| Welcome to our farm! Please click on photos for a larger view. Scroll down the page for photos and information. |
| Our facilities are designed with safety in mind first and foremost. |
| For our visiting mares, we provide private paddocks with run-in sheds. Sheds are able to be converted into box stalls if needed. Individual sheds are 12' X 12' with drop down feed windows, and able to accommodate large horse mares. Shade trees are protected by smooth horse wire mesh. All hardware used is "horse safe" and paddocks are routinely checked for sharp edges or protrusions. We also have a 9 stall barn available with a wash area for owners who prefer stalls with daily turnout. |
| Mares that are pasture mates before visiting our farm are welcome to stay together in one of our larger paddocks with a double shed. Double sheds are 12' X 24' with a center divider. |
| Paddocks are fenced with no climb, woven, horse wire mesh, with a strand of hot wire at the top to discourage leaning. Fencing starts close to the ground to keep foals in and critters out. |
| Our mare paddocks have the benefit of being located near the stallion yards and arena which allows them to get to know the stallions and keeps their mind on the whole objective- getting in foal! |
| We feed twice a day and both the owner and manager live on site. Mares are provided with quality 10 % or 16% feed (yes, you may provide your own), and ample top quality timothy/orchardgrass hay. We are able to accommodate special requests and owner provided supplements as well. Paddocks are mucked out several times a week and all run-ins, hay racks, and buckets are disinfected after each mares departure. |
| Our breeding area is fully enclosed and fenced and we have a safe holding pen for foals which is visible and nearby to the mare. We also have strong, well designed standing stocks for veterinary procedures and artificial insemination. |
| Here at Blue Ridge Welsh, our goal is to provide you and your mare with a pleasant and stress free breeding experience. Please contact us for more information on any of our beautiful Welsh Pony Stallions. |
