At Houdini, we strive to offer an individualized program where both horse and rider reach their fullest potential. Basic Board packages start at $1,550/Month offering the finest amenities in the Pittsburgh area.
​
Horses are fed 2x's a day with Poulin Grain products in addition to any supplements or medications administered. Hay is provided at each feeding and throughout the day, as needed. Hay is provided both in the stall and in the fields. We turnout six days a week (weather permitting). We offer both individual or paired turnout in addition to long- and short-term turnout groups. Stalls are cleaned six days a week and bedded with shavings. Waters are cleaned daily offering both automatic waterers or water buckets. Horses hooves are picked as needed when brought in from turnout and customers are notified of any missing shoes or any noticeable injuries. Additionally, basic blanket, leg protection and fly gear changes are made as well. ​
