Boarding
Horse Boarding
We offer a wide range of personalized boarding options tailored to fit your needs.
Boarding
Hybrid
Our Hybrid Boarding option is ideal for horse owners looking for the benefits of outdoor living with the added security of shelter during harsh weather. Horses are primarily housed in large outdoor pens, with your choice of group or individual turnout. We provide high-quality alfalfa/grass blend hay and, of course, fresh water. Horses also have access to our arena for exercise and training.
Most of our outdoor paddocks feature 4' high fencing with linear boards and electric wire for added safety. During inclement weather, as determined by us—when we bring our own horses inside —all boarded horses will be brought into the barn for shelter. This ensures all horses are protected and cared for consistently with our own.
Boarding
Standing Stall
Our standing stalls measure 5' x 10', providing ample space for your horse to relax, be groomed, or tacked up comfortably. Horses are brought into the barn each evening and turned out again in the morning for daily turnout. This routine offers a great balance of shelter and outdoor time. We provide high-quality alfalfa/grass blend hay and fresh water as part of their care.
Boarding
Box Stall
Our Box Stall Boarding offers spacious and well-maintained 10' x 10' stalls, providing more room for your horse to move around compared to standing stalls. These high-quality stalls are bedded with shavings for comfort, though straw bedding is also available upon request. Horses are brought into the barn each evening and turned out again in the morning, with the option of group or individual turnout based on your preference. As with all our boarding options, horses are provided with fresh water and a high-quality alfalfa/grass blend hay daily. This is an excellent choice for horses that benefit from extra space and a consistent routine of turnout and stall time.
camps
Summer Camps
Lea Bank offers a couple opportunities for day camps once a year. These camps have always been a successful way to meet new people, get some fresh air and learn all about horses.
Each day starts with a riding lesson and some theory classes.
Throughout a day we do many different horse related activities such as; grooming, riding, theory, crafts and games.
Camp is offered for ages 5-13yrs, from 9am to 3pm. We will provide a healthy snack both mid morning and mid afternoon but ask that the participants bring their own lunch.
We enjoy the enthusiasm the participants bring to the facility and throughout the day.
The camps are geared for all levels, no experience is necessary. Please come prepared with your own boots, 1/2" heel.

Therapy
Horse Therapy
Equine-assisted therapy includes activities such as grooming, petting, and feeding.
These gentle giants have a calming effect that’s magnified by their size and empathy.
Horses are herd animals known for attuning themselves to human emotion, often reflecting the behaviors of those around them. For people building confidence, learning to lead around animals that loom over them can help improve self-esteem, encourage taking control, and addresses fears they feel are bigger than them.
