✨ The more you know ✨

Remember when your parents used to tell you to wait 30 minutes after eating before going for a swim? Unlike us, horses can actually benefit from eating forage before they exercise, as it may help reduce the risk of gastric ulcers.

While a variety of things can contribute to the development of stomach ulcers (medications, diet, stress, etc.), one train of thought is that these areas of irritation result as a consequence of the acid of the stomach splashing against unprotected parts of the stomach lining. When a horse eats forage, the hay can help absorb some of that acid and thus reduce the risk of ulcer formation.

It is important to note that a forage meal (one comprised of hay or grass) provides the most benefit, while eating large volumes of concentrate feeds (such as oats, corn, or other cereal grains) can actually increase the amount of acid within the stomach.

As always, please be sure to consult with your vet regarding further diagnostics and treatments if you have concerns that your horse may have gastric ulcers.

Does he look familiar to you? 🤔

That’s right!

Of course the one and only Chocolate was our inspiration for the official logo!

Our family’s heart horse will be turning 23 this year. The owners of Glen Ivey Farm purchased him long before they were farm owners! (When he was just 6)

Chocolate fueled the fire to our love for horses, and horse caretaking ❤️

Welcome to Glen Ivey Farm,
A small family owned equestrian facility located in Chesterfield Virginia. Glen Ivey is surrounded by beautiful trees, and placed within 13 acres of rolling hills.

Glen Ivey Farm offers full board as well as working boarder opportunities. The barn is located onsite with the owner’s home, therefore, we are able to provide vigilant care for our horse family.

Our four spacious pastures come with heated automatic waterers, run-ins, and round bale huts. We also have a small recovery pasture available for individual or limited turnout when needed.

The Barn's stalls are 12x12 with mats, fans, two water buckets, an aisle window, and an outside window. There is a wash stall with hot and cold water access. The barn includes a tack room, kitchen/feed room, washer/dryer, and outdoor shower. The farm has a large outdoor arena with lights, and new footing!

Glen Ivey Farm LLC established in 2023.
