OUR HORSE FARM &
BOARDING / TRAINING FACILITY
Boarding can be a difficult choice, we make it simple. At Glover Stables
we understand that you love your horse like a caring parent loves their child. Please allow our family to pamper and take care of your horse like you would want them to be. When choosing a horse boarding facility, there are many important things to consider and compare. When you add up the cost vs. benefits and value, the experience, professional care, and all of the extras with Glovers Stables, there is no comparison. We believe that your choice will be hands down, 2nd to none, simply Glovers Stables.:Ö Our Prices- Glover Stables prices are very reasonable and competitive. There are several packages to choose from. It is best to call us directly at (352) 848-0342 and discuss your needs. You may only want to board your horse for the year or the season. or you may want to include our horse boarding & training package with personalized or group lessons. Whatever you can imagine, we can accommodate your needs. "Quality Never Cost, As Much As It Saves!"
Ö Horse Stalls- Horses need a clean healthy environment with enough of room to move, but snug enough to feel secure & happy. All of Glover Stables stalls are a spacious 12'x12' covered enclosures or 12'x15' for Stallions. Each stall is thoroughly cleaned every day and the bedding is maintained with fresh pine shavings as needed.
Ö Automatic Water Feeder- A horse may salivate up 10 gallons of water or more everyday! With this in mind, it is essential to maintain an abundant water supply for your horse at all times. To ensure that your horse has plenty of fresh clean water at all times, Glover Stables has installed a state of the art, "automatic water trough" (AWT) system to every stall and to all of our pastures. This system maintains a constant "full" water level automatically.
Ö Security- Glover Stables is safe and secure at all times. Mr. and Mrs. Glover live in their home here on the premises full time. There is always someone present on the property looking after things. The pastures are fenced with an electric fence system, and the feed, medicines, and equipment can be kept under lock and key, as necessary.
Ö Horse Handlers- All Glover Stables horse handlers are experienced professional "horse people". Usually this is Mr. & Mrs. Bob and Rita Glover, & Ms. Deborah Glover. They have been working with horses all of their lives.
Ö Veterinarians- Glover Stables has three (2) Professional Licensed Veterinarians (D.V.M.), a "barn veterinarian" on call 24/7; and a Veterinarian/Homeopathic (D.V.M.), on call 24/7.
Ö Farriers - Glover Stables has two (2) Professional Farriers on call, who have been working with us for many, many years.
Ö Hay and Feed- At Glover Stables we use a high quality hay and feed program that we have had remarkable success with for many years. All of our "Hay" is specifically hand picked and chosen for a horses' diet (for example: it must never have been rained on, rolled wet, the hay length must be grown greater than 8 inches). The point is, we have grown our own Horse Hay and know what it takes and what to look for. Our "hay" at Glover Stables is a nutritional horse specific Tifton 44, World Class Bermuda and Alfalfa. In addition, we include, a nutritionally balanced feed that is specifically customized for your own horse's dietarian needs; adding fats, vitamins, and minerals et al as needed.
Ö Rehabilitation and Physical Therapy- At Glover Stables we are certified to evaluate your horse in terms of physical assessments and can offer Veterinarian Orthopedic Manipulations (VOM) Adjustments (not the same as those of human chiropractic procedures, but similar and only for animals). We use a varity of "hands on" and mechanical-physical manipulations to adjust your horse's musculature and skeletal system. This may include laser and ultra sonic therapies as well. We have successfully used these procedures for show horses, race horses, and just about ever discipline imaginable for horses.
Our training is something of a journey
We start horses with patience, as each one has a different personality and ability. Working in sync with an individual horse and rider to bring out the best with the most ease and comfortable results. Deborah Glover, our nationally and in some cases internationally recoginized trainer, has been training for years and even still works on one of her disciplines - her dressage with an instructor. She is diverse in her working knowledge of horses, their movements, capabilities and has experience with many different disciplines. Yet seems to have a knack for finding the right instruction for the rider. And they are all different, so there is no cookie cutter training here. Each individual works and learns on their own schedule, she allows that and even caters to it.
Horses are so willing to do what we ask, if only we could explain it in terms that they can understand. Forced stress puts the horse on the defensive and slows down the maturity and development of the horses, so we work soft but firm. We believe that going slow and explaining everything to both horse and rider patiently over and over again until it is both natural and comfortable to them is the best way.
We have been doing this with such great results that we have had years of a winning and fun show history, along with the personal pride of seeing so many of our clients out on the trail and winning on the rail. The horse and rider are working together with an understanding of what each is asking and requiring.
Come look around and ask around. We have a reputation that shows the time and effort that we have put into each and every relationship. Glover's Stables has been known for quality horses that we breed, raise, train and sell for over 12 years now. We are not a big operation. We are a family that loves horses and are honored that others want our help in establishing the same relationship with their horse.
