Full Circle Track Horse Boarding

Full Circle Track Horse Boarding Full Circle Track is a small horse boarding operation based in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley.

At Full Circle, your horse will live in a small, welcoming herd on a track system.

It is HOT! 🥵 We love having shade trees on our tracks to place hay bags. Girls and boys are both using the shade today. 🩷

Have a metabolic mare that needs a soft place to land? We have 2 openings for mares. Full board starts at $500/month. Send us a DM to get started. 💕

Such a great day of learning from other track systems in the area! 💕

Taking a pause to honor the powerful bonds that horses make. We ask them to navigate our human decisions and they will never understand but they always try so hard.

We said goodbye to our Thoroughbred duo this morning, Maggie and Ashley, so they can go home to be closer to their people who love them very much. 🩷

The saddest part was when Maggie and Ashley were crying on the trailer before it pulled away, and Hera and Whisper were frantically searching for them.

It’s never easy to lose herd members. That’s why we try so hard to get horses here that will stay long term. We understand life happens and things change, but as much as possible, we never want to break up a herd.

Horses form powerful bonds. Their herds are their safety. Their family. In the wild, their herd is their survival.

If only we people gave as much honor and respect to our human to human relationships, what would change? 💕 Just a little reminder no one is meant to do life alone.

Please reach out to us if you’re looking for a boarding space for a mare or gelding. We prioritize horses that need a dirt lot or track to stay healthy. 🙂 Our layout may not be the best for every horse and owner but the ones that are here right now are thriving.

Track life before and after. Later this week, we will be sending our bonded Thoroughbreds back to their mom in New York!...

Track life before and after.

Later this week, we will be sending our bonded Thoroughbreds back to their mom in New York! They’ve had a wonderful time at our track and the owners simply want them closer to home. 🩷

Maggie and Ashley each came to us with specific goals. Maggie was a bit overweight with a big belly and Ashley came in incredibly underweight after shipping. Maggie came with no health concerns and Ashley came to us with PPID/cushings and previous laminitis.

Both of these girls took a minute to adapt to track life, and now that it’s been nearly a year, they’ve “got it”! They travel many laps and they’ve got the muscles now to prove it. Both of them have also resolved hoof issues since being here. Maggie came with a large toe chip and Ashley had large, overgrown slipper feet. Both girls have pretty great feet now (for Thoroughbreds 😆).

You can see in the photos how Ashley put on weight and muscle - she’s quite the picky eater! You can see how Maggie slimmed down wonderfully and lost her pot belly with the help of minerals and regular deworming. This only taps the surface onto the care we put in to each horse. Ask the mares and they’ll tell you about the Coat Defense curries after rain and the boot application for sore hooves and the daily fly spray in the summer. 🩷

We will miss these queens but we absolutely understand an owner wanting to be closer to the retired horses. 💕

We say it takes about a year for horses to come into their own on track and these girls have certainly done just that! 😊

We never should have worried about the mini boys meeting the big boys. Patches might come out on top as the new boss. Small but mighty!

Lotus and Pan seem like they’re going to end up being really good buddies.

Pan and Patches have had a chance to meet everyone individually and tomorrow hopefully they’ll spend a longer day with everyone. We’ll see how it goes! 🐎

Boarding space available.

Some behind the scenes work 👀 that we don’t always share.

Track systems are work - daily poo picks (the rain makes things sooo heavy!), hay chaff clean up, hay bag sorting and stuffing, intermittent grazing and moving the horses about - but we wouldn’t change a thing because the horses are so content. However, this in addition to hay costs is one of the reasons track system board often costs more than a traditional boarding stable.

Today we worked on some weeding. The ragweed is OUT OF CONTROL this year due to the drought. We’ve got some plants that are 3-4 feet tall and difficult to pull and have to be cut into multiple pieces to be removed. The ragweed is toxic to the horses and spreads like crazy. 🤦‍♀️Thankfully, the horses choose to leave it alone.

Here’s an example of an hour’s worth of ragweed pulled. We also found some dried nettle and threw that onto the track for the munchers. 😉

There’s a lot more to do but each plant counts because it can make infinite seeds! 😩

We’re also working away at removing horse nettle (impossible to pull due to the spines) and knapweed through mowing/cutting & removing seed heads and mulching with hay chaff and manure/compost.

It’s a slow process, but we have witnessed how the seeds in the first cut hay chaff oftentimes do take root and grow into Timothy and Orchard grasses within 6-12 months in the right conditions.

It’s a labor of love for the herd as well as our land and pollinators. 🐝

Chauncy is on track for a few hours with Pan and Patches. We are loving this very calm, settled time between these boys while they’re sharing space. Pan is moving a little better today and Chauncy is being very kind.

Patches was the first one to throw kicks! He’s going to be the boss of these 3. 😆

We have boarding space for a mare and gelding. This is an example of our slow herd integration coming out of quarantine. 🩷

Taking our grazing boys out to pasture. It’s always an adventure! 😂 Chauncy was convinced he could get into the paddock from the top of the hill where we used to have the gate. After we rotate grazing spots we typically only have to show them the way once. 😉

Fun fact: These boys prefer hay to grazing our old, mature, stalky pasture. Except Lotus. He will choose the paddock any day. 😆 We choose to lock them into the grass paddock for a few hours so they help us mow. With this drought, we are utilizing our fields and hay in the best way we can think to steward it and the land. 💕🐎

Mini boys are doing well and will hopefully be starting to integrate with some of the big boys soon! No grazing for them at this time.

We’re so blessed to have some really good geldings. 🩷 Thankful for the owners who share their horses with us!

We have an opening for a gelding on this track. DM us for more information. Priority given to horses that need a track system/dirt lot in order to thrive.

Highly encourage watching the whole video and reading the whole post, especially if you’ve got a laminitic horse. Rehab doesn’t look the same for every horse. We firmly believe in using all the knowledge and resources that we have to keep a horse comfortable. This is why we are VERY picky about our farrier care. The moment we notice imbalances, we raise a flag. We don’t have the financial option with most owners to X-ray every trim but we do love watching what Gawsworth Track Livery is doing for horses. 🩷 Believing they’re on the cutting edge of the future of hoof care.
