Horse Boarding and Boarder Services
We
care for your horse as if it were our own. We do the little extras:
blanketing when below 35 degrees; placing supplements* in daily feeds;
worming based on vet recommendations; Equimin (a free choice salt and
mineral supplement); make appointments and hold your horse for the
blacksmith
,
vet, equine dentist and we pay the bill allowing you to reimburse us
within the week. The amount you owe is put on your locker clip.
Unfortunately, we must close grass pastures during the winter months so we
can use them to their best advantage. We wish we had sufficient pasture for
the horses to be out on green
grass daily, but that is not a reality for us. We more than balance this
shortcoming with the top quality hay & Southern States premium Legends
feed as well as the superior care, cleanliness and many other amenities of
our facility. All stalls are matted, have skylights and windows.
Above All We Foster A Positive, Concerned, Atmosphere For You and Your Horse!
| Turn-Out:
New horses will be introduced to the herd a few horses at a time
in order to make friends before being a part of a large group. To
the best of our ability, geldings and mares are separated in
turn-out. June-Sept., the horses come in between 8:00-8:30 AM to
be fed. Afternoon feeds are between 3:00-3:30 PM. Horses are
turned out in lush pastures for 1/2-2 hours daily while grass
pastures are plentiful. They are then turned out of the night into
their assigned dirt fields until the morning. Oct-May, the horses
are fed between 8:30-9:00 AM and turned out into their dirt fields
with heated water troughs. They come in to be fed between
3:30-4:00 PM.
