BEE does NOT offer rough board. All horses are turned out daily & spend nights in their own stall.
Currently the barn is full. Feel free to get your name on our waiting list.
Please call barn manager Karla Hankee on the barn cell phone at (608) 577-4867 to set up a time for a personal tour of our horse boarding facility and see the place in person!

Indoor Riding Arena
Our insulated 80' x 140' indoor arena is dragged and groomed 7 days a week! We have recently purchased a new piece of equipment that grooms the footing even better than before. The fluffy top layer on a solid, level base is perfect for several different riding disciplines. Our boarders ride hunters, jumpers, western pleasure, saddleseat, dressage and even do some driving.

Indoor Arena
Another view of our indoor arena taken from near the lounge. Our arena is very well insulated and thus stays very comfortable. In the dead of winter, our boarders usually ride in just a long-sleeved shirt and a vest.

Stalls
Our 12' x 12' fully matted stalls have automatic waterers and are thoroughly cleaned SEVEN days a week, 365 days a year! BEE does not avoid stall cleaning just because it is a holiday. We use quality, clean pine shavings for bedding, on top of the fully matted floors.

Mowed trails
Imagine yourself riding your horse along our trails on a beautiful day like this!

Trails
Since we are located on almost 300 acres, we have plenty of room out on the trails.
Our mowed trails are easy to follow; flowing over gently rolling farmland, around the pasture fencelines (photo), and also around & through our crop fields. Some of our trails wind through a section of woods.
BEE's trails are wide enough for two to three people to ride side-by-side and also convenient for driving a carriage or cart.
No need for riding on roadsides here!

|
Wooded Trails
The trails through our woods are wide enough for a small tractor to go through, have very clear boundaries, and wind lazily through the trees.

|
Wildlife
If you ride quietly and slowly, you may just glimpse various songbirds, rabbits, cranes, whitetail deer, fox, raccoon, or other native wildlife along our trails.

Guard Kitty
Often times our lounge is guarded by Spottie the barn cat.
OK, so she likes to nap on the back of the couch
and she is probably only guarding her blanket ; )
