Daily Routine

Hay/Grain: I feed a mostly grass hay with little alfalfa. We offer Buckeye feeds (Grow n Win, Safe n Easy, or Senior Complete) or Nutrena Safe Choice. The Board price includes up to 2 scoops of grain per day.

Daily Routine:
7 - 7:15 am	Feed hay and grain
8-8:15 am	Begin dressing for turnout
9 am	Begin turning out the horses (8:30 in the summer)
3:30 p.m.	Begin bringing in the horses, hay is already in their stall when they come in
4:15 p.m.	Grain
After 7 p.m.	Night Check: Sometime after 7 p.m., we top off their water buckets, and give them a flake of hay for the night.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Veterinarians/Farriers: You may use your current vet or farrier.

Hours of Operation: We are open daily from 8 am to 9 p.m.

Communication: I try to keep boarders up to speed on what's going on at the barn. I leave information on a white board for everyone to see. I send texts as well. For example, if horses stay in due to inclement weather.

Security: We have several cameras set up throughout the barn to keep all of our equine friends safe.
