    we provide...

    At Cornerstone, we know it's important for our boarders to feel appriciated. And that's why we've decided to add the following things to our stables to make you and your equine(s) happy!

    Equine Therapy Program:

    Our horses (and yours!) are important to us, so we make sure they get the best of care possible. This means that all horses in the retirement/therapy barn get special physical therapy, equine massage, carrots and apples, and LOTS of TLC by our own Equine Therapist, Alex Ford. If you would like to have her work with your horse if it is not located in the retirement/injury barn, then please let her know by emailing cornerstone_eq@hotmail.com with the subject line of: Alex-ET (Equine Therapy). Alex makes daily rounds of the barn and the other horses she visits, and for those who need to recouperate, she brings them back with the help of our special Equine Swimming pool, which has a total depth of 15 feet on one side, and on the lower side, it has a depth of only 2 feet. The pool is used for therapy treatments only!!! Also included in the therapy barn/building is an equine treadmill...also exclsively for use with the program.

    Boarding/Training Plans at CEC:

    There are 3 boaring plans you can choose from to best suit your needs, and those of your horse.

    Equine companion animals at Cornerstone:
