a freezing blizzard, happily munching on their hay. They grow heavier winter coats to keep them warm, and the snow will actually accumulate on their back as they stood in the field. If they have enough quality hay to eat, their bodies will create enough heat, thus keeping them comfortable.

In California open spaces and pastures for horses are VERY rare. At Willow and Wolf Ranch the horses are allowed to develop ties with other horses in small groups, just like out in the wild, in open spaces. We feel very strongly that horses are happier mentally, emotionally and are physically healthier if they live how God designed them to- not boxed in, but having the freedom to graze in the field as was intended. Horses are different from us. They do not like a small cozy place, they want freedom to roam. Because they are a prey animal, they prefer to have the ability to see all the way around themselves. At Willow and Wolf Ranch we can profile this over ANY other ranch in the area. We have the pastures and room to roam. 

We realize that everyone isn’t able to have the options of paddock or pasture boarding and are forced to board their horses in stalls that have little to no turn-out. We are also aware that sometimes stall boarding is absolutely necessary for certain performance horses. Some upper-level show horses need the stall’s protection to prevent their coats from fading or prevent injury, and horses that are trying to recuperate from certain kinds of injuries also need the protection of the stall. However, horses should be allowed to roam free whenever possible.
