The alley way, which is
called "The Green Mile" will give you and your horse
exercise.
Many of our boarders cut across Pasture A - Hilltop instead of going down
the alley way
to get their horse.
In some cases, some of our
boarders' horse(s) will come to them when called, which
could start a stampede - it's fun to watch!!!!
When one comes to the barn, the
herd may follow. If you bring your horse up through
the alley way and the herd decides to come up, let your horse loose and let them fly
by.
| Sitter Downs has 7 different
pastures. Through the spring, summer and fall, the horses are brought up each day 4 to 6
hours. They are rotated to another pasture, 10 days to 2 weeks; depends on the
pasture/weather. The pastures are then mowed and dragged. Some of the pastures are hayed (H&P) and then used for fall pasture. The herd is then brought up during the winter and put on a 10 acre dry lot. |
