Boarders

Yes the boarding fee includes hay, water, and salt.  We make efforts to purchase quality hay, and how much your horse receives will vary depending on weather and conditions.  Any additional supplements must be provided by the horse owner.

We require a 4-way vaccine to be administered at least 2 weeks before bringing a horse to our facility for boarding.  The 4-way vaccine includes Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE), Tetanus, and West Nile Virus.

Treating all of the horses concurrently helps prevent reinfection, so LTRA deworms every horse on the property in the same day twice a year.  While this is normally done by LTRA staff, all horse owners have the right to manage their own dewormer.  Plenty of notice will be sent as for when this occurs.

Yes, however we ask that the ration you would like provided to your horse be pre-divided and placed in bags. This avoids over/under feeding of supplements.

All veterinary care, including the administration of medications, is the responsibility of the horse owner. 

The horses are fed between 8:00 - 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 - 5:30 p.m.

Every night between 8:00 to 10:00 p.m. a yard check is done to ensure all gates are secure, all waterers are running properly, and that the horses are healthy.

We refer our horse care standards to the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines that is provided by the National Farm Animal Care Council.  The code of practice for horses is available through the links below:

• Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Equines
• National Farm Animal Care Council

We do regular analysis on the hay that we use.  The following articles outline how to interpret the hay analysis for the use of equestrian feed:

Boarders may use the arenas at any time they are not otherwise scheduled.  For availability check the Events Calendar.  

For the courtesy of the next users please leave the arena at least 15 minutes before the next class or rental is scheduled.
