I will be going on a trip from Nov. 5-23, 2018. During that time (or slightly before and after it) the following changes will take place:
-No blanketing service offered.  Owners are responsible to put blankets on/off their own horses.
-Graining time maybe shifted to help care givers schedule things easier
-Tequila will be eating with herd during grain time
-As always, please check your horses over often for any injuries or health issues.
