Stalls will be bedded, the participant must supply any additional bedding, if they wish. Stalls must be cleaned before leaving. If there is damage through negligence, the participant will be held liable and a damage fee will apply.

Participants may hand graze their horses, but not turn out in the pastures/round pen, arenas, etc. Please clean up any manure while grazing.  

• Any and all messes, manure piles, shedding hair, etc. will need to be cleaned up by clinic participants. We will provide pitch forks, brooms, shovels, etc. and the manure trailer is right next to the barn. Water buckets can be dumped in the wash stall, as long as any hay is removed.
