Boarding With Us

Moving to San Felipe and wondering where you can keep your horse?

Boarding your horse with us means that you are sponsoring your horse with us! Because we are a non-profit. Sponsorship means that your beloved horse will be part of our Therapeutic Program. You decide the level of involvement (from allowing your horse to only be a pet or to be a therapeutic riding horse. If you’re interested in sponsoring your horse with us, please contact Lynn at Lynn@horsesinbaja.com.

Many people have questions about keeping horses in Baja, especially when it gets hot in the summer. But in reality, places in California and Arizona get just as hot as places in Baja. As long as you provide shelter, plenty of water, and proper care for your horses, they should do just fine in the summer.

There are also other great reasons to keep horses in Baja. Most of the year, the weather is beautiful. Much of Baja is desert, and the soft, dry sand is great for hooves, you can easily keep your horses barefoot, and you don’t have to worry about hoof rot.

We feed three times a day, and the diet consists of TEFT hay or Bermuda, alfalfa at night during the winter, and wheat bran mash. Psyllium and feed-through fly repellent are given daily. We buy from several large growers in Mexicali and buy Purina grain mixtures in Mexicali as well. Supplements are from the USA.

We have a wonderful farrier who comes down every 6-7 weeks, a vet who comes from Rosarito, and have established connections at the UABC Large Animal Veterinary Hospital in Mexicali. If you don’t have your horse yet but are looking for one, we can help with contacts to help you find trained healthy horses.
