Feeding and stabling are important for your horse's health. Our stalls are 12'x12' or greater, matted with skylights or a window and cleaned twice daily. Daily, individual turn out is provided in fenced gravel paddocks in the rainy season and in fenced grass pastures in the spring and summer. This leisure time provides grazing time and a respite from their training schedule. Horses are fed high quality hay and pelleted feed. They are hand watered. Feeding is supplemented by 'Smartpaks' that are customized for the horse's needs. (owner purchases the Smartpaks)
