Mission Statement:
To provide a facility where your horse is happiest and healthiest
Welcome!
Our Best Points:
Lots of trails
"Free-choice" turnout
(barns are always accessible so
horses can choose whether they want to be in or out, but
stalls are available if confinement is needed)
• Allows play with "buddies"
• Allows rolling on clean ground
• Encourages self-exercise
• Allows instinctual behavior of grazing/roaming
• Allows your horse to pick most comfortable spot (in sun, away from wind, in stall, in breezeway)
• Reduces chances of boredom-related vices developing (cribbing, weaving, stall kicking)
• Stalls allow for undisturbed eating
Wood or rubber fence
Drinking water heated during winter (a precaution against colic due to not drinking in cold weather)
Four separate herd groups
• Can separate according to disposition, gender, age, etc.
• In the unlikely event of a contagious disease being brought onto premises, likely to be contained to one group
• Rotated Pastures:
Breaks up worm cycle
Controls grazing - longer pasture life
• Large pasture:
Plenty of room for muscle-stretching sprints
