O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES! 

10. We have a designated smoking area policy on the property. This area is located 25ft from the barn entrance. There is to be no smoking within 25ft of any structure on the premises. Pick up your butts or you’ll be asked not to return.  

11. No persons/guests may not use alcohol or illegal substances while on the premises of the property. If you have come here under the influence of anything you need to leave the stables and come back a different time.  

12. All gates are to be closed and latched at all times. If you see an open gate, please say something.  

13. Bad language and gossip are not tolerated at the stables. Be mindful of the children. Regarding gossip, if you have an issue with someone please go to that person directly. Charlie is not your secret keeper or counselor. 

14. Never ride in the barn, into the barn or out of the barn.    

15. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.

No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission. 

P. BOARDERS  

1. Boarders are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their children, their guests or horses.  

2. Please pick up any manure piles left by your horses in the roadways, barnyards, or other general use areas. There are large tubs designated for manure located inside the barn or just outside. 

3. Only manure and bedding is to be placed in the manure tubs (no trash or bailing twine). 

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.  

6. Please report destructive horse behavior as soon as you notice it. For instance, if you notice a horse chewing bark off trees in the pastures, or chewing the fences, please let us know so that we can protect both horse and property.  

7. Horses that crib must wear a cribbing collar. We prefer the humane “Miracle Collar.” Boards are expensive and horse owners will be held financially responsible for damages. 

8. If you groom your horse in the barn, please be sure to sweep the area afterwards. There is a battery-operated blower available along with a broom and dust pan. 

9. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.

 5. We encourage riders to carry a cell phone, and to not trail ride alone. This also applies to training or working in the arena when no other persons are present. It is best if someone back at the barn knows when to expect you, your group and horses to return as well. You can leave this information on the dry erase board in the barn. We also encourage you to download and use the “Equilab” app and designate the barn number or a responsible person as the emergency contact.

 “Our goal is for you to have an excellent equine experience. Your safety and satisfaction are our first priority. Thank you for your business.”  

S. ARENA/ROUND PEN 

 Aside from boarding, Old Wire Stables is an equestrian training and lesson facility. The arena and round pen are available for all boarders to use however, horse training and riding lessons take precedence. For the safety of the trainers and students, no rider shall enter the arena or round pen when trainers or instructors are present with students/horses without first clearing their entry with an Old Wire Stables trainer or instructor. Any activity deemed to be negative, dangerous or disruptive to the training or instructional efforts of the trainers/instructors or students will cease immediately.  

T. DEATH CLAUSE 

In the event of Horse Owner's death, Old Wire Stables requests to know what is to become of the horse. Do you have next of kin who is financially able and willing to take on your horse and respective responsibilities? Do you have a trust set up for continuity of care for the duration of the horse’s life? Do you have a living Will that includes your horse? Would you prefer to relinquish custody of the horse to Old Wire Stables and allow for OWS to maintain custody and care or re-home the horse to a loving and secure home? Please take some time to consider the above and leave detailed information as to how Old Wire Stables is to proceed in regard to the care of your horse in the event of your death or long-term incapacitation.

O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES! 

10. We have a designated smoking area policy on the property. This area is located 25ft from the barn entrance. There is to be no smoking within 25ft of any structure on the premises. Pick up your butts or you’ll be asked not to return.  

11. No persons/guests may not use alcohol or illegal substances while on the premises of the property. If you have come here under the influence of anything you need to leave the stables and come back a different time.  

12. All gates are to be closed and latched at all times. If you see an open gate, please say something.  

13. Bad language and gossip are not tolerated at the stables. Be mindful of the children. Regarding gossip, if you have an issue with someone please go to that person directly. Charlie is not your secret keeper or counselor. 

14. Never ride in the barn, into the barn or out of the barn.    

15. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.

P. BOARDERS  

1. Boarders are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their children, their guests or horses.  

2. Please pick up any manure piles left by your horses in the roadways, barnyards, or other general use areas. There are large tubs designated for manure located inside the barn or just outside. 

3. Only manure and bedding is to be placed in the manure tubs (no trash or bailing twine). 

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.  

