We allow clients to provide addition grain which can be fed along side the grain we receive from Hallway feeds. Meals must be pre-packaged with any dry supplements (excl. Smartpaks) required.
What is your deworming protocol?
We collect fecal samples 2x/year (spring and fall) to be tested and the fecal test will be billed directly to the owner from the vet. If your horse is considered a "high shedder", you will be asked to deworm your horse. Zero and low shedders will not be required to worm.
