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

Your horse enjoys the same large stall with generous portions of hay and clean/fresh filtered water twice a day.
You provide the gain and we feed it for you.
You provide the bedding and cleaning and enjoy the comforts of having your horse in a stall at a reduced rate.


PADDOCK BOARDING

The paddocks are kept to a small community 4-6 depending on the season, and they are on quality round bales 24/7
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.


PASTURE BOARDING

Our beautiful pasture is seasonal. April to December.
16 acres of rolling hills and trees with a pond, creek, and natural spring calls to your horses wild side, and offers your horse the ability to frolic and play the way they were meant to.
They are checked on twice a day and brought up to the paddocks for winter.

The lessons last one hour. They include grooming, tacking, and riding. We teach both the English and Western disciplines. Along with some gaming. We have Jumps, poles, barrels, trail equipment, and more on site. We focus on safety, center of balance, and knowledge, while having fun on horseback. Lessons are provided on Sunday, Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Most students take regular lessons on a reoccurring weekly schedule. Weekend lessons may be requested to shift or reschedule to accommodate events.

The day camps are coordinated during Des Moines Public School breaks. There is a 1-3 day camp during spring break, a 1 week camp in June, a 1 week camp in July, 2 weeks in August, and then 1-3 day camp during winter break. All the day camps start at 9AM and go till 5PM.

Quite often we also camp out with the horses during spring break and again the last weekend of October. Camp outs include- the horses /tack, 2 days of trail riding, meals, wood for the fire, entertainment in the evening, etc… There are also options for day time riding without the overnight(s).

Hang outs at the barn are from 11AM-5PM when scheduled. The hang out is supervised but, unstructured. Students often groom and ride the lesson horses, play horse board games, socialize, chill out, etc… We have had people come to the barn to do nothing more than homework or read books, while sitting on a horse.

We also allow volunteering. This usually begins at 13. However, we do occasionally make exceptions based on knowledge, safety, focus, and ability.... See More
