Boarding

A Relaxed & Supportive Environment

For you and your horse…

At Airy Hill Stables, we pride ourselves in creating an atmosphere that is relaxing and rewarding for both horses and humans to learn, grow and thrive. Our small and intimate horse farm located just outside of Chestertown, Maryland is set in the peaceful, rural countryside of Kent County ~ the state’s least populous and least developed.

The horses all live out in a natural and quiet environment. We have a variety of pastures with mature trees, run-in sheds, and supplemental round bales in nibble nets and hay huts. Here they can be social and have plenty of space to move around and enjoy themselves. We have a limited area of semi-dry paddocks for those who need less pasture.

We have both indoor and outdoor riding arenas and a barn with comfy stalls for those occasions that necessitate extra shelter and tender care.

We offer field board for everyone and retirement board for horses who are in their golden years. Here, they can be at ease in the beautiful surroundings with just enough happening to keep them entertained. We look after them as if they are our own.

There really are no words to adequately convey the magic of Airy Hill Stables. We were very excited to discover their website as we searched far and wide for quality board for two sweet old drafts to relocate and to remain together long term. Communication was exceptional from day one, however the warmth and wisdom inherent in all aspects of Christina's herd and farm management practices have been nothing short of life changing for both of our horses. She is truly the best "barn Mama" you could EVER hope for. Our horses are in their mid to late 20s now, and there is still much to learn and monitor as they age on. Since the move, they are both thriving beyond expectations - not just from proper diet and consistent care and supervision, but they are genuinely happy and right at home in the wonderfully dedicated and dynamic community at Airy Hill Stables.

My horses have been boarded at Airy Hill Stables for the last 5 years. The care, professionalism, atmosphere, and facilities cannot be beat. I have boarded my horses at different stables across Maryland and never came close to what we have with Christina at Airy Hill. A skilled horsewoman and fantastic human being she treats my horses as if they were her own. She nurtures their bodies and their spirits, always evaluating their well-being and being immediately responsive should any issues arise. The community at Airy Hill Stables is family oriented, warm, and down to earth. Zero drama here. I have referred clients and friends to Christina for riding lessons and her approach is client-centered with a beautiful perspective for supporting rider and horse partnership. Whatever you’re looking for in a stable Airy Hill Stables is top notch!

I can't thank you enough for your help with trailering. You were phenomenal and watching you re-affirmed my knowledge that my horses are in the right place. I feel extremely blessed that you are in our lives and I know my girls are going to be completely happy with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Being separated from them is the hardest part of this journey but I have no doubts they are in the right place.
