Medical Care:
Emergency Medical Care- in the case of an emergency, we will contact you immediately. We ask that, in the case we contact you with a severe medical emergency, you are responsive and attentive to your horse’s needs.
However, if we are unable to reach you, we will contact your vet and follow their instructions. Often, following their instructions for the care of severe injuries and colic is extremely time consuming. Generally, the first hour of care will be at no charge, then $25/ hour of care. We have limited emergency medications, supplies, and our personal trailer on site. If you or your vet determines that your horse requires the use of these resources, additional fees may be assessed.
Non-emergency Care- standing wraps, bandaging, ointments, eye drops, and other medications that are difficult to administer- $5 (may vary)
Misc.:
Holding for vet/ farrier -$10-20
Turn-in NOT with the herd- Have a special circumstance and want your horse turned in early, at a time other than when the rest of the horses are coming in? $5 per horse per time.
Trailer-in fee- Have friends that would like to ride at our facility? They may trailer in for a fee of $20.
Hand walking/ hand grazing – $15 for 20 minutes
Trailering- limited availability since we attend numerous horse shows/events throughout the year. Contact us if interested. Prices vary based on milage.
Extra shavings/ hay- want extra shavings or hay given to your horse? Please communicate with us and we can order it. Taking extras is NOT allowed. We work closely with hay/shavings suppliers and order these items in advance, so taking extras may result in shortages at the end of the month.
