Nine Maple Farm Inc. is a small, private, family run farm located on 16.5 pastoral acres in the rural town of Mendon, Massachusetts. The owners breed and compete quality racehorses.
Nine Maple Farm strives to create a natural environment for the horses. They are turned out 24/7 in herds and allowed freedom of movement. Their turnouts, consisting of multiple terrain, help allow proper hoof growth. They are not fed rich diets which encourages ulcers and bone development problems. When sent for racing, the horses are trained at training farms where they can be turned out and allowed to be horses.
They ship to the track for works and races which helps keep them mentally stable and happy.
We make every effort possible to secure excellent, loving homes for our horses after their race careers. We honestly inform new owners of the horse's complete past history. In fact, we will send a horse out for retraining before finding him/her a home if that will ensure a better quality of life for the individual. We breed for sound horses in wind and limb. We do not race on a bunch of drugs or steroid type supplements. Our horses are never injected. The horses are turned out daily; rested if performance is suffering; and given time off every year to recuperate. We will always take a horse back at any time if their new home is no longer working out.
The Farm is also experimenting with the Barefoot Performance Horse concept.In this regard, they seek to create an environment that allows for the genetically sound horse to excel while training and competing barefoot. In the Farm's experience, a barefoot horse is a healthier horse (sound in wind and structure) and more able to live up to its genetic and athletic potential. Although not every horse can successfully compete barefoot at the highest level due to genetics, the Farm strives to give those individuals who can successfully compete barefoot every opportunity to do so.
Nine Maple Farm is also a proud member of the Massachusetts Thoroughbred Breeders Association .
Occasionally, the Farm has athletes available for purchase to special, loving homes. Please inquire.
