An in-depth look at what your boarding experience at Nookside Stables could be and all of the services we offer. Boarding at Nookside “You can have more than one home. You can carry your roots with you, and decide where they grow.” — Henning Mankell Grain ProElite line feed programs customized to your horse's individual needs. Owner's may also provide their own grain and it will be fed as instructed by owner. Hay Up to 8 flakes of high quality grass hay per horse is given. Hay is available at all times in the run-in sheds and stalls. Hay is fed through owner-provided hay nets. Additional hay needs may be available at cost to the owner and at the discretion of the barn manager. Turnout All horses (pasture board or barn board) are turned out in lush, green pastures. Pastures are checked and cleaned daily. Large run-in sheds are provided in each pasture. In pasture board fields, there are tack rooms in the run-in sheds. Stalls Stall boarders have the option between our two barns. The lower pole-style barn houses roomy stalls, hot/cold water wash stall, tack room, and restroom. Horses have the option of stalls with a 'window' front or the standard stall with no opening into the barn aisle. The 'upper' stone barn has fewer but larger stalls. The stone barn sports a wooden floor, hot/cold water wash stall, and tack room. Both barns are expertly cleaned once a day while the horses are turned out. Fly Gear Owner-provided fly gear as well as fly spray can be applied by barn staff at no additional cost to owner. Owner-provided grazing muzzles and cribbing collars can be applied as needed. Blanketing Owner-provided blankets are applied by barn staff at no additional cost. Blankets are tagged with a color-code system that is reflected by temperature increments in the same color. Blankets are applied beginning in November of each year. Medications and Supplements Owner-provided medications and supplements can be given as directed by barn staff at no additional cost Farrier Farrier Matt Shock is regularly scheduled at Nookside. If you use Matt and get on his regular schedule barn staff will hold your horse for the appointment. Veterinary Care There are scheduled vet days at the barn in which your horse may be held by barn staff at no cost. Additional appointments may require owner hold or additional cost for staff to hold the horse for the appointment. Interested in Boarding? We'd love to answer your questions!

A Little Bit About Our History Nookside Stables has a history that can be traced all the way back to 1650. Indian tribes including the Susquehannocks, Piquaws, Shawnese, and Ganawese are traced back to this are. It is said that the Ganawese originated in this exact area. On October 16, 1727 the farm was purchased by Jacob Heistand from the Penn Family Properties. The farm was kept in the Heistand family, ultimately being run by Jacob's grandson, John. The family owned the farm until 1899. Harry Landis Mumma purchased the farm in the early 1900's and utilized it as a Guernsey cow dairy farm. Construction of route 283 began during this time. In 2003, Greg and Karoline Gehman purchased the property and hosted a horse boarding facility called Knights Landing. In 2014, Don and Kathy Hess purchased the farm and hosted a trail riding adventure program. The Hess's have been maintaining the property and overseeing the horse boarding program since. Nookside looks a bit different now, new ownership, management, and staff have lead to the creation of a beautiful family. Who We Are "Building Stable Relationships" This is what we live by at Nookside. We hold the same principles as family; love, respect, boundaries, laughter . Our staff is a conglomeration of experienced horsewomen that love what they do and the horses they work with. We strive for excellence in our equine husbandry. Staff and boarders alike are all bonded over the mutual love and respect for our horses. We are a woven mesh of colorful people that come together to make a beautiful family.
