At Van & Sons Farm our missions is simple: We strive to maintain a safe, fun and relaxing atmosphere that promotes growth in your equine endeavors.
We take a very careful, experience-based approach to the care of all of the horses in our barn. Daily observation and handling allows us to develop an excellent working knowledge of your horse and their unique personality quirks and individual needs. We choose our herds based upon each horse's personality and do not put horses who are fully shod in with others.
Constant surveillance of our barn means that should there be an emergency at any time of the day or night, we will know right away; a service that we consider to be priceless. The happiness and health of the horses in our care is our number one priority.
