Here are some tips to help keep your horse safe with the upcoming 4th of July celebrations. Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday weekend!! 🎆🎉

1. Check stalls thoroughly for anything that could cause potential injury such as protruding nails and string.
2. Check that fencing is not broken and that there are no foreign objects lying around.
3. Playing music on a radio positioned outside the stable can often mask sudden noise, distract attention and be soothing.
