Rules

These rules are for the safety of our borders, visitors, and horses. In addition to the rules on this list, we expect our boarders and guests to be respectful of people, property, and animals.

General Rules

• ALL visitors and boarders must sign a liability release form- no exceptions. Borders are responsible for having their visitors sign and return a liability release form. Blank release forms are kept in the clubhouse and must be filled out and returned to management before engaging in horse activities.

• Smoking is not allowed in any building to include the barn, and cigarettes must discard butts in a trash can. No drug use is allowed any time anywhere. 
• Roll up hoses after use. When the temp is below freezing at night and/or during the day, disconnect the hose from the hydrant, drain completely of water, and recoil it.
• Trailer-in horses are allowed in designated areas with prior management approval.
• We are on a septic system, so nothing but human waste and toilet paper can go down the toilet. Please inform your guests of this as well it is VERY important!
