Pasture Prime / Springerle Stables BoarderInformation
We are a boarding stable. We don’t provide everything. The information that follows outlines the services included in the monthly board and the rules that apply when on the property. A separate price sheet is available for additional services.
Board:
A monthly bill with your name on it will be posted on the board in the barn on the first of each month. The bill will reflect the monthly fee for board and any additional charges. The bill is due within five days of its posting.
Feed:
We feed hay 2 times each day (AM, PM and a noon flake when horses are in) and grain twice, AM and PM. Weuse Nutrena horse feeds. If you prefer a different type of grain and our grain dealers stock it we can arrange for it to be delivered and include the price of the feed on your monthly bill. (We do not markup feed on your bill if you chose something different.) Hay is a mix between first and second cut due to the horse and time of year. We supply two buckets of water at all times except in winter. They get a heated bucket in the winter that we supply. If your horse breaks the heated bucket a replacement will be charged to your bill.
Hay:
We do not allow owners to throw extra flakes of for any reason. Ask if you have a question on this and we can explain further. Extra hay can be feed if horses needs it during feed times the added coat will be added to your monthly board bill.
Supplements and Medication:
We feed supplements and medication at no charge if fed during feeding times. (You supply them and are required to check and replace them when needed)
Stalls:
Stalls are 12 x 12 and matted. Due to the mats and daily cleaning our horses get limited bedding. Bedding is what you see. We don’t allow more than a scoop or two added to a stall when owners clean in evenings. No exceptions. Stalls are cleaned once a day, exceptions are in winter due to freezing temperatures when they will be picked at feeding. We provide wheelbarrows and cleaning utensils if you feel like picking. We provide a feed bucket/feed pan and two water buckets at no charge. If your horse causes abnormal wear and tear on buckets you will be charged on your monthly bill (example: cribbers and kickers).
Managementshall have the right to assign and re-assign paddocks, pastures and stalls in order tominimize dangerous or nuisance situations or wear & tear on the facility or o make way for new horses.
Turnout:
Horses will not be taken out of pastures by owners (its horsey time) due to safety and close proximity of the indoor to the pastures. If other arrangements need to be made talk to Kayte.
We turn out horses in large herds. If your horse does not get along in the herd or by your choice you don’t want them in the herd, there’s a $5.00 per day turnout fee for the days they go out. (If you have more than one horse and you want them out together, the price remains $5.00 for the pair not for each horse. This is also relative to space if available). In this case we can’t guarantee they will have a grass pasture if they don’t they will be supplement hay while in pasture.
Due to bad weather/bad footing, etc. horses are turned out in small groups in the indoor and wear muzzles to limit destruction on our indoor.
Worming:
We worm every month from first frost (April) to last (November). The first and last month they get hit with an ivermectin. We send horses fecal samples to be checked and some horses at that point might need a power pack. The cost of the wormer and fecal samples will be on the following month’s bill or vet bill.
Vet:
We use Mid-State Veterinary Service and Early Winter Equine. We set up semi- annual routine vaccination appointmentsfor the entire barn. We do not charge to hold horses on barn set up appointments. If you chose to use another Vet you must arrange for and be available to hold your horse for your appointment. You must also supply us with a copy of your horse’s vaccination records. A list of required vaccinations is available on request. We are here for emergencies and will call the Vet. We will try to call you first, but if we are unable to contact you the Vet will be called at your expense. If a Vet is needed for any other situation and you are unable to be here a $20 Call charge will be added to your monthly bill if we have to hold the horse and meet with the Vet because you are unable to be here for the appointment you scheduled.
Note: A recent Coggins,rabies certificate, and recent necessary health certificates, vaccination records need to be on file at farm and must be present before a new horse will be allowed in.
Farrier:
Norm Carney and Kaytlin L. Bell service the barn. Norm Carney comes every six weeks and if you choose to use him and your horse will stand on cross ties, we can add your name onto his shoeing list if he will take on additional horses. The date Norm is coming will be posted on the board in the barn and you must leave a check for him. If you choose to use someone else it is your responsibility to make those arrangements and be present for the appointment. If you are unable to make that appointment a $20.00 Call charge per horse will be added to your monthly bill. Feet must be done routinely. No exceptions.
Note: All farrier and vet visits that you schedule must be cleared with management and will be written on the barn calendar. Only one farrier or vet can be scheduled at a time.
Medical Attention:
If your horse is injured, it’s your responsibility for your horse’s aftercare with your own supplies. We can help if help is needed. If you use Pasture Prime Stables’ Supplies on an emergency basis, please replace them so they are available for the next horse. If we have to care for your horse there will be a $7.00 per day charge. If we use our medications (ace, banamine, dex, etc..) (vet wrap ointments, gauzes) the amount will be charged to your monthly bill.
