Helmet Awareness

Action Point: Ensure that there is helmet awareness around the farm, and that everyone is using it.

Rationale: It is important that not only our horses are safe on the property, but also our riders. Demonstrating proper helmet wear, safety and necessity will decrease the chances of riders getting hurt on our property. There are a number of reasons for why riders should be wearing helmets, and Ill make sure that there is a sign put up where we keep the helmets so that everyone can see why.

Colic Information

Action Point: Understanding the causes, signs, and symptoms of colic is extremely important especially in the spring, and fall.

Rationale: We have a mare on the farm who colics a lot for small reasons, and sometimes it comes out of nowhere. When there are boarders or workers here, it is important that they know the tips and tricks of how to handle the situation, be calm about it and know who to call.
