BARN RULES FOR BOARDERS AND COMMUNITY OF LAUGHING BUCK FARM

• Any concern, question, request or complaint should be directed to the barn manager.
  
  
  
• NO smoking allowed in or near the barn or hay storage at any time.
  
  
  
• Please drive slowly.
  
  
  
• All riders and guests must sign a liability release before handling or riding any horse. It is a boarder's responsibility to ensure that all his/her guests have completely filled out and signed a release.
  
  
  
• Riders for lessons and classes MUST wear a helmet at all times.
  
  
  

• Each person is responsible for cleaning up after themselves and their horses. Clean up manure immediately. Do not wait until after you ride. Please clean up after your farrier.
  
  
  
• Tie only to tie rails (near the posts), crossties, or inside paddocks or stalls.
  
  
  
• No riding in barn aisles.

• Boarders, please use only your own equipment, and keep it your area. Please do not borrow something that isn't yours.
  
  
  
• If a lesson is taking place in the arena, it is off limits for additional horses and riders.
  
  
  
• Clear the arena completely of equipment (poles, barrels, cones, etc.) after each use. No exceptions.
  
  
  
• Wash horses in the designated areas and do not create muddy areas near the spigots. Keep a bucket under the spigot to catch runoff.
  
  
  
• Please take reasonable care with your horse on farm property. Try not to tear up the footing.
  
  
  
• We reserve the right to charge for any damages your horse might cause to our facilities (stall, barn, fencing, arena, etc). Normal wear and tear is acceptable.
  
  
  
• Please do not yell or run around the horses.
  
  
  
• All gates shall be kept shut at all times, except while passing through. Please do not climb over gates; go through them.
  
  
  
• Please park only on gravel areas. Unless on farm business, please do not drive on the grass.
  
  
  
• Please do not help yourself to hay or bedding without asking stable management first.
  
  
  
• Parents are responsible for all minor children. Don’t leave children unattended or allow children to stand on the rails or gates.
  
  
  
• Do not feed any horse but your own without owner's permission. Do not allow your horse to "sniff noses" with other horses, as this can lead to injuries.
  
  
  
• Dogs must be on a leash at all times.
