"When my Morgan colt required specialized care for several weeks after undergoing surgery, Ross Haven Farm was able to provide the care, medical attention, and time that I could not during such an unexpected event. I always felt reassured and confident knowing my horse was getting such individual attention in the hands of such competent and knowledgeable professionals. I would not hesitate to recommend RHF to anyone and would absolutely use their great services again"
-Liz Tylawsky, Woodstock CT

"I'm not sure who gets better care at RHF - the horse or the owner! The horse gets top flight medical attention and the owner gets peace of mind. Carl, Mona and Pete seem to go the extra mile to provide updates and reassurances while providing pro-active, personalized care [for] my mare. She's happy, I'm happy - a "haven" is what this farm is!"

"Hi, my name is Jamie. I am 12 years old. I own a miniature horse named Hot Stuff. He is very special to me, we do everything together. When he had to go to Ross Haven I was very sad, but once I got to and visit him things got better. Hot Stuff was happy and treated very good. He was cared for the way I would care for him myself, with love and hugs that he needed daily. They brushed him daily and gave his medication. They even put a stereo in his stall so he would not feel lonely. Ross Haven Farm did everything to make my horse feel like [he was] at home and me so I would not worry."

Ross Haven Farm is a refuge for horses needing TLC, like my horse Oreo. This picturesque New England setting offers a beautiful, healing atmosphere, where I could depend on daily care for my horse while healing from a coronet injury. I spent hours each day, almost every day, for weeks visiting my horse and always feeling welcome, and met with friendly caring people from Dr. Kirker-Head to Mona and Pete, to other boarders who had extra carrots to share. I hope Oreo is on the mend now that he's home, but if we had to have further care, I would rest easier now that I know first hand what to expect at Ross Haven Farm."

"...the overall care, communication, knowledge, support and facility is truly of the highest standards, certainly second to no other convalescent care facility in New England. Dr. Kirker-Head was always readily available to contact and kept us well apprised of our horses health and progress. Our horse was a patient at Ross Haven Farm for two months and had tendon surgery; we were always extremely welcomed to visit and our horse was incredibly well taken care of at Ross Haven Farm by Dr. Kirker-Head, Mona and Pete. Our horse received superior overall medical care; our horse was hand walked 3x per day for several weeks. Our horse's stall was kept impeccably clean; his feeding regimen was perfect for his needs. All overall costs were very reasonable, including transportation to and from Tufts University. My daughter and I completely trusted leaving our horse at Ross Haven Farm. We would strongly recommend RHF as a convalescence facility for your horse and for our horses if ever needed. The property of RHF provides a beautiful and peaceful atmosphere which is ideal for an equine convalescence facility."
-PJG and C&G, Maine 

"I can not say enough about the excellent care our horse received at Ross Haven Farm when he was recovering from a broken elbow. They were warm, caring, and always kept us informed. It was obvious our horse felt the same way in how he related to the whole Kirker-Head family when they visited him months [later] after his stay with them. He ran across the paddock when he saw them at the fence!"
