MASK OR PUT BOOTS ON BOARDER’S HORSE.
RING LIGHTS: PLEASE SHUT THEM OFF AS SOON AS YOUR DONE.
PASTURE: I DO REQUIRE THE HORSE’S OWNER TO HELP ME WEAN THEIR HORSE ONTO GRASS IN THE
LATE SPRING, WHEN THE BARN OWNER DECIDES THE FIELDS ARE DRY ENOUGH. THIS MEANS THE HORSE’S
OWNER MUST COME AND HAND GRAZE THEIR HORSE UNTIL THEY REACH 1 HR OF GRAZING AT WHICH TIME
THE BARN OWNER WILL TAKE OVER. PLEASE CONSULT THE BARN OWNER AS TO WHEN THIS WILL START
AND WHERE TO GRAZE YOUR HORSE. IF YOU FEEL THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU TO DO. THE BARN
OWNER WILL WEAN YOUR HORSE FOR A FEE OR NOT HAVE THEM OUT TO GRAZE FOR THE SEASON. OFF
SEASON (OCT./NOV. TO THE END OF MAY) PLEASE DON’T HAND GRAZE OR WALK YOUR HORSE ON THE
GRASS FIELDS. PLEASE DON’T RIDE ON THE FIELDS AT ANYTIME OF YEAR. IT CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE
FIELDS. THE FIELDS ARE FOR HORSES TO GRAZE ON ONLY.
TARPS: THERE ARE TARPS ON EACH HORSE’S STALL DOOR THAT ARE USED DURING THE SUMMER TO
KEEP THE BARN COOLER AND HELP KEEP THE BUGS OUT. THE HORSE’S OWNER NEEDS TO WORK WITH
THEIR HORSE TO GET THEM USE TO WALKING THRU THE TARP.
FANS ARE ALSO INSTALLED IN EACH STALL AND TURNED ON AT THE BARN OWNER’S DISCRESSION ONLY.
FARRIER &VET: YOU ARE WELCOME TO USE ANY FARRIER OR VET OF YOUR CHOICE. MY HUSBAND IS A
FARRIER AND MOST FIND IT CONVENIENT TO USE HIM. I TYPICALLY PREFER THE HORSE’S OWNER TO BE AT
ALL VET APPOINTMENTS, EXCEPT SPRING SHOTS. I WILL TRY AND HELP YOU OUT IF ITS NOT POSSIBLE. I
DO REQUIRE BOARDER’S HORSES TO REMAIN CURRENT ON ALL VACCINES REQUIRED IN OUR AREA AND
WORMING. I REQUIRE A CURRENT COGGINS TO COME TO THE BARN. I DO NOT TREAT BOARDER’S
HORSES WOUNDS OR APPLY MEDICATION, UNLESS IT’S A MEDICATION THAT IS PLACED IN THEIR GRAIN.
THE BARN OWNER WILL TREAT THE BOARDER’S HORSES WOUNDS OR WRAP IF INJURED FOR A FEE.
HELMETS: ALL BOARDERS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR AN ASTM RATED HELMET AT ALL TIMES WHILE RIDING
AND SUITABLE FOOT WEAR THAT HAS A HEEL FOR THE RIDER’S SAFETY.
DOGS: I DO ASK THAT BOARDER’S LEAVE THEIR DOGS AT HOME. I OWN 9 DOGS AND IT CAN GET QUITE
CRAZY WITH BOARDER’S AND NEIGHBORS DOGS TOO ON THE FARM. IT’S A SAFETY ISSUE. IF YOU MUST
BRING YOUR DOG(S). YOU ARE WELCOME TO KEEP THEM IN YOUR CAR. I DO HAVE AN AREA THAT IS
SHADY DURING THE SUMMER TO PARK. IF YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR DOG FEEL FREE TO WALK
THEM IN “WILD CAT”. THE TOWN OWNED LAND BEHIND OUR FARM. IT’S 300 ACRES OF TRAILS, WHICH IS
WHERE WE TRAIL RIDE ON TOO. IT’S A GREAT PLACE TO WALK.
