Boarding, Breeding & Lay Ups
Daehling Farms in Elk Grove, California specializes in breeding, foaling and boarding broodmares and their offspring. In addition, we also specialize in boarding and raising thoroughbred yearlings, two-year-olds and providing layup services for horses requiring rest and rehabilitation, whether in a stall, paddock or in a pasture.
For those horses not requiring a stall or paddock, horses boarded at Daehling Farms are raised on lush, irrigated pasture during the spring, summer and fall and receive a daily grain ration formulated by a consulting equine nutritionist. Our horses have the opportunity to grow as a horse should – on green grass with lots of room to roam and run. During the rainy months, horses receive four flakes of hand selected alfalfa daily along with their grain ration.
A consulting veterinarian specializing in equine reproduction is on site multiple days during the week throughout the breeding season. Daehling Farms features an electronic foaling notification system with a nightwatchman onsite during the entire length of the breeding season. Weanlings, yearlings and layups are welcome for temporary or permanent boarding.
