“The horse, with beauty unsurpassed, strength immeasurable, and grace unlike any other, still remains humble enough to carry a man upon his back.” – Mark Twain

Quality Care for Your Horse

Welcome to Shuva Stables, where we redefine the art of horse boarding by prioritizing regenerative practices and holistic equine care. Nestled in beautiful Eclectic, Alabama, our facility stands as a testament to our commitment to foster the well-being of your equine companions through innovative, sustainable, and horse-centric practices.

At Shuva Stables, we pride ourselves in our unique approach to horse care, centered around responsible pasture rotation and equicentral design. Our pasture rotation method not only revitalizes the land but also ensures your horses enjoy spacious, nutrient-rich grazing areas, promoting their natural behaviors and overall health.

Our forage-based feeding program is at the heart of our philosophy. We understand the significance of a balanced and natural diet for horses. By curating personalized forage-based feeding plans, rich in high-quality grasses and nutrient-dense hay, we aim to support your horse’s digestive health, vitality, and longevity.

Equicentral Management

At Shuva Stables, our commitment to superior equine care is embodied in our meticulously designed equicentral system. Rooted in principles that emphasize the well-being of horses and the sustainable stewardship of our land, here’s what sets our approach apart:

Centralized Hub: Our "loafing area" is designed in a way to allow horses easy access to clean, fresh water and shelter.
Rotational Grazing: The property is divided into multiple pastures allowing for rotational grazing. Horses are moved systematically between these pastures to prevent overgrazing, promote pasture health, and facilitate natural foraging behaviors.
Paddock Roadway: Our paddock design ensure horses have easy access to clean and fresh water and hay sources from each grazing area or pasture. This approach keeps horses naturally moving and exercising.
Natural Land Management: Emphasis is placed on sustainable land management practices, such as rotational pasture management, to maintain the health and fertility of the land. This includes techniques to prevent soil erosion, enhance biodiversity, and improve pasture quality.
Social Interaction: Equicentral systems encourage social interaction among horses by allowing them to move freely between pastures and congregate around centralized areas, promoting natural herd dynamics and reducing stress.
Efficient Manure Management: The design incorporates efficient manure management practices to minimize environmental impact. This might involve designated areas for composting or spreading manure to enhance soil fertility without causing environmental harm.
Health Monitoring: Equicentral systems facilitate regular health checks and monitoring of horses due to the centralized hub, allowing caretakers to observe and assess the animals' well-being more effectively.
