Edens Aspens Horsemanship is located in Longmont, CO. with breathtaking views of Longs Peak, and the huge Rocky Mountain Range. The EAH horses and community enjoy riding in many big pastures around the ranch, and enjoying time with their equine partners. The horses enjoy living together in carefully chosen herds, in large paddocks. They are turned out every day, weather permitting, in large pastures where they enjoy running and playing together. When they are brought in to their paddocks, they have as close to natural environments as possible, with some pampering still from their humans. They enjoy free choice hay, to allow them the natural grazing they would do out on the range. They are fed high quality grass hay that is grown in one of our 20 acre pastures.  The Training Program of EAH focuses on honoring the horse for their gracious hearts and showing them what partnership with humans is. The training is based on natural horsemanship basics, in that we want the horse to enjoy being with their human as much as we humans enjoy their company. We work toward being able to understand the horses language, and teaching the horse how to become close partners with their human.

Mission statement:

Edens Aspens Horsemanship is committed to providing a peaceful and safe environment to enjoy the company of your horse, and for your horse to enjoy their companions of the herd in a relaxing and as close to natural environment as possible. The goal of the training program is to show the horse and human how to become the best partners possible through learning the natural language of the horse. Here at Edens Aspens, we believe that if each entity can understand each other, and if both are committed to each other, that the bonding partnership between the two can never be broken.

Your horse will get to be a horse, and still get plenty of love when they are boarded at EAH.

Feeding: Horses are fed quality grass hay that is grown in one of our 20 acre pastures. They are fed with a free choice system, in order to accommodate their natural grazing habits. There is also a choice to give grain and/or supplements to your horse.

Living Quarters: Horses are kept in carefully grouped  herds, in large paddocks. Horses are very dependent on the natural horse hierarchy, and we strive to keep that way of living here are EAH. Each paddock has a weather shed to give the horses the option to get out of the weather. In these sheds, there is a constant supply of salt blocks to allow them the option to replenish needed minerals. Paddocks also have automatic, heated waterers to supply fresh water to the horses on a consistent basis. The footing in the paddocks is called squeegee. It is a pea gravel type soft rock that beaks down under the horses weight so it does not cause stone bruising, but it does keep the horses feet hard and healthy. It also suck the water down off the surface so there are no puddles or mud. This keeps the horses feet dry so there is less bacteria for thrush to grow in the hooves. It also holds the heat from the sun, so the horses love to lay down on it in the early morning.

Turnout: Horses enjoy daily turnout of up to 5 hours in one of our 20 acre pastures. The entire herd is turned out together so they can interact with a large group of horses and play. Horses will not be turned out only if the ground is slick, however, the paddocks will be opened between all the herds in order to still allow interaction and mingling with one another.

Mucking: Paddocks will be mucked at least 5 times per week, weather permitting. Stalls are only available for sick or injured horses.

De-worming and Vaccinations: Horses are de-wormed every other month to ensure the spread of worms remain nominal through out EAH. Every horse is on the same de-worming schedule, that is changed up every few months to kill any new types of worms. Also, horses are vaccinated every spring and fall to ensure healthy and vibrant horses.
