If you are looking for somewhere for your horse to retire but do not feel that he will do well in a large group pasture situation then consider retiring your horse at HHF. It is a very peaceful atmosphere and you can choose between Full Board or Pasture Board.
Full Board is great for the horse that likes his stall time and would not fare well in a pasture situation. At $350.00 per month it is much more affordable than similar board arrangements in other parts of the country. Your horse will be treated with personalized care and you may visit him or her as much as you like. Pasture Board at $200.00 per month is a good choice for the hardier horse or one with COPD or who prefers to live outside.
Please see our Boarding Page for information about what the different types of board include.
If you live far away you can add services to your board agreement at your discretion, rates for typically desired additional services are below — many things are simply included in the regular board! Check out the Boarding Page. If you have questions about anything, or special requests, please ask us! Call 814-398-9369 and ask for Vita.

From a long-distance owner of a horse retired at HHF:Our horse Figaro retired from the show circuit at an early age. He has been stabled at Hogback Hill Farm since August 2006. Vita regularly keeps us informed of Figaro’s well-being through e-mails and phone calls. She provides excellent care; he is looking the healthiest he’s ever been. We have visited the Farm four times and know that Vita routinely makes improvements to the property that greatly benefit the horses and riders. The rider in our family says that since she can’t look after Figaro herself, she’s glad that Vita is there for him! — Sanghamitra, Horse Owner |
