Our business is devoted to retired horses, lay ups, and performance horses in the off-season. Painted Oaks Retirement Horse Boarding accepts any horse from all disciplines - pleasure, companion, racing, polo, dressage, barrel racers, or steeplechase. Painted Oaks offer convenient and affordable layover horse boarding in Virginia. If space permits, we accept over-night layovers for those traveling in the Virginia area with their horses. We do not train horses, offer riding lessons, or lease horses for trail rides. We focus on retired horses and lay ups to ensure we are meeting our customers' expectations. We are personally involved in the operation of the farm and care of your horse. Therefore, Dennis or Daphne, not an hourly worker, will be responsible for your horse. We firmly believe in a natural approach to horse care. (See our Program Philosophy)

Virginia's mild winters, along with our beautiful green pastures, large ponds, and a quiet and peaceful environment, make Painted Oaks Farm a little slice of heaven on earth for your retired horses.
