I have a new farm website
at www.hiddensplendorfarmllc.com HIDDEN SPLENDOR FARM OFFERS: BOARDING: Hidden Splendor Farm offers full
care board only for your horse or pony. Your horse or pony will get EXCELLENT CARE from Jill
and Jeff. Jill and Jeff live right on the farm and take care of all the horses and ponies themselves. We
know that taking care of all the horses ourselves does not sound really fancy like other farms with a big staff or a
trainer that is giving lessons at several barns but have you ever really thought about who is actually taking care of
your horse? Here at Hidden Splendor Farm Jill, the owner and trainer, is the person actually taking care of your horse
or pony she is the person turning your horse out, feeding it, watering it and cleaning it's stall everyday. Why is this important?
It is important because if there is a problem with your horse she will find it that day. If your horse is lame going
out or coming back in she will know it and deal with it immediatly. If your horse did not eat, drink, poop or pee during the
night she will know it that morning and start looking for issues. If your horse is wounded, such as bleeding, she will
decide if she can take care of it or needs a vet and will call the vet right away if needed. It is so important for the health
of your horse to find issues early and deal with them immediatly and that is what you get here. Jill knows how much water
every horse drinks, how much they eat, poop and pee daily and she checks on this everyday, or you can say all day because
she is at her farm all day taking care of the horses and the farm. Jill has had the same GREAT Vet and Farrier for 15+ years.
They both know that when she calls and says she has an emergency and needs them right away they will come right away, 24 hours
a day 7 days a week. The farm is 167 acres with a great
mixture of hay fields and woods. The farm has great horse trails with jumps, just like the hunter pace trails! The
farm is also directly connected to Stoney Pond State Forest with miles of horse trails. The barn has 10'x12' box stalls with
windows and Promat Stable Comfort Stall Mats, they are not just mats but a mattress for your horse, come WALK
on them, to see pictures click on the Hidden Splendor Farm pg.! The horses love these stall mats, see the pictures,
they are GREAT! The farm also has a lot of BIG PASTURES for plenty of turn out, single or group. There is a 153' x
72' INDOOR ARENA with lights and jumps! Jill and Jeff care for all the horses and ponies as if they were their
own. Stalls are cleaned daily, they always have plenty of fresh water, and plenty of food. All horses and ponies
are fed based on their own needs because every horse and pony is different. Jeff and Jill bale about 5000 bales
of hay (1st and 2nd cutting) each year on the farm and it's GREAT horse hay; this also means that if you have a horse
that eats a lot of hay they will get all they need at no extra charge! The farm is 8 miles east of Cazenovia, 3
miles from Morrisville in the town of Nelson, about 14 miles from Canastota, and close to Hamilton. SUNY Morrisville students
