PLEASURE/TRAIL HORSE BOARDING
All Disciplines are Welcome at JJ's Place
It's not easy finding a boarding facility for your horse to call home. Location is obviously a factor, for visitation and also for accessibility to trail systems. And there's also the tender, loving care your horse needs. At JJ's Place, we offer a convenient location on Central Vancouver Island, around-the-clock on-site care, and a facility that's second-to-none. We've also got excellent relationships with both the barn vet and barn farrier. Owner Laura Goold has been a horse owner for over 4 decades and is a graduate of Kwantlen College's Equine Studies Program, with a Citation in Equine Injury & Lameness. If you're in search of a great home for your horse, with easy access to trail systems and all the tender loving he or she could need, we'd love to hear from you!

Kind Words From Clients
JJ’s Place is a beautiful setting with careful thought put into each detail of the barn, paddocks, and fencing. The owner is a life long horse owner with a lot of experience and she will give your horses amazing, individualized care (safety of the horses first!). It’s very rare to find a worry-free boarding barn! Definitely a 5-Star barn (but it didn’t give me an option for stars?).
