Individualized Care

Hidden View Farm LLC prides itself on the highest quality of care given to each and every horse. This is one reason why the farm is full with an ongoing waiting list. The Sherman’s feel strongly that the care of the horse is the number one priority, and to that end offer a very individualized and collaborative approach to the care they and their staff give. The boarders’ needs and wants are listened to and followed through on by all of the staff. Our veterinarians, nutritionist, farriers, boarders, staff, and management all come together to provide the highest quality of care possible.

Horses are offered a Purina Strategy pelleted feed, or Senior Feed, if necessary. Both timothy hay and alfalfa hay are available. A warm bran mash complete with apples and carrots is offered once per week. Each horse’s weight is taken periodically, along with Body Condition Scoring so that an optimal feed and exercise program can be determined and monitored with the help of the nutritionist and veterinarian

Horses are followed with a strict regime of immunizations and worming and teeth are examined at least twice per year and more frequently if warranted, especially for older horses. Retired horses are groomed thoroughly twice per week since many owners can’t come to the farm due to other responsibilities or distance. Medications are administered in the least offensive way to the horse as necessary. Supplements are provided based on medical need as determined by the veterinarian. Night watch is available and is taken seriously when a horse needs extra attention.
