*********************************************************************************************
General House Keeping:
It is
my belief that we all want the barn to look and smell its best, and for our
horses to be as happy and healthy as possible. In an effort to ensure
that everyone is clear and on the same page regarding needs in the barn, I'd
like to call the following to everyone's attention. I believe that if
we all have the same understanding about things that need to be done to keep
the Lakewood Farm facility looking and functioning at its best, we can all
best contribute to keeping things neat and tidy. The following will greatly
contribute to a pleasant environment.
1.
I've carefully adjusted every gate and
stall to be both safe and secure for the horses inside and outside. Please
pay careful attention to stall door latches and chains, as well as gate
chains. Changing the hooks and latches creates openings that can cause
heads and/or hooves to become stuck leading to injury or even fatalities.
Help keep all of our horses safe by not adjusting gate and stall chains and
hooks. Additionally make sure the back gate to tack room is tied shut
so that no horses can get a nose or head through.
2.
Horses
digestive systems are extremely sensitive, and veterinarian visits can be
costly. We make sure that every horse has fresh, clean water
available. Being very careful to ensure that all water buckets and water
troughs are filled to the top without overflowing prevents colic's and other
health concerns. Do not fill a dirty water tank!
3.
Avoid creating mud at all costs.
Overflowing water tanks and buckets, washing horses and equipment near the
barn, and forgetting to turn off hoses or to prevent leaks where hoses
connect to hydrant are the primary causes of mud. Mother Nature does a
great job of soaking the farm at times. If we can be diligent about
not overflowing waters or leaving hoses leaking or on, we can prevent a lot
of muddy areas. In the summer time, this decreases the fly population
and in the wintertime this keeps mud and ice from being a safety hazard for
you and your horse. Muddy spots are a nuisance and a danger, and
dealing with mud keeps horses and equipment much messier than if we can
avoid muddy spots. Even grabbing a quick drink from the hose directly
in front of the barn causes extra mud holes that have to be dealt with and
tromped through. Make double
sure all handles or water nozzles are off, DON’T leave handle on
water on or any waters in the “on” position.
5.
A clean barn is a more pleasant, healthier environment for you and your
horse. Clean up after yourself if your horse drops a load, or you clip
your horse
or pull a large amount of hair, PLEASE pick up.. If you see ANY trash
around the barn pick it up. Please keep things picked up and put up. The
barn is your horse's home, and you wouldn't want dirty rooms in your house.
6. Don’t move or change any feed bucket or horses with out asking.
7.
Feed management. Don't spill feed on the ground or allow your horse to eat
out of the feed barrel. This will cause flies and smell.
If you spill it, please take time to pick up whatever you can
salvage. I appreciate every effort you make to prevent waste. Don’t
feed hay!
8.
Keeping the farm looking clean and
neat is an ongoing project that we all need to work towards. Cleaning the
round pen and the arena after you use it. Again, just a few extra
minutes of effort from everyone makes the barn more pleasant for everyone
who works here, rides here, visits here, and of course lives here.
