State of the art Security System in place in the barn that protects our boarders, all of the tack from theft as well as protection of the horses from fire and smoke. Special codes are provided to boarders which gives you 24 hour access for your convenience.
Turnout
FCF offers 8 grass paddocks for our boarding horses.
Horses are turned out in groups no larger of two or three to help control heard type issues and with the intention of keeping “horseplay” to a minimum. FCF tries to keep horses turned out as much as possible to help promote the healthy digestive process of the horse, which has been scientifically proven to increase horse happiness and health with social outdoor societies. In the summer boarders are offered PM turnout to protect the horses from the heat and to keep darker horses as well as competing horses from sun burning and bleaching out of their coats. Horses are not turned out in extreme wet and sloppy conditions at the discretion of the owners of FCF to avoid losing shoes and injuries.
Stalls
FCF offers twelve 12’ x 12’ rubber matted stalls with classic “yoke” door design to promote socialization. Horses are able to stick their heads out to take a treat, or look around at their neighbors, rather than being in a classic closed stall. Two water buckets are hung in each stall which enables FCF to monitor how much the horses drink on a daily basis. Each stall has its own overhead fan for use in the warmer weather as well as fans overhead spanning the length of the barn. Stalls are cleaned daily, and fresh shavings are added to keep the horses in comfort.
Feeding Program
FCF is happy to promote the feeding of Purina and Southern States products depending on your horse‘s individual needs. Horses are fed twice daily.
Among FCF’s 30 rolling acres, FCF is proud to grow, harvest and bale our own Orchard Grass/ Fescue Hay to feed to our boarded horses. Any additional hay that is needed in the winter months is bought and shipped in from local farmers, upholding the utmost quality.
