Natural Track System Horse Boarding

Boarding at Elemental Acres is a uniquely horse centered experience. Here we have our horses' best interests in mind. 

What is a Track System? 
A track system imitates the natural environment for the horse by encouraging movement, providing 24/7 access to friends, hay, water, mineral, salt and shelter. Here, our tracks run in a big loop around pastures, with open loafing areas. A track system gives freedom back to laminitic horses by allowing them to live in a herd without access to grass. Track systems also allow us to micro manage our grazing so that the grass available to the horses that can have it is healthy, with strong root systems.

What benefits does a Track System offer?

• Enriched horses = fewer, to no vices

• Much more movement than a pasture or dry lot = higher fitness level & healthier hooves

• Micro managed grazing

• 24/7 access to hay in slow feed hay nets = reduced ulcer risk 

What Facilities do we have?

Currently, not much. We are a work in progress and we constantly funnel our money back into our facilities to expand and improve!

We have 3 different Track Systems:

• Tamarack Track - breeding herd with our Andalusian Stallion

• Appleloopa Track - bachelor herd with our Canadian stud colt (geldings and colts only)

• Range Track - mixed herd, no stallions

• 2 grass training rings

• Obstacles

• A small Tack Barn

• A grooming/lay-up corral

• a 90 meter Archery Track
