\u2764\ufe0f Care & safety facts about our herd. Did you know?<\/h4>\n

The safety and enjoyment of our guests as well as the care and well-being of our animals are our 1st priority!<\/strong><\/p>\n

An adult horse needs to consume approximately 2% of their body weight each day (roughly 25-60 pounds per day per horse for the horses in our herd).<\/p>\n

Our horses’ high-quality grain is specially formulated just for the needs of our herd at a farm and facility in Kentucky and brought in regularly as well as their high quality hay from the Midwest. We feed two types of hay here at our facility: one is a high protein western alfalfa and the other is from a local hay farm that grows just for our animals.<\/p>\n
