...and:

Expectant Mare--foal watch via a foaling camera in the mare's stall, private turnout paddock before and after foaling, planning an attended foaling to include intervention if necessary (i.e. in case of dystocia), standard post-foaling care including treatment of the foal's umbilical stump with betadine solution, washing the mare, collection of the placenta for the vet's inspection, and an IgG test to check blood antibody levels, imprint training of the foal during the first 24 hours after birth, and the addition of straw bedding during the foaling period and until the umbilical stump falls off (about 2 weeks). (Foaling out is an additional fee of $100.)

Mare with Foal--semi-private turnout paddock, creep feeder for foal, daily handling of foal.

Yearling Basics--learning to lead properly, stand still, have their feet handled & stand for the farrier, load and trailer well, bathe & clip quietly, and remember their manners in public & around other horses at this age will give your young horse the start he or she needs for a long and productive career (regardless of the intended discipline).  Starting your young horse's training correctly provides him or her with the right foundation, making future training that much easier.   We highly recommend this program for young sport horses, yearlings headed for the lunge line classes, or those getting ready to go to a sale.  Well-trained, well-mannered young horses are more likely to remain sound and healthy, and are able to get down to the business of learning when they begin saddle training.  At shows and sales, other people will notice how sensational your yearling looks, not unruly behavior. 

Five Star Hotel--daily individual attention catered to your horse's needs; can include twice a week riding (ring work and/or trail riding), daily grooming, and/or daily exercise via lunging, free-lunging, or hand-walking.  We recommend this service for horse owners whose tight schedules don't allow regular trips to the barn.  It's also convenient during those frigid winter months!
