We have a couple of stalls opening up in September, a 24x7 run in and also an attached in/out stall in our main barn, please text Linsay at 603-793-9919 for details, barn tours etc!

Optimistically fingers crossed scheduling the arena and roundpen skylight replacements over the next couple of weeks! I will let everyone know the exact day/or two the work is happening since it will probably NOT be fun to ride in the arenas with a man walking on the roof ripping the skylights off!! or maybe that is the perfect desensitization clinic!!

Summer Box Fan Update for this year. My farm insurance policy underwent an extensive 10 year review and the underwriters are no longer willing to insure the use of box fans in the barns. I am sorry, I know all of our horses will miss them. All of your fans are stored in the attic above the garage and so anyone who wants to take one home please let me know and we will return them to you next week, Thanks,
Linsay

Hi, we are closing the barn for the day on Saturday, October 15th so that we can host and celebrate Autumn and Dylans wedding at the farm. We are going to be hanging decorations in the cross country field and putting out tables and chairs in the picnic area over the next few days. We are also setting up buffet tables in the hay barn. 50 guests are expected so closing the barn is necessary to allow for parking and to keep humans and horses safe for the day!

Hi, as a reminder, please put jumps, cones, poles away each time after riding so that we can drag the arenas. Thanks.

Hi All, the drought update this week is that Rockingham County is in D2 Severe Drought status so please no wash stall baths until we are out of this level of drought. Bucket/Sponge baths only.

Hi, wanted to post a reminder about stall guards. Barn policy is that we don't use stall guards with doors open because there are electrical wires for the fans and outlets easily within reach when horses have their heads out of their stalls. There is also the risk of horses/people being bitten etc while passing open stalls with guards in the aisles. Thanks for understanding this is a safety issue due to how our barn is configured.

Hi, we are helping Skylar rehome her goat Ginger. She is about 6 years old. She takes some time to warm up to new people, but once she does, she'll follow you around like a puppy. She adores the cows she's with now, she even tries to play with them all the time! She might do best in a home with larger animals like she has now or a group of goats. She's used to being outside all the time, she likes area to run around, graze, and forage in the woods. Ginger needs a new home because the cows she's with will be leaving the farm soon so she needs to be somewhere that she won't be alone. She is free to a good home.

Helping one of our boarders rehome her horse....please message if you are interested...Scotty (Blue Label Scotch) is a 14 year old registered paint and pinto. He is retired English pleasure show horse with some background in western pleasure. Along with his long show career of about 8 years he also spent some time as being part of a drill team. He is excellent on the ground and under saddle. Currently he is dealing with lameness issues where he can still be ridden ba****ck or under saddle at the walk. He would make a perfect horse for a child or a companion animal. He must go to a barn that has at least one horse. He is sweet and affectionate where all he wants is to be brushed and loved.

Hi, wanted to give everyone a heads up that there will be electrical work in the barns this coming week. The light bulbs above the horses stalls are being switched out to LED lighting. Thanks,

Hi, so based on the theory that "everyone knows someone" I am trying a different approach to finding our third person to add to barn staff team. I am offering a Finders Fee reward to the boarder who recommends our new team member! The reward will be deducted from the next months board after that third person starts and continues to work at Riley's. The days we need coverage are Wed, Thur and Sundays. Please text me for more details/questions, Thanks!!

Hi boarders, please do not go into the boiler room to try to turn off the sprinklers yourself. If they are not turned off correctly, the water pump will be burnt out. Please text me directly at 603-793-9919 instead.
