BuckBranch Farm offers:

Full care
boarding at the BuckBranch Farm is just that – full care. We
take pride in the fact that our equine residents are happy and
healthy, and we strive to create an environment that is peaceful and
enjoyable for you and your horse.
A full-time
barn manager, a full-time facilities manager and a staff of
full-time grooms, all with many years experience, devote their days
to keeping the facilities clean and maintained. The workers
are trained to watch for anything unusual with the horses’ behavior
or appearance, and management is contacted immediately for
observance should anything be noticed. In case of an
emergency, your vet information is on record and will be called
immediately. If you or your vet of choice are not available,
another vet will be contacted.
Your
horse’s stall is marked with a name plate giving the names of both
horse and rider. Also posted on his stall is a feed
information card, stating the kind and quantity of feed your horse
receives for both morning and afternoon feedings. If
supplements are supplied, they will be added to your horse’s feed as
requested. Sheeting and blanketing instructions are also
posted during the winter months.
The barn offers a rotational deworming program. The medication is supplied and administered to the horses at 8-week intervals. The owners are notified prior to treatment, and the charges are added to the boarding invoice.
A complete
turnout schedule is posted on the barn bulletin board. Your
horse will have all-day turnout or half-day rotation, subject to
paddock availability and your horse’s temperament. Mimi’s
Meadow: One large meadow for all-day turnout for the geldings.
Piland Paddocks: Eighteen individual paddocks used for daily
turnout and four paddocks large enough for two horses to graze
comfortably. Casa Corrals: Two reinforced paddocks used
for horses that need to graze alone. BuckBranch West Pastures:
Two pastures across the creek, large enough for several horses to
graze comfortably. These pastures are easily accessible by
Bluebonnet Bridge. BuckBranch Annex: One reinforced
paddock across the road, large enough for two horses to graze
comfortably.
Stalls are
cleaned, water is kept fresh and full, and the arenas are groomed on
a regular basis. Footing is kept in top condition to ensure
the comfort and safety of your horse. Water buckets, both in
stalls and paddocks, are cleaned and bleached weekly. Bed
check is at approximately 9pm in the evening, just to make sure all
is well.
