Question 1

What kind of grain do you feed? How much grain is included?

Accepted Answer

Basic Stall Boarding includes up to 6lbs of grain (12% protein 8 % fat) per day split between
2 feedings.
 
Basic Pasture Boarding includes up to 4lbs of grain fed once daily. 1 feed bag every 6 months is included.

Question 2

What if my horse needs to eat more grain?

Accepted Answer

If you horse needs more grain to maintain his weight, it will cost an extra $12 per lb per month. 
 
For Example: If your horse needs 8lbs per day, it would be an extra $14 a month on top of your monthly board fee.

Question 3

Will you feed supplements?

Accepted Answer

SLS is happy to feed any supplement you purchase for your horse. However, please make
sure your supplement is ready to feed. If you don’t have a SmartPaks, please combine your
daily supplements into a ziplock bag to be fed (preferably a month’s worth at a time).
If you combine supplements into baggies, you must keep the original supplement containers at home.

Question 4

I don't like your grain. Can I supply my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may supply your own grain but there is no discount in price because storage is
limited. You will need to bring enough to last 1 month.

Question 5

What if my horse needs his grain soaked?

Accepted Answer

Not a problem even if your horse is fed in a feed bag. If your horse needs a larger amount of  soaked grain than what will fit in a regular feed bag, we use 3 gallon buckets attached to a halter..

Question 6

I don't think my horse will like a feed bag (head shy, hard to catch, hard to fit, etc.). Can you feed him separately?"

Accepted Answer

We will do almost anything you would like done for an additional cost.
However, please give feed bags a chance. We feel VERY strongly about feeding
pasture horses with feed bags because it ensures every horse gets the feed and supplements it needs with very minimal waste. It cuts down on aggression between heard mates and they are virtually hazard free (No your horse won’t drown if it tries to drink)!
 
Feed bags can also help with head shyness and horses that may be difficult to catch. Most horses learn to love their feed bags very quickly! Feed bags were originally designed for calvary and carriage horses, so many of them are large enough or we can easily add an extension to the strap. They are also very adjustable for smaller horse heads.
