At Valley View Stables, LLC Shawn and Jennifer Donnelly believe in treating
each individual animal as what they are, an individual. To that end, we offer a customized feeding program. Ultimately, you decide what and how much your horse will eat, and we are more than willing to help you to establish a feed program that will benefit your horse's needs. On our grounds we also have a large capacity hay barn where we keep a supply of good quality hay on hand for feeding the animals in our care.
Horses are fed Monday thru Friday by 6 am with turnout at 6 am. Saturday and Sunday horses are fed by 8 am with turnout at 8 am. All horses on stall board are brought in and fed by 6 pm.
Stalls at Valley View Stables, LLC are cleaned daily. We use pellets for bedding and the bedding is stripped as needed. Water buckets in stalls are scrubbed daily and the aisles in all barns are swept down after daily maintenance.
We believe in the buddy system for turnout - there are a maximum of 3 horses turned out together. Private turnout is available on a limited basis. During the summer months, horses are turned out to pasture with extended turnout hours so the horses can be out in their natural environment as long as possible. There are water tanks located in each pasture which are monitored daily for water levels. The rest of the year the horses are turned out on dry lots with automatic waterers.
Horses in our care are required to have the following vaccinations before they can be brought into our facility: Coggins, Strangles, Eastern/Western Tetanus, Flu Rhino, Rabies/Potomac and West Nile. Boarders need to keep their horses vaccinations current and we work with a local veteranarian who can be used for this. We also require that horses at our facility are wormed every 6-8 weeks.
