Real boarding. Real care. Real horses. We run a working operation on the eastern plains—where every stall is cleaned daily and every horse is treated like family.
9-H Quarter Horses & Paints Horse Motel sits on the open eastern Colorado plains outside La Junta, and we do things the way they should be done—no shortcuts, no gimmicks, no hiding behind a corporate phone tree.
This is a working horse operation. The horses here are boarded, trained, and cared for by people who actually ride them. When you bring your horse to us, you're not dropping them off at a warehouse with automatic waterers and a checklist. You're bringing them to people who know the difference between a Paint and a Quarter Horse—and who care about the difference.
Whether you need full board, short-term lodging while you're in town, or just a safe place for your horse to stretch out, we'll give you an honest answer and a fair price. No pressure. No upselling. Just good horses and good people.
Daily feeding, stall cleaning, fresh water, and turnout. Your horse gets a clean stall, a routine, and attention from people who show up every day.
Stopping through La Junta? We offer short-term horse lodging so you and your horse can rest properly before the next leg of your trip.
Pasture and paddock access every day. Your horse gets movement, fresh air, and the space to behave like a horse instead of standing in a stall.
Our property is fully fenced with quality fencing, and common areas are lit for safety. Your horse is contained and monitored.
We provide quality hay and grain tailored to your horse's needs. Special dietary requests are handled without question.
Day boarding, weekly, monthly, or seasonal—we work around your schedule, not the other way around. Call us and we'll figure it out together.
"We don't take horses we can't properly care for. If we're full, we'll tell you. That's just how we do things."
We're located in La Junta, Colorado—strategically positioned on the eastern plain where Highway 50 and Interstate 25 meet. Whether you're coming from Pueblo, Trinidad, or further south through Kansas, we're an easy stop for horse lodging and boarding.
La Junta sits at the confluence of the Arkansas and Cimarrone rivers, offering a quiet, rural setting without being remote. We're close enough to town for supplies and vet access, but far enough out that your horses have room to breathe.
Whether it's a permanent home or a stopover, we'll make sure both you and your horse feel welcome. Give us a call—we're always happy to talk horses.
Every horse is different, and we want to understand what yours needs before we give you a price. Fill out the form or call us directly—we'd rather talk than guess.
