Answer 1

Okay...here goes...

1.  Always be alert and thinking about what you are doing with everybody's safety in mind.

2. "In hand" means under your control either on a halter and lead, or being led by the reins. Once you are in the aisle, your horse should remain in hand, or be secured on crossties.

3.  Hooks on the stall doors are for your halter and lead...don't hang anything else on them.

4.  You can bring glass containers to the stable, but not into any area with a cement floor.

5.  If the barn help has already mucked your horse's stall, and you decide to put the horse in there to tack it up, or groom it, etc., then if the horse pees or poops, you have to clean it up before you leave.

6. A long term tie stall is a place where you are allowed to leave your horse tied while you go about doing other things.  The crossties and tacking stations aren't for that. The aisle crossties and tacking stations are only for you to groom and tack up your horse, then get out of the way so the next person can use it.

7. You are not allowed to turn your horse loose in either arena to let it run around and get exercise.  The arena is only for working your horse.

8.  The box you keep your grooming tools in is not to be placed on the floor of the aisle.  You might want to buy an apron to wear for these tools since your tools could be pretty far away if you can't keep them next to you...they have nice ones with lots of pockets for brushes, combs, medicines, picks, etc.

9.  Put your name on everything you intend to keep at the barn.  Don't keep anything there that you don't use everyday...take it home with you.

10.  Any mess you or your horse makes, you clean up.  If your vet or farrier makes a mess, you clean it up.  If your guest makes a mess, you clean it up.

11.  Some doorways are narrow..3 feet or so...they are for people to use and not horses...only bring your horse through the wide doorways.

12.  Guests are to stay with you, children of your guests are not to be running around unattended...keep them with you at all times.

13.  You may bring your dog to the property if you keep it on a leash...and, of course, if it poops you should clean it up (per prior rules).

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

OK, I have tried to explain all of these. :)

1) Don't do anything dumb with your horse. Or if you are unsure about what you're doing, have somebody who knows horses WELL supervise. Always wear a helmet and practice proper procedures.

2) In hand means they must always have a rider/hand with them on a lead rope. Never ridden. So you can't ride in on your horse.

3) You can only use the halter hooks on your halter, connected to the lead rope. Don't use them for anything else... ?

4) No glass containers in any cement floor area. This one is simple. If knocked over and broken, this could cause LOTS of trouble. :)

5) I'm guessing there are hands working at your barn that clean the stall out. If you bring your horse back into the stall to saddle her and she has an 'accident', you are required to clean this up. Not the hands who normally muck out the stall.

6) Basically, don't take too long tacking up in the cross ties. This would occupy a tacking station that could be used by a horse and rider that needed it at that moment.

7) Don't turn your horse out into the indoor or outdoor arena. If there are paddocks/pastures for that, turn him out there. If you let your horse go in the arena, this just causes trouble for riders trying to use the arena.

8) Keep grooming kits out of barn aisles, walk-ways, etc.

9) You should mark your equipment as yours. For brushes etc. I would suggest a sharpie with your initials, or for tack Or you can wrap some duct tape around your stirrup/bridle reins then mark it with your initials.

10) If you make a mess in the cross ties, clean it up. Or anywhere else, come to think of it.

11) No bringing horses where only human traffic is supposed to be entering/exiting.

12) If you want to bring any friends/family members to the barn, make sure you are there with them.

13) Do not bring your pet to the barn.

Hope this helped!

Answer 3

What don't you understand?

Everything is perfectly worded to avoid confusion here.

I'll go through it and put my spin on it

1) Safety, safety, safety!!

**Always have that in mind.  Don't take chances and always plan ahead.**

2) Horses are brought into the barn “in hand” and not allowed to be free in the barn aisle.

**Do not ride your horse into the barn.  Do not ride your horse out of the barn (see rule #1).  In hand means you are leading them.  Do not let your horse wander around, untied or unstalled while you gather your gear.  See Rule #1.**

3) Halter hooks on the stall doors are provided and limited to a halter and lead rope only.

**The hooks you see on the stall door is for the halter your horse wears and a lead line.  Do not store extra halters or your bridles here.**

4) No glass containers allowed in any cement floor area.

**See rule #1.  Shattered glass is a danger to all around. **

5) Horses tacked in their stall require the owner to re-clean the stall if the horse soils the stall that is already cleaned for the day.

