Friendly Notes & Add-Ons

• Add-on help: We can handle blanketing, holding for vet/farrier, extra feedings, or stall cleaning—just say the word.
• Health & safety: Owners keep up with vaccinations, deworming, farrier, and any special meds.
• Weather wisdom: During rough weather, we’ll use common-sense care (extra hay, shelter access, blanket as arranged).
• Feed & storage: If you’re supplying feed/supps (self-care/partial), we’ll show you where to store ’em clean and critter-tight.
