SOMETHING SPECIAL

RELATED CONTENT

Boarders appreciate our little extras. I'm fussy about cleaning stalls and use a granulated clay product to eliminate odors and moisture. Each stall is plumbed for water. A supply of my homemade, nontoxic fly repellent is always available for clients. They also appreciate the intercom between the house and barn. It's locked in the on position so I can monitor horse activity from the house. Another favorite is the lighting over the stalls, which are on a timer giving the horses an hour of light to dine by. It didn't take long to discover the hidden treasure of our business. We have a little extra income, and the enjoyment of two more beautiful horses and two horse lovers-our kind of people.

Deanna Mather Larson uses tubular pasture gates with welded-wire panels, which prevent the horses from putting heads or feet through the fencing. Barbed wire is not acceptable around horses, but electrifying the top wire will discourage over-the-fence biting.
