OPERATIONS
THE STALLS
The stalls are 12' x 12' and 12' x 15'. Larger stalls for foaling or multiple animals are also available. Most of the stalls have a window with a lovely view. The windows are opened daily during fair weather to allow circulation of air and an interesting view for the horse. The stall windows are closed at night and in bad weather.
THE FEEDING PROGRAM
The feed program is customized for each horse. We feed either grass hay or alfalfa or a mix of the two at the election of the owner. Horses are given hay five times per day. Twice a day horses are fed pellet foods and grains according to a custom recipe for each horse chosen by the owner. We stock a number of pellet feeds including Purina products such as Strategy, Ultium, and Equine Senior.
We also carry Progressive Nutrition products such as ProAdvantage, Pro Elite, Progressive Performance and Envision.We offer other feed and additives such as sweet feed, oats, barley, rice bran, linseed meal and the like. The farm stocks beet pulp and wheat bran for owners to make mashes. All of these items are included in the monthly board. Many of the owners also request special additives such as vitamins or Strongid. These extras will be fed at the request of the owner and at the owner's expense.
DAILY TURNOUT
Each horse, even those with private runs, receives turnout for several hours each day. Normally turnout is from 7 am to 3 or 4 PM. The turnout is on an individual or group basis as the owner requests. The smallest turnouts are approximately 60' by 60' and they range up to two or three acres. Each turnout paddock has its own water. The horses are fed hay during the day for browsing while in turnout.
BLANKETING
Horses are blanketed daily as necessary. Generally, lightweight blankets are used whenever the temperature is below 40 degrees and heavy blankets whenever the temperature is below 30 degrees.
BEDDING
Most owners prefer wood shavings as bedding. Shavings are imported from Canada and they are not the by product of a sawmill. The trees are made directly into bedding so there are no paints, chemical treatments or other toxins as sawmill by product can have. The shavings are also sifted which reduces dust tremendously. Straw bedding is also offered. Straw is healthier than shavings and keeps dust to a minimum, which is best for horse health and the cleanliness of the barn environment. Stalls are cleaned daily and the paddocks are cleaned weekly. All manure is taken away from the farm to a recycling center. There are no manure piles on the property.
FARRIER AND VETERINARY VISITS
Veterinary and farrier visits and can be scheduled with the owner present while the visit is going on to communicate with the vet or farrier and to help control the horse.