**Be courteous.  If you put your horse in the stall to saddle up/groom and he leaves a nice manure pile...clean it up!  The night manager does not want to have to clean that stall when it's time to put everyone in at night.  If you don't clean it your horse MAY end up with a dirty stall for the evening.

The barn manager/barn maintenance are not your personal barn slaves.**

6) The tacking stations and aisleway cross ties are not for long term tie stalls. Horses are groomed and tacked up in a reasonable amount of time, to allow other horses use of the tacking stations or cross ties.

**Don't leave your horse cross tied while you go off to have a lunch break or yack with your friends.  Tack up and get out.  See rule #1**

7) The indoor and outdoor arenas are not turnouts for unattended horses.

**Be courteous to others that may want to ride.  Using the arenas as turnout will actually destroy it.  Don't do it unless the barn manager gives you an ok**

8) Keep grooming kits out of walk-way areas.

**See rule #1.  This is a safety hazard and fire hazard.  Plus it looks tacky and cluttered**

9) Boarders are encouraged to find a permanent means to mark all equipment, and to keep extraneous, non-essential, and off-season items at home.

**Deter theft and keep bickering and accusations at a minimum.  Permanent Marker/Engraving your items with your name.  Keep blankets, shipping boots, wraps, etc.. items not used daily at home and bring only when you use them.  Don't use more room than anyone else does.  Be courteous**

10) Keep the barn tidy for everyone. If you use the cross ties, please pick up and sweep up any droppings, farrier's residue, and hair clipped or brushed from your horse.

**Again be courteous.  The barn manager and maintenance are not walking behind you to sweep up.  Don't act like a spoiled brat.  Clean up after your horse and yourself.**

11) Horses are not to be led through any human doorway, but taken only through the large doors to access out door riding or trailering.

**Rule #1 again.  Don't take chances!**

12) Guests must be accompanied by a boarder, and the accompanying boarder is responsible for any young children brought with their guests.

**To keep tabs on potential thieves.  If they are accompanied then they are less likely to be there scoping out the tack and horses and security.   Rule #1: Young children need to be watched.  It's not the duty of other boarders to watch those small children you bring.  You are not paying the other boarders to babysit! YOU watch them.  If a horse runs them over its YOUR fault**

13) Unleashed or unattended dogs or other pets are not allowed on the property.

**Rule #1 and courteous.  Nothing worse than an nutty dog chasing the horses or a horse that is terrified of a loose dog in her corral.  Barking dogs are an irritation when you are trying to train.  TIE UP THE DOGS and keep by your side.

Constant barking dogs need to be removed.  BE COURTEOUS TO OTHERS.  You don't know their horses background and issues***

That's how I interpret it. :)

Answer 5

1. SAFETY! This a comon sense approach to EVERYTHING in life! Use good judgement, don't take chances. Horses are big and accidents are looking for a place to happen!

2.Walk you horse to the barn on a short rope. CONTROL is a MUST to prevent and/or lessen any accident. It is courtesy to have control of your animal. Even if it isn't a horse.

3. Halter hooks are for your halter and leadrope. Easy access in case of emergency and shows organization in your area. Besides if you hang your bridle,tack, etc. it clutters the hook, temptation of theft is there, and if you need your halter in a hurry you must DIG for it. Keep it simple and neat-one halter and lead! Mark your name on it-many halters look the same!

4.Anything glass will break when dropped on cement. Broken glass flying can cut and or permanetly damage an animal or person for life. Plastic is cheap and wonderful around horses for drink bottles, medicine bottles, and personal items. Accidents happen-no glass around horses period is a better rule.

5. IF your stall has just been cleaned and your horse needs to leave his necessary items behind then just clean the stall. Pick up after you animal. It keeps the smell down for EVERYONE! That is why we have pooper scoopers of all sizes.

6.Tack up and leave! Don't sit around and talk while others are waiting. Don't leave your horse unattended. It's similiar to 10 minute parking. It's there to help you. Don't abuse it. I wonder if they have horse removal where  as cars can be towed?! Just kidding! Tacking areas are for SAFETY. Tack up there and go so the next person can use that area to tack up or untack. If you groom/clip your horse sweep up the hair, any droppings your horse left, and anything you use return it to its proper place.

