Cleaning

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

At this time of year when horses are off to the sales and before the yearlings come in we start to clean out all of the barns. Each barn is emptied of horses and power hosed and disinfected. It is then re-painted and once dry fresh bedding will be placed in each box and the horses return before the staff move onto the next barn and start the process again.
