Most of our Policies are standard at any reputable barn and reflect good sense and good horsemanship…a few rules are specific to our barn and its specific conditions…thanks for adhering to the Policies and maintaining the safety and good horsemanship we represent.
It is understood that horses are large animals with a mind of their own and can be dangerous. Any experience on or around horses and in this wilderness environment is a risk you are willing to assume and you will furthermore attempt to limit that risk to others by using correct considerate behavior around the other visitors also.
· NO SMOKING on the grounds…(Please be sure to remind your guests)
· Helmets are required when mounted
· Proper foot attire is required for riding in a saddle
· No bare feet around horses
· Signed Release must be on file (& kept current) for all riders and visitors (if you bring a guest, you must always watch them), teach them where to go if there is a loose horse & how to be safe!
· When walking/riding the grounds please make yourself known when coming over a rise or down a hill by talking so that the horses can hear you and not wonder what is in the bushes and spook. Guests are NOT allowed to run free throughout the property…one should seek permission and leave word as to where they will be…Children never go alone!
· Do not drink water from spigots with purpleshut off valves, they are for irrigation only.
· Dogs are to remain in the car or on a hand held leash.
· No jumping without SCR instruction (see Ratings & Requirements for more details).
· Turn outs are in designated turn out rings.
· All breakages must be reported and replaced. Be responsible for all costs for repairs.
· Rings for riding lessons or training are reserved during lesson/training times.
· Gates are to be left in a hooked closed position (for safety and to prevent wind damage) and are not to be climbed on.
· Wash racks are to be left clean with drain working.
· Feeds that are spoiled must be dumped into trash can (where a horse cannot get into it) not washed down drains.
· Feed rooms must be always left latched closed when unattended.
· No riding double.
· Use of SCR/SCRAF equipment is specifically arranged for and signed out…
· Hay barns are for hay storage. They are not structured for holding weight only for holding up a tarp….Beware that visitors are careful not to swing on the structures and never allow anyone to handle the hay hooks….Feeders must be sure to replace hooks in the hanging position if they are not in hand.
· Horses must be tied to designated tie posts or crossties only (DO NOT tie to Pipe corrals, Benches, Fence boards, etc.)
· Visiting Horses (attending a lesson or clinic) must be current on all vaccinations, de-wormings & in good health. Regardless, No sniffing noses please!
· Keep horses away from the Stallion Barn & Stallion areas! Even though they are friendly gentlemen, other horses could be exciting to them, so please keep your horses away from them.
· Yearlings & Youngsters will bite, they are teething so don’t put yourself in a vulnerable position.
· Do not feed “treats” without permission, we have several “special needs” horses that it could be toxic to them (i.e. HYPP horse = allergic to alfalfa, etc.)
