 
The 6 stall, 36x60 foot barn, built in 2006, is a pre-engineered steel structure designed to withstand 121 mile per hour winds. It is designed with the comfort of the horse and convenience of the rider in mind. The barn has 10 foot high eaves, a 4:12 roof pitch, roof and exterior stall wall insulation and two ridge vents for maximum ventilation and cooling effect during the hot and humid South Carolina summer. The 12x12 foot stalls have 2x6 lumber to four feet and 3/4 inch steel bar grills, 3 inches on center for fronts and stall partitions. Each stall has a ceiling fan and light, and is deeply bedded in pine shavings, cleaned daily. A water faucet and electrical outlet are outside each stall in the twelve foot wide concrete aisleway. Each stall opens not only into the center aisle but also has a dutch door opening into a semi-private grass paddock.
Horses are fed twice daily and may either be turned out in a large pasture daily or have free access to the paddock contiguous to their stalls. They are fed Nutreena Safe Choice Feed (a low starch pellet high in fat and fiber). Hay is an orchardgrass/fescue mix. Alfalfa hay also is available at cost. Supplements, provided by the owner, are fed without additonal charge. Horses are blanketed in the winter and fly spray and masks are applied as needed. Sweaty horses are hosed off prior to evening feed as needed in the summer.
All boarders have the use of a separate boarders' tack room with a refrigerator, saddle and bridle racks and storage area. There are toilet facilities and a wash rack. On a space available basis, two stalls may be converted into a 12x24 foot mare and foal stall.
Stall board is $400/month. |
