We offer a first class sport horse boarding facility with options to suit almost anyone. Our clients can take advantage of professional instruction and training for all levels of riders and horses. We are active in our local riding community and support our riders at all levels who want to go to clinics, shows and trail rides. We also offer organized rides and clinics at our own farm and encourage everybody to socialize and get to know each other. Even non-riding family members can enjoy the peace, tranquility and friendliness of this special place. We also offer services to support our clients who are involved in thoroughbred racing: from breeding, foaling and breaking, to retraining thoroughbreds for other sports after retirement from racing. For those who would like to purchase or sell horses privately or at auction, we offer sales agent services and auction representation. We provide the best possible care for your horses, plus management options to fit your budget and help you reach your goals. Our location is superb, our staff first rate and highly sought after, and we keep a small operation that allows you first hand information on how your horse is doing. Owners are directly involved with decisions on care and training of their horses. We value our reputation and treat our customers as we would want to be treated, and their horses as if they were our own. We have an open door policy and invite visitors. If you would like to visit either of our locations (Prospect and Moserwood II in Henry County), please email Kim at moserwood@insightbb.com for driving directions.
One of our priorities is the placement of thoroughbred horses in a timely and well
managed fashion as they come off the track from racing into retirement, with a plan for
the new owner to continue their training and transition into a new life.
Education is the key for all - the race owners, the horses, and the future
owners. In 2006, we completed the organization of a non-profit company to formalize our program for finding retired
racehorses new homes and new careers. See SecondStride.org for more information about our
retraining and placement program for retired thoroughbred racehorses.
A message from Moserwood Farms owner Kim Smith -
The business operations of Moserwood Farms started with broodmare management for clients from around the country. We have expanded our services over the years and today we offer boarding, training, care and management of horses intended for racing as well as other sports.
I have always had a lot of racehorses come to the farm that needed to be retrained for new careers after their racing days were over. I thought long and hard about how to help out the racehorses in our community, and my brief look into the non-profit racehorse retirement world was discouraging. I found it to be loaded with red tape that discourages racehorse owners from donating horses. Our farm has retraining facilities and services to give race horses a new career in dressage, jumping, or just trail and companion use. While the horses are being retrained, we network for them to ensure a timely transition into a new, loving, one-on-one home. Although there is certainly a place for the big non-profit companies, and they certainly do a lot of good work for ex-racehorses, I feel there is a need for a small scale service with no red tape. Our service is for owners who do not want to lose control of what happens to their horses, and want to be involved in finding an appropriate life for their horses after retirement from racing. We hope to provide an exciting and satisfying venture - for the horses, their owners, and all of us at the farm.
