If proof is not received by May 30th, Management will inoculate horse(s) and bill Owner on the following months board invoice. Owner is responsible for repayment to Management within 30 days. Horses are to be wormed every 60 days or 4x’s per year. Owner agrees that boarded horse(s) will participate in Stable’s worming, immunization, and teeth floating schedules. Boarders are responsible for setting up appointments for services unless Owner requests assistance from Management.
You are required to provide a turnout halter (must be a breakaway with snap closure, no rope halters) and a lead rope. No halters allowed on horses while they are stalled or in pastures.
Stall boarders are required to provide a hay net for their horse’s stall and provide a clip to attach. Preferably not a double end snap.
Stall boarders may supply a nameplate for their horse’s stall door and Management will attach it.
Stall boarders may also supply stall play toys for their horses but, if they need to be attached in any way, only Management may do so. Horses are provided with free choice salt/mineral block in pasture. If you would like to provide additional salt licks in your stall, you may do so at your own cost.
If you are a stall boarder, you will be provided with a saddle rack and an area for any additional horse related items in our secure and climate-controlled tack room.
​
If you are a field boarder, you will be provided with a saddle rack and an area for any additional horse related items in our secure shed.
​
Please be courteous of other boarder’s equipment in the tack room. Refrain from leaving your items on their lockers, saddle racks or totes. If you need more space, please make inquires to Management and we will see what we can provide for you.
​
Please use the designated cross ties located in the isle way or wash bay. Refrain from tying horses to metal bars and/or stall doors. There is also an outside hitching post located out front of the barn for your convenience.
​
If you give your horse supplements/medications, please provide them weekly or on a monthly basis to Management. They must be clearly marked with your horse’s name and proper dosage. A fee may apply to administer, please inquire with Management.
