"Barn and Horse"
When you’re in charge of building a stable for your horses, you need to make sure you are using the right materials for the flooring.
When taking care of your pet, cattle, or any animal, we need to be extra careful and mindful of their health and comfort. Taking care of small animals is relatively easy and cheap. But it can cost a lot when we are raising and taking care of animals such as a horse. To cut down the costs, we should take good care of our horse’s wellbeing so that we don’t have to spend extra treating it.
Taking up an eco-friendly mindset concerning your lifestyle choices, or your daily consumption of food and other goods has become more relevant in the last few decades. Many industries have, as a result, recognized and reacted to the increasingly vital need to live as sustainably as possible. If you are among the people who understand […]
For anyone who loves horses, owning a horse property is likely a lifelong dream. For them, the ability to walk out the door and go riding whenever they want, or the chance to spend time at the barn without driving there beats a day at the beach every time. Then there are the horse enthusiasts who crave a live-work arrangement, where they can turn their passion into a viable business with no commute.
The good news is there are thousands of horse properties for sale across the United States. Ranging in size from one acre to hundreds of acres and ranging in price from a few thousand dollars to millions of dollars, each one offers a world of possibilities. The bad news, especially for the uninitiated, is that buying one could potentially cause a world of headaches.
Many people love horses but don’t have enough land on their property to build a stable from scratch. Because of this, you might think that their dream of owning a horse can never become a reality. Nothing could be further from the truth – as long as they have an empty garage.
The garage is actually an extremely versatile place that can be used for more things than you can imagine – including being converted into a stable. We hope that after reading this article, you will know how to do it in your own garage – especially since, in reality, it’s not as hard as it might seem.
Purchasing a new horse comes with a cost – a cost that both you and your new horse will have to pay. If done right, you both will be paying the price for the better. And if not, you both will have to put through unnecessarily toAssessing fairly, the situation is naturally more challenging and stressful for the horse than it is for you. It has no control over this new change in life and has to put up with whatever you provide him. Hence, it is your moral, ethical, and legal responsibility to assist your horse in adjusting to a new barn house.
When you own a horse farm, dust is simply a reality. Horse owners know all too well that dust can get just about everywhere. Whether you’re in the arena, the barn, the trailer, or the stall, your horses are bound to “kick up a little dust”.
In most cases, it’s not a huge problem. If your barn is far away from your home, for example, you might not care about a dusty environment.
But, dust becomes a bigger issue if your barn or arena is close to where you live. Or, if you’re tired of dust getting into your car, your clothes, and just about everything else.
So, what can you do as a horse owner to combat dust on your property? Thankfully, there are steps you can take to manage it. It’s more than just a “cosmetic” problem. Getting rid of excess dust can benefit your horse’s health, as well as your own. With that in mind, let’s look at some manageable solutions for controlling dust on horse properties.
Looking at that old horse barn, it slowly starts becoming obvious that it has seen better days. Time flies by, the wear and tear start to show, and the years of heavy rain, snow, and baking summers don’t forget to leave their mark. But now, while the construction still bravely defies gravity, it’s time to set it to rights. Be it for a cosmetic update or radical renovation – we’ve rounded up some tips for restoring an old horse barn that will help you give its four-hoofed lodgers a proper home.
As a horse property owner, don’t you find it funny when people complain about how difficult it is to manage their homes? Sure, deciding on the lighting, furniture, and wall colors can be challenging. However, once you compare it to maintaining a horse farm, it’s child’s play!
Do you remember when Michael Scott said that New York is like Scranton on speed? Well, you can say the same thing about horse properties and family homes. Not only do you have to deal with a much larger amount of land, but you also have horses to take care of.
According to some stats, one in every ten horses develops laminitis signs every year. This may look as common as colic but ends up in something major, when left untreated for a long time.
But researchers say that if the horse owner pays detailed attention to the horse’s changing behavior, there are chances of saving […]
Not every property you find is a ready-to-move-in horse property. Sometimes you get wide open, fenced in spaces with a nice house, and not much else. Sometimes you may get a dilapidated barn that requires some work in order to become your dream horse farm. Whatever situation you are looking at right now, here are some construction hacks to make building your horse stable from scratch as easy as dropping “horse apples.”
