I’m looking for horse boarding near Cincinnati!
Around Loveland or Lebanon would be great, but I am open to all areas.
Would prefer a smaller, private atmosphere rather than a bustling lesson facility.
Willing to help with care!
Please help!!
There are quite a few!! Just off the top of my head, here are a few:
-Lakewood Farm (not sure who is running it these days, but a very nice, new facility)
-Morning Glory Farm (Stables?)/Chatsworth farm - two barns, one owner. Morning Glory is in Loveland, Chatworth is in Maineville (and may not do boarding anymore, might just be her private farm)
-Knollman Dressage
-Dancing Horse Farm
-Win Row Farm
Best suggestion I can give is to join the “Cincinnati Area Equestrian World” group on Facebook. There’s constantly ads for boarding facilities! Happy hunting (and, if you’re new, welcome to Cincy!)
What’s your budget? There’s quite a range, but thankfully lots of options in that area, as opposed to Oxford/Hamilton. I’m familiar with many of the barns around here and would be happy to answer any questions you might have. I second the suggestion about the Cinci Area group!
Look up around Lebanon along rts 48 and 42 or slightly further east in Batavia where most of the show barns got pushed out to.
Lakewood is not new, live 5 miles from it, showed there almost 20 years ago. It was closed for several years when the property owners used it for heavy equipment storage. Opened back up with an excellent trainer who Im not sure is there anymore due to a family tragedy. It’s landlocked too, neighbors in fancy newer subdivision don’t like it there. Worth checking out though. You could do worse facility wise but no idea about care level without knowing who’s running it now. Really teeny tiny indoor too, if it’s still there. It is close in to Loveland and Maineville, think the other Loveland barn mentioned is further out towards Milford or Batavia.
Some like Dancing Horse, Others don’t so be careful there. I live in the area and never heard of Chatsworth unless it’s a rename of an older barn.
Google Milestone and see if that might work for you and your budget, they are more show oriented but not a high pressure barn. Know the folks at Win Row. Not fancy but very coneviently located compared to some and they are are very good people I would trust. Used to stand very nice TB race stud who had some go on to Hunters, one really big time, after the track and still probably dabble in TB race horses besides showing TBs locally.
Whats your budget range? Gives a better idea of who to recommend.
Thank you for all the suggestions. I would like to stay under $700/month.
