Horse Boarding in Grinnell, Iowa (Poweshiek County)

Welcome Home to Pine Hollow Stables
"We may not be the fanciest, but we definitely are the friendliest"

Pine Hollow stables is a family owned boarding facility opened in the spring of 2006 by Leesa Parkhill-Nieland, her family, and countless friends who made this ranch possible. Together with her husband Dan, they invite you to see how Pine Hollow is a different kind of facility, kick off your shoes, and maybe even stay awhile.

Our goal is to provide the best possible care for your horse, while offering a unique community experience for the horse owner. There's no snobbery or politics's here, so check them at the gate. This is a horse owners dream come true and your home away from home.

We hope that you enjoy our stables and that you make many memories here with us at Pine Hollow.

Happy ridding,

Leesa & Dan Nieland

With the owners living on the property and managing the day to day chores themselves, you can rest assure that your horse is getting the same care that they would be getting if you were doing it yourself.

Regardless of the level of care you choose, your horse indoors or out, ALL Pine Hollow boarders enjoy the same amenities. Use of arenas, round pen, turn outs, and tack areas are all standard, and provided to you at no extra charge.

All horses are checked on twice daily for cuts, kicks, and heat. If there is an issue, you will be notified, and veterinarian called for your piece of mind in the event of an emergency.


FULL CARE STALLS

Your horse is bedded in a large stall with a generous portion of high quality hay, grain and clean/fresh filtered water twice daily.
They are turned out for 1 to 3 hours a day, and blanket application and removal are provided in the cold months.
The stalls are cleaned once a day, and striped and sanitized once a month.


SEMI SELF CARE STALL

You provide the gain and we feed it for you.

A square bale feed paddock is available for the easy keeper, or the horse that is prone to founder, or colic.
They all have shelter, and fresh water filled and checked twice daily.