6. Please report destructive horse behavior as soon as you notice it. For instance, if you notice a horse chewing bark off trees in the pastures, or chewing the fences, please let us know so that we can protect both horse and property.  

7. Horses that crib must wear a cribbing collar. We prefer the humane “Miracle Collar.” Boards are expensive and horse owners will be held financially responsible for damages. 

8. If you groom your horse in the barn, please be sure to sweep the area afterwards. There is a battery-operated blower available along with a broom and dust pan. 

9. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.

 5. We encourage riders to carry a cell phone, and to not trail ride alone. This also applies to training or working in the arena when no other persons are present. It is best if someone back at the barn knows when to expect you, your group and horses to return as well. You can leave this information on the dry erase board in the barn. We also encourage you to download and use the “Equilab” app and designate the barn number or a responsible person as the emergency contact.

S. ARENA/ROUND PEN 

 Aside from boarding, Old Wire Stables is an equestrian training and lesson facility. The arena and round pen are available for all boarders to use however, horse training and riding lessons take precedence. For the safety of the trainers and students, no rider shall enter the arena or round pen when trainers or instructors are present with students/horses without first clearing their entry with an Old Wire Stables trainer or instructor. Any activity deemed to be negative, dangerous or disruptive to the training or instructional efforts of the trainers/instructors or students will cease immediately.  

T. DEATH CLAUSE 

In the event of Horse Owner's death, Old Wire Stables requests to know what is to become of the horse. Do you have next of kin who is financially able and willing to take on your horse and respective responsibilities? Do you have a trust set up for continuity of care for the duration of the horse’s life? Do you have a living Will that includes your horse? Would you prefer to relinquish custody of the horse to Old Wire Stables and allow for OWS to maintain custody and care or re-home the horse to a loving and secure home? Please take some time to consider the above and leave detailed information as to how Old Wire Stables is to proceed in regard to the care of your horse in the event of your death or long-term incapacitation.

O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES! 

10. We have a designated smoking area policy on the property. This area is located 25ft from the barn entrance. There is to be no smoking within 25ft of any structure on the premises. Pick up your butts or you’ll be asked not to return.  

11. No persons/guests may not use alcohol or illegal substances while on the premises of the property. If you have come here under the influence of anything you need to leave the stables and come back a different time.  

12. All gates are to be closed and latched at all times. If you see an open gate, please say something.  

13. Bad language and gossip are not tolerated at the stables. Be mindful of the children. Regarding gossip, if you have an issue with someone please go to that person directly. Charlie is not your secret keeper or counselor. 

14. Never ride in the barn, into the barn or out of the barn.    

15. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.  

16. No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission. 

P. BOARDERS  

1. Boarders are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their children, their guests or horses.  

2. Please pick up any manure piles left by your horses in the roadways, barnyards, or other general use areas. There are large tubs designated for manure located inside the barn or just outside. 

3. Only manure and bedding is to be placed in the manure tubs (no trash or bailing twine). 

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.  

6. Please report destructive horse behavior as soon as you notice it. For instance, if you notice a horse chewing bark off trees in the pastures, or chewing the fences, please let us know so that we can protect both horse and property.  

7. Horses that crib must wear a cribbing collar. We prefer the humane “Miracle Collar.” Boards are expensive and horse owners will be held financially responsible for damages. 

8. If you groom your horse in the barn, please be sure to sweep the area afterwards. There is a battery-operated blower available along with a broom and dust pan. 

9. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.

 5. We encourage riders to carry a cell phone, and to not trail ride alone. This also applies to training or working in the arena when no other persons are present. It is best if someone back at the barn knows when to expect you, your group and horses to return as well. You can leave this information on the dry erase board in the barn. We also encourage you to download and use the “Equilab” app and designate the barn number or a responsible person as the emergency contact.

S. ARENA/ROUND PEN 

 Aside from boarding, Old Wire Stables is an equestrian training and lesson facility. The arena and round pen are available for all boarders to use however, horse training and riding lessons take precedence. For the safety of the trainers and students, no rider shall enter the arena or round pen when trainers or instructors are present with students/horses without first clearing their entry with an Old Wire Stables trainer or instructor. Any activity deemed to be negative, dangerous or disruptive to the training or instructional efforts of the trainers/instructors or students will cease immediately.  

