Our Story

We Don’t Just Board Horses.
We Care for Them.

♦

Cates Horse Boarding isn’t a commercial facility — it’s our family’s home in Garfield, Arkansas. We opened our gates to NWA horse owners who wanted something better: real land, a real family on-site, and genuine care for their horse every single day.

We know every boarded horse by name, by personality, by quirk. When something is off with your horse, we notice — because we live here, we walk these fields every single day, and we treat every horse in our care as if it were our own.

👁️
Daily Individual Wellness Checks

Every horse checked personally by the family, every day — no exceptions, no shortcuts.

🏠
Family Lives on the Property

Not hired staff. Your horse’s caretakers are the people who own this land and genuinely love every animal in their care.

📱
Open, Flexible Communication

Call or text any time. Life gets complicated — we work with you, not against you.

The People Behind It

You’re Not Hiring a Facility.
You’re Trusting a Family.

♦

A horse owner trusting someone with their animal deserves to know exactly who is on the other side. Here’s who we are.

“
We started Cates Horse Boarding because NWA horse owners deserved a better option — real land, real family on-site, and genuine care for every horse. We had the land and the heart for it, so we opened our gates.. So we opened our farm.
