Regarding Turn Out |
|
| |
Do not turn your horse out with anyone else's horse unless it is fully agreed upon by both parties. Please do not leave if your horse is turned out in the main arena.
(See below...) |
| |
|
|
|
Arena Priority |
|
| |
People riding in the main arena have priority over people turning horses out in the main arena. |
| |
|
|
|
Horse Monitoring |
|
| |
Do not allow horses to fraternize with one another over the fences. You must monitor your horse while it is turned out!!! (It also saves on broken fence boards!) If you turn your horse out and leave the premises, someone may want to turn their horse out and thus will either bring yours in or turn theirs out with yours. It is not a good idea to leave with your horse left out to fend for itself, especially when turning out young horses. Everyone needs a turn at turnout... Please do not monopolize the arena for your use.
Horses are not to be turned out in pasture area across the street when it is wet or muddy or during reseeding of the pasture. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
Lighting |
|
| |
Lighting in outdoor & indoor arenas. Lights are there for your safety and comfort, however, please make sure the switch is in the "off" position when you are not inside either arena. |
| |
|
|
|
Farrier & Veterinary payments |

| |
Payment of farrier & veterinary bills are your responsibility. If you cannot be present when either one is here to provide services for you, a check must be left for the work to be completed.
A complete list of Farriers & Veterinarians used at this facility is located below. You are welcome to use whoever you would like, but please designate your preference to call in the event of an emergency when you are unable to be reached. |
| |
|
|
|
Medical Updates |
|
| |
Horses must be vaccinated for tetanus, E & W Sleeping Sickness, Influenza, WNV, Strangles & Rhino when coming to board at C-J RANCH, Inc. It is the boarder's responsibility to continue to maintain a vaccination schedule for the health and safety of their animal. |
| |
|
|
|
Worming your horse |
|
| |
You can either feed a daily wormer (Example: Strongid pellets) or paste worm your horse every six to eight weeks. Horses must be wormed regularly or they cannot use the pasture or turn out areas. |
| |
|
|
|
Blanketing your horse |
|
| |
This is your option... But you cannot put a blanket on your animal & forget about
him (her). Think of it as you wearing a coat & never taking it off. Also, if you keep your horse blanketed, please leave the blanket on when you turn it out to exercise. Taking a blanket off your horse when turning it out in cold weather is like taking your coat off when you go outside to play in the snow. Blankets are not a necessity unless your horse does not have a thick, heavy hair coat. |
| |
|
|
|
Grooming |
|
| |
Grooming your horse is your responsibility. Properly brushing & currying your horse's coat on a regular basis (at least twice a week), is the best & cheapest coat conditioner on the market. |
| |
|
|
|
Regarding Locker (s): |
|
| |