T. DEATH CLAUSE 

In the event of Horse Owner's death, Old Wire Stables requests to know what is to become of the horse. Do you have next of kin who is financially able and willing to take on your horse and respective responsibilities? Do you have a trust set up for continuity of care for the duration of the horse’s life? Do you have a living Will that includes your horse? Would you prefer to relinquish custody of the horse to Old Wire Stables and allow for OWS to maintain custody and care or re-home the horse to a loving and secure home? Please take some time to consider the above and leave detailed information as to how Old Wire Stables is to proceed in regard to the care of your horse in the event of your death or long-term incapacitation.

O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES! 

10. We have a designated smoking area policy on the property. This area is located 25ft from the barn entrance. There is to be no smoking within 25ft of any structure on the premises. Pick up your butts or you’ll be asked not to return.  

11. No persons/guests may not use alcohol or illegal substances while on the premises of the property. If you have come here under the influence of anything you need to leave the stables and come back a different time.  

12. All gates are to be closed and latched at all times. If you see an open gate, please say something.  

13. Bad language and gossip are not tolerated at the stables. Be mindful of the children. Regarding gossip, if you have an issue with someone please go to that person directly. Charlie is not your secret keeper or counselor. 

14. Never ride in the barn, into the barn or out of the barn.    

15. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.  

16. No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission. 

P. BOARDERS  

1. Boarders are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their children, their guests or horses.  

2. Please pick up any manure piles left by your horses in the roadways, barnyards, or other general use areas. There are large tubs designated for manure located inside the barn or just outside. 

3. Only manure and bedding is to be placed in the manure tubs (no trash or bailing twine). 

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.  

6. Please report destructive horse behavior as soon as you notice it. For instance, if you notice a horse chewing bark off trees in the pastures, or chewing the fences, please let us know so that we can protect both horse and property.  

7. Horses that crib must wear a cribbing collar. We prefer the humane “Miracle Collar.” Boards are expensive and horse owners will be held financially responsible for damages. 

8. If you groom your horse in the barn, please be sure to sweep the area afterwards. There is a battery-operated blower available along with a broom and dust pan. 

9. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.  

10. No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission.

 4. All horses and riders should return to the barn before dusk if riding locally on trails.  

 5. We encourage riders to carry a cell phone, and to not trail ride alone. This also applies to training or working in the arena when no other persons are present. It is best if someone back at the barn knows when to expect you, your group and horses to return as well. You can leave this information on the dry erase board in the barn. We also encourage you to download and use the “Equilab” app and designate the barn number or a responsible person as the emergency contact.

 “Our goal is for you to have an excellent equine experience. Your safety and satisfaction are our first priority. Thank you for your business.”  

S. ARENA/ROUND PEN 

 Aside from boarding, Old Wire Stables is an equestrian training and lesson facility. The arena and round pen are available for all boarders to use however, horse training and riding lessons take precedence. For the safety of the trainers and students, no rider shall enter the arena or round pen when trainers or instructors are present with students/horses without first clearing their entry with an Old Wire Stables trainer or instructor. Any activity deemed to be negative, dangerous or disruptive to the training or instructional efforts of the trainers/instructors or students will cease immediately.  

T. DEATH CLAUSE 

In the event of Horse Owner's death, Old Wire Stables requests to know what is to become of the horse. Do you have next of kin who is financially able and willing to take on your horse and respective responsibilities? Do you have a trust set up for continuity of care for the duration of the horse’s life? Do you have a living Will that includes your horse? Would you prefer to relinquish custody of the horse to Old Wire Stables and allow for OWS to maintain custody and care or re-home the horse to a loving and secure home? Please take some time to consider the above and leave detailed information as to how Old Wire Stables is to proceed in regard to the care of your horse in the event of your death or long-term incapacitation.

Boarders are permitted to use another dental provider but must make the barn aware 48-hours in advance and make arrangements to be present or pay staff to manage the care of the horse.

Supplements: 

OWS is a Smartpak barn. What this means is we do not permit supplements unless Smartpak does not offer a particular product. We do have a promo code that will get your 50% off your first order should you need Smartpak. With so many horses in our charge, we can’t allow supplements to pile up in the feed room. Smartpak keeps our barn feeding operations simple and precise.

