4. What is your feeding program and how much will my horse get fed?
| Horses at T Bar T are fed grain in the morning (7-8 a.m.) and again in the afternoon (4-5 pm). Grain amounts are based on each individual horse’s needs. While horses are in, they get hay 3 times a day, when horses are out they have round bales in each turn out pasture. |
| Each horse has his/her own container that their grain in put into along with any supplements. |
| Please indicate what grain your horse should be fed and any supplements on a "Feed for your horse" sheet. Also, use this sheet for any future changes. |

5. What if I think my horse is too fat or too skinny?
| Let Tami know immediately. We will work with your horse to help them loose weight or gain weight if you tell us. Please keep a close watch on your horse’s weight and let Tami know if you want to work on your horse’s weight. We can add oil and/or rice bran to add fat to a horse’s diet to help him/her gain weight, etc. |
6. What type of hay is given to the horses?
| T Bar T provides quality coastal hay. Currently our hay is provided by a ranch that irrigates and fertilizes. They have provided us with 3 different analysis of their hay and the protein content is 12-14%. Barn and paddock horses get hay in their stalls morning and night, pasture horses get round bales or square bales put in the round bale ring (if round bales aren't available or we can't get them out because of too much rain). |
7. Can I give my horse alfalfa hay?
| Yes, if you buy it and bring it and keep it in a bag, we will give alfalfa to your horse. |
8. What about giving my horse supplements?
| We can add your supplements, oils, electrolytes, vitamins, etc. if you provide these items (for stalled and paddock boarded horses only). If you only have 1 supplement, we can add it to your horse’s grain, but if there is more than 1 supplement, you will need to provide it pre-mixed and measured in individual servings. Please specify what supplements you will be providing and how you would like them added to your horse’s diet. |

| A Feed Request Form must be filled out and submitted at least 2 days before departure. We will provide your grain and hay for up to 1 week. |
10. How often are the stalls and water buckets cleaned?
| We clean the stalls every day and since we and our staff live on site, we are always here to take care of your horse. We provide shavings for all stalled horses. We clean water buckets a minimum of 2-3 times per week (more if needed). |
11. How often is my horse turned out?
| We turn horses out every day and night weather permitting. Our goal is to turn the horse out as much as possible. If it is freezing, raining, muddy, or too hot, then the horses stay in. |
12. Do you provide worming?
| Yes, we can worm your horse for a $10 fee to cover the cost of the paste. Every horse at the barn must be wormed every 8 weeks. No exceptions. See our worming schedule. |
13. Can I use my own farrier/vet?
| Yes, you may use your own farrier/vet. |
14. I am new to the area, can you recommend a farrier and a vet?

19. Do your arenas have lights?
| Yes, both the covered and outdoor arena have lights and so does one of the round pens. |
20. Can I ride my horse around on the grounds?
| Riding outside the arenas is allowed during dry weather only – NO EXCEPTIONS. Do not ride in the lawn areas surrounding the barns when the ground is wet as this leaves large hole in the grounds. DO NOT RIDE between the outside of the stalls of the big barn (west side) and the neighbor’s fence as the wash stalls drain there. Do not ride near any of the houses (with the exception of riding on the road) because there are septic tanks and lateral lines. You can ride in the paddocks when no horses are turned out. |
21. Do you have a restroom?
| Yes, we have a restroom in the small barn and a breakroom with a refrigerator and microwave. In the big barn we also have a refrigerator and microwave. |
22. Can I bring my family and friends?
| Visitors to welcome to come to the barn when accompanied by a boarder. If a visitor is going to come check on your horse without you, please let Tami know in advance. If someone is going to ride your horse, they need to sign a waiver FIRST. If another boarder is going to ride your horse without you being present, then you need to fill out and turn into the office a permission form first. This is considered private property. |
| Special arrangements may also be made if you need to come on the property before or after hours – please contact Tami. |
23. Can I bring my dog?
| Dogs are allowed on the premises under supervision of the owner at ALL times and on a leash. You are responsible for picking up all your pet droppings. Pets are not allowed in the round pen or arenas. If there is a problem, you will not be allowed to bring your pet. If your dog runs around and you are not keeping an eye on them, you will be asked to not bring your dog back. |
24. Why do you require a signed boarding agreement and other paperwork?
| The boarding agreement is for the safety of you and your horse as well as providing a clear understanding of the policies at T Bar T. The boarding agreement also give us permission to obtain emergency care for your horse in your absence. Please read through all the paperwork prior to signing. |
25. Why do you have a rules and regulations document?
| So that everyone is on the same page. Where I used to board my horse, they made up rules as they went along so you never knew what your were going to get in trouble for. The rules give you a clear understanding of what to do and what not to do while on the property. Really, this should sum it up, … If you open it, close it. If you turn it on, turn it off. If you unlock it, lock it. If you break it, repair it. If you can’t fix it, call someone who can. If it belongs to someone else and you want to use it, get permission. If you borrow it, return it. If you use it, take care of it. If you make a mess, clean it up. If you move it, put it back. If it doesn’t concern you, mind your own business. |
