- Barn hours are 7:00 am to 9:00 pm. If you need to be on the property outside normal hours, we are happy to accommodate that. Please contact Kelly if necessary.
- Each person on the property must sign a release. Anyone other than you who will be riding, caring for or visiting your horse on a regular basis should be introduced to STABLE staff so that we know they have your permission to work with your horse.

- Do not use anyone else’s tack, equipment, supplies or treats without their permission.
- Park in designated areas only. No trailer parking or long term parking without agreement.

No tying on the bridle or ground tying. No excessive or prolonged use of force. No leaving your horse unattended in common areas. You must be under control when riding. No riding behind the barns or in turnouts, stay on bridle path and in arenas/trail course.
- Do not groom, leave your horse tied, or work “at liberty” in the arenas. Please, use round pen. This is to protect and preserve the footing and base.
- Proper and safe riding attire and equipment is required at all times.
- C Barn, the pool area, garage, and the main home are private.
- If there are people riding, please keep lunging or in-hand work brief (less than 10 min)in the indoor arena and be considerate to other arena users. If weather permits, use the round pen or outdoor arena for lunging unless indoor arena is empty.
- Do not provide additional feed from STABLE’S feed stores to your horse. Arrange a feed increase with STABLE staff so that inventory can be managed to prevent feed shortages. If traveling, only take the feed your horse will use for the days he will be gone. You may ask STABLE staff to assist you in preparing your horse’s To-Go rations.
- Do not turn your horse out on grass pastures that are being rested. The grass will die if it is not properly managed. We will indicate when and where grass turnout is available.
- An orientation must be completed before working with your horse in the Trail Park. Please contact Kelly for a safety walk-through with your horse before entering.
- Children are welcome! They must be directly supervised at all times for safety and be careful not to spook horses, touch the electric fences, or damage property.
- Anyone may enjoy the clubhouse, however, it is imperative that it be kept clean and well cared for – including disposing of cups/plates/napkins if you are enjoying our complimentary coffee or snacks. Nobody under the age of 21 is allowed to consume an alcoholic beverage on the property – adults should be safe and courteous and not overindulge or leave alcoholic beverage unattended. Be careful not to spook horses that are riding in the indoor arena because they can see you through the windows.
- Anyone who breaks or defaces any part of the property will be required to pay the full cost of repair by our designated contractor. This includes guests of boarders and it is the boarders’ responsibility to enforce this.