O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES! 

10. We have a designated smoking area policy on the property. This area is located 25ft from the barn entrance. There is to be no smoking within 25ft of any structure on the premises. Pick up your butts or you’ll be asked not to return.  

11. No persons/guests may not use alcohol or illegal substances while on the premises of the property. If you have come here under the influence of anything you need to leave the stables and come back a different time.  

12. All gates are to be closed and latched at all times. If you see an open gate, please say something.  

13. Bad language and gossip are not tolerated at the stables. Be mindful of the children. Regarding gossip, if you have an issue with someone please go to that person directly. Charlie is not your secret keeper or counselor. 

14. Never ride in the barn, into the barn or out of the barn.    

15. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.  

16. No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission. 

P. BOARDERS  

1. Boarders are responsible for any damage caused by themselves, their children, their guests or horses.  

2. Please pick up any manure piles left by your horses in the roadways, barnyards, or other general use areas. There are large tubs designated for manure located inside the barn or just outside. 

3. Only manure and bedding is to be placed in the manure tubs (no trash or bailing twine). 

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.  

6. Please report destructive horse behavior as soon as you notice it. For instance, if you notice a horse chewing bark off trees in the pastures, or chewing the fences, please let us know so that we can protect both horse and property.  

7. Horses that crib must wear a cribbing collar. We prefer the humane “Miracle Collar.” Boards are expensive and horse owners will be held financially responsible for damages. 

8. If you groom your horse in the barn, please be sure to sweep the area afterwards. There is a battery-operated blower available along with a broom and dust pan. 

9. There is to be no use of social media or other means to disparage, disgrace, rebuke, tarnish, damage, slander or libel neither personally or professionally the stables, barn, barn owner, family members, other borders or guests of Old Wire Stables or Old Wire Holdings, LLC.  

10. No one shall post unsolicited photographs of the barn, property, owners, boarders, guests or others without the express permission of property owner or aforementioned persons. This is a private facility and without permission, no photographs or videos will be distributed via social media or otherwise without express permission. 

Q. RIDING  

 1. Maximum pace is a walk around the barn and other structures.  

 2. Do not ride horses in the yard or within 50 ft of the residence or other structures.  

 3. Do not ride through the pasture, paddocks or other non-designated areas. 

 4. All horses and riders should return to the barn before dusk if riding locally on trails.  

 5. We encourage riders to carry a cell phone, and to not trail ride alone. This also applies to training or working in the arena when no other persons are present. It is best if someone back at the barn knows when to expect you, your group and horses to return as well. You can leave this information on the dry erase board in the barn. We also encourage you to download and use the “Equilab” app and designate the barn number or a responsible person as the emergency contact.  

R. BARN

1. No alterations may be made to the barn, stalls or property. This includes signs, hooks, racks, pictures, etc.  

2. Please keep the inside and outside of your stalls neat and tidy as well as the isle way.  

3. Barn hours are 8:30 AM until 6:30 PM.  The barn is closed at 6:30 pm 

 “Our goal is for you to have an excellent equine experience. Your safety and satisfaction are our first priority. Thank you for your business.”  

S. ARENA/ROUND PEN 

 Aside from boarding, Old Wire Stables is an equestrian training and lesson facility. The arena and round pen are available for all boarders to use however, horse training and riding lessons take precedence. For the safety of the trainers and students, no rider shall enter the arena or round pen when trainers or instructors are present with students/horses without first clearing their entry with an Old Wire Stables trainer or instructor. Any activity deemed to be negative, dangerous or disruptive to the training or instructional efforts of the trainers/instructors or students will cease immediately.  

T. DEATH CLAUSE 

In the event of Horse Owner's death, Old Wire Stables requests to know what is to become of the horse. Do you have next of kin who is financially able and willing to take on your horse and respective responsibilities? Do you have a trust set up for continuity of care for the duration of the horse’s life? Do you have a living Will that includes your horse? Would you prefer to relinquish custody of the horse to Old Wire Stables and allow for OWS to maintain custody and care or re-home the horse to a loving and secure home? Please take some time to consider the above and leave detailed information as to how Old Wire Stables is to proceed in regard to the care of your horse in the event of your death or long-term incapacitation.  

U. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

Staff can be made available for assistance but only subject to availability and the barn may only be utilized for said services with prior authorization. Old Wire Stables provides daily instruction and training to clients and the barn cannot be obstructed or shut down for outside veterinary services without prior advanced notification and only if feasible as to not interrupt daily operations.  

OWS schedules annual and biannual veterinary services in January and again in June. If a boarder chooses to go outside of our scheduled dates, they are responsible for all related fees. When we schedule annual and biannual services, the barn call fee is split amongst the group.

Boarders are permitted to use another dental provider but must make the barn aware 48-hours in advance and make arrangements to be present or pay staff to manage the care of the horse.   

Medical / Wound Care: 

Old Wire Stables can provide basic first aid care to injured or ill horses. However, we only do so under the direction of a Veterinarian and at our skill level. We can administer banamine or other drugs under the direction of the Veterinarian and upon Horse Owner granting permission. We do have protocols in place for injuries and illness should they occur to horses. Owners will be notified immediately as will the Veterinarian.

We are NOT certified veterinary technicians or veterinarians. However, through years of training and experience we can provide basic first aid and care at our level and under direction of the Veterinarian.

Supplements: 

OWS is a Smartpak barn. What this means is we do not permit supplements unless Smartpak does not offer a particular product. We do have a promo code that will get your 50% off your first order should you need Smartpak. With so many horses in our charge, we can’t allow supplements to pile up in the feed room. Smartpak keeps our barn feeding operations simple and precise.

O. BARN RULES

1. All riders must wear an ASTM F-1163-01/SEI certified riding helmet, properly fitted and secured while mounted unless they have signed a Release of Liability form. ANYONE UNDER 18 YEARS OF AGE WILL WEAR A HELMET, NO EXCEPTIONS!  

2. Riders should be dressed appropriately for safe riding. This includes all riders, boarders, lesson students and guests. Long pants and heeled riding boots are necessary for safety. A rider may not mount on this property if they do not have safe footwear.  

3. Riding guests must sign a waiver form upon arrival at the Stable. If the guest rider is a minor, that child’s parent or legal guardian must sign the liability acknowledgement and waiver form.  

4. Children under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or other responsible adult at all times. Children may not be “dropped off” at the barn, as we are not equipped to supervise children while we are working. An adult must be present and accountable for each student and rider.  

5. Please look after small children, as the barn can be a dangerous place. Encourage kids to behave calmly around horses. Running in the barn yard, screaming, and throwing objects is not permitted around the horses. If a horse should become suddenly frightened it could easily injure itself, the rider, or anyone else in the arena.  

6. Never tie a horse to the fence boards, gates posts or stall bars. Tie horses to designated hitching posts and cross tie rings. “Remember the ‘Five P’s: Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance.’” Plan ahead to prevent spooky situations for your horse. A horse can easily pull back and break an oak board or bend a gate off the hinges during a dangerous flight response. The aluminum bars on the stalls are valued at $2,000.00. If any person violates this rule and causes damage, they will be financially responsible for any damages.  

7. Horses may be led by a lead road clipped to a fastened halter only. No loose ropes about the neck, or unfastened halters. Horses may never run freely through the barnyard to their stalls. In all open and general use areas, the horse must be under your direct control. 

8. Please be certain to pick up your trash, your children’s trash or any other trash you see lying around. Let’s keep our stables a beautiful place.  

9. We love dogs! However, we have a “No Non-Stable Dog” policy on the premise of our stables. DO NOT BRING YOUR UNAUTHORIZED ANIMALS ON THE PREMISES!

4. If you are the last to leave the barn at any time of the day, it is your responsibility to close the barn doors, turn off all the lights and close the tack room and feed room doors. Make sure the cat is not in the tack room prior to closing the door.  

5. In cold weather, the hoses must be drained after use. If you are not sure how to drain the hose, please ask for a demonstration. A small amount of effort on your part can save a huge burden if the hoses don’t have to be thawed in freezing temperatures.