7.Arenas are for riding only. Don't turn you horse loose in there. SAFETY (that word again) a loose horse can cause a rider and/horse to be injured. Loose horse want ot run and kick and might spook or kick another horse and rider.

8. PICK UP YOU STUFF! Items left out can cause someone to fall, a horse to spook, any a number of things can happen.  USE COMMON SENSE! If something is on the floor-pick it up. Someone might have dropped an item and not realized it. Don't assume (*** out of U and ME) just prevent a problem before it happens! SAFETY! (yes that word again)!

9. Mark you equipment!! Name, but law enforcement recommends you rdrivers license  number marked on everything! Especially saddles and trailers somewhere only you know where it is (under conchos, underneath the skirting in the leather, metal dee rings, etc.) more than one place is recommended. Sometimes people accidently pick up an item that look like theirs. If someone has your ? , ask first, don't be rude! Happens a lot with brushes. Most time it is a honest mistake. You can make friends this way and if you are the one to pick up the wrong stuff then just apologize and go on. I have made many friends in this case and have been on both sides of this problem. Last but not least-bring only what you need to the barn. Don't use it as a storage area-temptation to those who will steal-and too much stuff causes clutter, no organization, asking for an accident!

10. This and nine run together. PICK up yur stuff!  Don't throw down your trash! "Leave only footprints and hoofprints" My quote! If you see something unsafe..FIX IT or REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY! Once again return everything you use to its proper place. Clean up any hair, droppings, trash, soda cans, etc. you used. IF you think a horse is sick or injured and no one is around who is responsible then REPORT IT IMMEDIATELY to the barn owner!!!!!

11.Don't EVER allow a horse to go through a small (human) doorway. You could get hurt, your horse could get hurt, and/ or  someone trying to go thru may also get hurt!! It's easy for a horse to catch a stirrup and SPOOK! The horse may run thru the doorway and run over a person   and/or another horse (use common sense) don't take short cuts! SAFETY!

12.YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR GUESTS! Children are curious and can quickly wander off. YOU are responsible for anything they do! Advise them of the barn rules before you allow them to enter. Educate them on horse safety or keep them outside if in doubt. Don't allow kids to run around in the barn. SAFETY for everyone!

13.No dogs. I have  a GREAT DOG.....BUT horses see dogs as a threat especially if a mare has a colt, and can/will bite, kick at a dog they don't know. Some dogs will bark, growl, bite at a horse or people they don't know! So don't take your dog to the barn. SAFETY (don't ever ignore this word) FIRST! There is no excuse for not be safe! People can be permantly injured or killed because of one little slip up of a safety rule. Don't be Sorry-be safe! Leashed well mannered or small dogs in your hand can be tolerated as long as they don't disturb the horses or the people around the horses. If I had one complaint I would tell them to remove the dog. This happened at a horse show where a dog was tied to an arena fence and was disrupting the class (and was also unattended). That dog should haven ever been brought near the arena.  It cause some folks to place lower in the class simply because the horses were acting bad toward the dog and/or avoiding the fence (points off) at the area.

These rules are fair,  and are for everyone so that the barn is a safe place for horse people to gather and ride and is built for the comfort of the horses. I am surprised though that a "NO SMOKING" rule was not posted.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I think the owner of this barn has covered everything imaginable.

Below are the meanings:

1. Safety - means what it says "BE SAFE" & follow rules

2.  You lead the horse in with a halter.

3.  When you tie a horse, use the halter hooks.  Do not hang laundry, rags, dogs on the halter hooks!

4. Leave your glass containers at home.

5. If your horse makes a mess after the stall is cleaned, you clean it up! (I might leave it for the next day)...JUST KIDDING

6. OMG!!  Learn to brush & tack your horse QUICKLY.  Start your stop watch!   lol

7. Do not turn your horse loose in the arenas & walk away.

8.  Put your stuff away if you're not using it.

9.  Mark  all your belongings with your initials.  Winter Thermo blankets must be kept somewhere else during the summer.

10.  Clean up after yourself!

11.  If a door is not wide enough for a horse, don't try to alter it!

12. You are responsible for the safety of your guests no matter what age they are.

13.  Pets must be on a leach at all times & accompanied by a handler.

By the looks of these rules, I think it would be safe to say that this stable has had lots of problems in the past!!!

Answer 10

My colloquial translation:

1) Safety, safety, safety!!

