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.
Sometimes, the horses think that
they are in the Kentucky Derby when coming to the barn. 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.
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.
| 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 every 2 to 3 weeks. 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. |
