If you’re a Hunter / Jumper and interested in boarding your horse here, we are only accepting boarding applications for riders looking to show on our show team.  If that’s you, make sure you take a look at our facility photos – as you’ll see we offer a beautiful open and covered jumping experience in a beautiful equine facility!  At present, we do not accept pasture boards, green horses that aren’t bridle broken, cribbers or difficult or unsafe to handle horses – but for all other stall boards, we offer the following:

  • Oversized 12’x14’ rubber matted stall with ceiling fan, and 2 ceiling lights overhead for extra light when needed!
  • Open, European stall-fronts
  • Private, locked tack locker – in an owners only room
  • Premium Grain twice daily
  • Timothy/Orchard Hay (with some Alfalfa) three times daily
  • Group turn out in one of 8 pastures, with 4 having huge 16×30 run-in shelters
  • Dutch doors from the stall to covered porch, or just open for fresh air.
  • Private 14×24 run out, with half of it covered, so even if the weather is bad, they can still be outside (extra fee)
  • Blanketing once in the morning and once at night
  • Stall cleaned multiple times a day
  • Horses walked in the covered arena on rainy days when turn-out not available
  • Off-season storage bins for when blankets, etc not in use

About Us

Blue Skies Stables began in 2014 as a beautiful piece of land – with a long-term plan of being developed into the regions premier Hunter / Jumper equine facility.  As luck would have it, we were able to accelerate our plans to officially open our doors in 2016!

What started off as simply a little girls love of horses quickly turned into owning one, then two (sound familiar?) to why not – let’s build the barn!  And that’s where we are today – with a beautiful facility that will ensure a safe, family-friendly environment for all to ride!  Here’s the team that is making it all happen:

Jen Hubbard – Owner and operator, oversees all of the barn operations and communications on a daily basis.

Michael Hubbard – Owner and caretaker of the barn and the pastures – and has been accused of singing to the grass to make it grow and giving the horses too many treats (and has not denied either).

Loren Hazard-Daniel – Blue Skies partnered with Loren in 2018 to provide training rides for our horses as well as to work with our top students as they progress from the A to AA shows.

Katie Hines  – Trainer at Blue Skies, Katie works on the training and exercise riding of our horses, as well as working with our beginning to advanced show riders.
