Full Service Plus Training

Add $125 per month to your base training rate. Prorating allowed in one week blocks, $35 per week.  Full Service includes: holding your horse for the vet or farrier once per month; regular bathing(currying with waterless groomer in winter); purchase and preparation of grain & supplements(owner must bear the cost of the grain and supplements); brushing out of tail & mane once per week; hoof oil application; wound care; regular turnout or ground work with blanket removed; and other miscellaneous day to day management items. I provide hoof oil, shampoo, fly spray & coat spray.  Full service is required if the owner is absentee or cannot make minimum once weekly visits to see to these important basic needs.  Full service is also a super option if you plan to be out of town for a week or more, or have other obligations that will prevent your frequent visitation.  Horses in training plans whose owners fail to make minimum visits to meet the above basic needs of the horse will be automatically billed for these services.
