BOARDING

M&M Equine Center, LLC understands that everyone has a different philosophy on what constitutes the best in horse care. We believe in caring for your horse how you want your horse to be cared for. At M&M, we strive to provide the quality of care you expect at all times.

All horses are required to be current on yearly vaccinations, and must have a negative Coggins available upon move-in (within 12 months). If coming from a state with known recent cases of EIA, the Coggins must be dated within 10 days.  Proof of Coggins and vaccinations is required.
All horses are expected to be decently mannered and safe for the average amateur equestrian to handle. Any extreme, dangerous behavior will be addressed on a case-by-case basis; at the reasonable discretion of the barn owner, training fees may be billed to the horse owner.
