Stable Rules
A. Stable Hours of Operation:
1. The Stable shall be open to Boarders, 7 days a week, from 8:00am to 8:00pm. As the Stable grows it may choose one day during the week to be closed to visitors.
2. There will be no visitors before or after the designated hours as to allow Owners the necessary time it takes everyday to feed and care for the horses.
B. Visitors:
1. An adult shall accompany any visitors under the age of 18, unless prior arrangements have been made. Anyone under the age of 18 may not enter the Property or Stable without specific permission from Robert or Kendra Messer.
2. Please notify Owners if you would like to bring a large group of people to visit your horse. ANYONE who will be riding a horse must have a signed release form on record, even if they are riding a boarders horse. NO exceptions.
3. Young children visiting need to be watched very closely and will need to follow all barn rules such as no running or yelling in barn, no entering pastures or stalls. Children must be under an adults control at all times or they will be asked to leave immediately. If this becomes a reoccurring problem the Stable will ask that the specific child involved not return to the property.
4. No visitors or boarders shall be allowed in the hayloft at any time.
5. Due to the high risk of injuries on trampolines and playground equipment we ask that anyone visiting the barn with young children do not allow children on these items while at the Stable.
6. No visitors shall be allowed to enter the pastures at any time unless accompanied by the Owner. If a boarder would like to show someone the horses it should be from outside the pasture or they may remove their own horse from the pasture and visit outside of the pasture area. This also applies to the horse stalls, when occupied; there shall be no visitors inside.
7. If a Boarder is riding in the ring or on the trail they are not to leave any children unattended at the Stable. This means that if you are riding in the ring or nearby that you may not leave young children unattended nearby to watch you ride.
8. No Visitors or Boarders may bring their dogs to the stable. Please do not bring them and leave them in your vehicle either. It is a distraction to the horses and to other riders. It also causes chaos and conflict with the dogs that live here at the stable.
C. Stable Safety Rules:
1. All Stable safety rules are put into place to protect and keep everyone safe while here. Please follow all safety rules outline here or in the barn.
2. Please do not ride your horses into the center aisle. All riders must dismount outside of the barn.
3. If Stable Safety rules are not followed you may be asked to leave the Stable.
4. There will be no running or loud screaming/yelling in the barn or around the horses.
5. If a horse gets loose please alert all others nearby and get any children out of harm’s way, such as putting them inside of the tack room or inside of an empty stall.
6. Anyone riding or mounting a horse shall wear a helmet at all times. No exceptions. It is the suggestion and recommendation of the Stable that ALL riders wear heeled boots and any other protective gear deemed appropriate.
7. Boarders shall keep the barn as neat and clean as possible, returning tack, rakes, tools etc. to their appropriate places. No items shall be left in the center isle or inside of stalls after use, where they can become a hazard to others using the facility.
D. Miscellaneous Rules:
1. Please do not stand on the fence rails or allow children to stand on the rails.
2. Boarders are to use their own supplies, unless otherwise agreed upon. The stable shall not supply items such as brushes, bug sprays, polishes, saddle pads, first aid, etc. At this time we do not lock our supplies up, please help us keep it this way!
3. If you are scheduled to work at the barn, doing chores, cleaning paddocks etc… please do not bring young children with you. The barn is not a place for children to be playing unattended and it distracts you from your work. If you have minors with you that are working please know that it will be your responsibility as the adult to make sure that the minor is at work and not “watching” or just hanging out. WMS reserves the right to dismiss anyone working if WMS feels that the work being done is not sufficient or done in a timely manner.
4. When working at WMS please do your best to honor the dates you set to work. It is extremely hard to change our schedule at the last minute and often times when you are scheduled to work it is because there are other obligations we have made. Consecutive last minute cancellations will be grounds for termination of work days offered.
5. When trail riding on Messer Family land you must stay on designated trails and you must stay in designated sections of the fields. Please remember that the fields are being fertilized for hay and that only certain areas of the field will be available for riding.
6. The ring may be used by boarders any time that lessons are not taking place. Please check with Kendra for the lesson schedule to find out available times. Lessons will take precedence over all other ring use.
7. If you remove your horse from a field or paddock please return them to the same place when finished. Do not place your horse in a different area. If you have an emergency or cannot get your horse to their designated area then please put them in their stall. Horses are separated into groups that WMS finds appropriate and mixing the groups could be dangerous to the handler or to the horse.
8. All boarders that are having a professional visit the barn, such as a farrier, vet, chiropractor or any other scheduled visit for their horse, must let WMS know in advance to the visit. You must also remain on the premises while the visit is taking place. Do not leave until the visit is complete and everyone has left the property.
