2. Prefer that you own the property where the horse will be kept; however we frequently adopt horses out to people who board.
3. Must provide a letter of recommendation from your veterinarian and one from your farrier if you are now a horse owner. If you do not have a farrier, a letter from another person will suffice.

5. We will visit your facility to see the facility and your animals.
