Conditions for acceptance of boarders:

Because of the fact we live on the property (and this is our HOME not just a business),we have become very strict on the types of boarders we allow here at our home. Over time we have come to realize EXTREME boarders do not fit in well with our 'horse keeping' practices.  We ENJOY providing these horse related services to people who ENJOY their horses!

We firmly believe horses need a standard of care; they need their hooves trimmed on a reasonable schedule. They need their shots and regular deworming. They need exercise and healthy food, occasional grooming, reasonable shelter and fairly safe environment. Being domesticated they also need a certain amount of attention from their owners (people). However, we also believe HORSES ARE MEANT TO BE HORSES. They can be out in the rain, they do NOT have to be fed at the same exact time every day, on the hour on the minute. Small scratches, squabbles in group turn out, sun fading and being dirty are a healthy and acceptable consequence to SOCIAL TURN OUT.

While we try to provide reasonable care, life is not PERFECT. If things get broken we do our best to fix them as quickly as we can. We do our best to use the common sense and judgment that comes from being around horses for over 15 years - but accidents DO happen. We believe healthy (mentally and physically) horses can and do adjust quite well with out being pampered, coddled or living better than the average human does. :-)

We invite potential boarders to come out several times to get a feel for the atmosphere, environment and standard of horse care practices we use. We are more than willing to provide contacts/references from previous and current boarders. Boarders who do not prove to be responsible owners (paying their bills on time, providing proper care per AB provincial laws) will be asked to leave. Boarders who expect care standards above the services we offer CAN be accommodated BUT WILL BE CHARGED according to their wants/needs (individual turn out or altered turn out schedule, special feed/hay needs, special blanketing/fly sheet type needs etc).

Horse owners / Boarders should have a certain level of experience, confidence and common sense to allow them to carry out such tasks as; go out in the field and safely retrieve their horse, ride or handle the horse in the company of others, handle their horse safely under normal circumstances, understand common horse farm etiquette like closing gates/doors, not tying your horse to inappropriate objects, etc. If owners show that they are inexperienced to a level that they put themselves, others or other's horses in harms way, or do not understand the basics of horse care those boarders may be required to take some basic horsemanship lessons.

We want the horses to be comfortable here, and we want to feel comfortable with our boarders as we want our boarders to feel comfortable here!