Means:  Be on your toes at all times, think about what you are doing and how it affects the safety of you and others.  Never fudge on a safety matter, even for just a sec.

2) Horses are brought into the barn “in hand” and not allowed to be free in the barn aisle.

Means:  You must have control of your horse on lead in the barn, not loose.  Notice it doesn't just mean he has to be on a lead...you have to be in control...not letting him mosey from place to place while you're distracted at the other end of a long lead.

3) Halter hooks on the stall doors are provided and limited to a halter and lead rope only.

Hang your halter and lead on the hook on your stall...nothing else...no girth, no helmet, no reins, no extra jods, undergarments, etc...nothing but the halter and lead

4) No glass containers allowed in any cement floor area.

Isn't this one pretty obvious?  You can't take glass into an area that has a concrete or cement floor.

5) Horses tacked in their stall require the owner to re-clean the stall if the horse soils the stall that is already cleaned for the day.

HUH????  I suppose it's a scheduling issue...if you leave your horse tacked in its stall when it's supposed to either be on turn out or used, and it poops, you scoop.  I think it probably means there is a schedule for cleaning and if your horse is in there, you clean it yourself, or if the stall has already been cleaned for the day, you clean it.

6) The tacking stations and aisleway cross ties are not for long term tie stalls. Horses are groomed and tacked up in a reasonable amount of time, to allow other horses use of the tacking stations or cross ties.

Don't hog the tacking stations, don't use them as a holding area (so your stall can be cleaned by the cleaner instead of you, for instance)

7) The indoor and outdoor arenas are not turnouts for unattended horses.

Arenas are for use by riders, you shouldn't turn your horse loose in either arena.

8) Keep grooming kits out of walk-way areas.

Obvious...

9) Boarders are encouraged to find a permanent means to mark all equipment, and to keep extraneous, non-essential, and off-season items at home.

People may steal your stuff...

10) Keep the barn tidy for everyone. If you use the cross ties, please pick up and sweep up any droppings, farrier's residue, and hair clipped or brushed from your horse.

So don't be a slob, pick up after yourself and your horse.

11) Horses are not to be led through any human doorway, but taken only through the large doors to access out door riding or trailering.

Duh...

12) Guests must be accompanied by a boarder, and the accompanying boarder is responsible for any young children brought with their guests.

Don't bring inexperienced folk to the barn and turn them loose to be a menace upon the equine community. Double for children, quadruple for misbehaving children.

13) Unleashed or unattended dogs or other pets are not allowed on the property.

Don't let your dog/cat/iguana /gerbil run amok.  You may love them and your horse may yawn at them...might not be true for others.

Answer 11

Can you let us know which specific rules you don't understand?

These rules are so simple and easy to understand that I cannot imagine that you actually need help understanding them.  If you do, then maybe you are not ready to have a horse there.

Answer 12

All sounds perfectly reasonable and common sense stuff.

Always consider safety - think about what you are doing and take care not to put yourself or others at risk.

Bring your horse in or out haltered even if you don't think he needs it - it makes other people feel safer and if anything happens at least you have hold of him.

Don't hang bags and random stuff on the doors it looks bad and things can fall, get caught or cause accidents.

No breakable items - if stuff gets broken people and/or horses can get hurt. A bottle dropped on a cement floor doesn't just break - it shatters and bits go everywhere making it a big job to find all the pieces.

If you take the horse into a clean stable and he poops - you clean it up.

don't loiter in the aisles or crossties.Do what you need and then get out of the way so other people can use the facility - saves arguments.

Don't use arenas as turnout - this always causes a problem with people who want to use the arena but can't because there are loose horses in it.

Don't leave your stuff in the way - it's dangerous and can cause accidents.

Mark your gear so it can't be mistaken or wander off - that way if your stuff ends up in someone else's box it's pretty obvious who it belongs to.

Don't store your summer stuff there all winter and your winter stuff all summer - if you're not using it take it home.There is only so much storage space. Having unused stuff piled up makes cleaning difficult and could also become a fire hazard.

Clean up your own mess - don't leave it for someone else - they don't like it and you wouldn't like it done to you either.

Use the horse doors for horses - even if it means waiting your turn, don't take the short cut through the people doors as again it's dangerous and can cause accidents etc.

don't send your friends or family round to visit unless you are with them - fairly sensible, they need to know who people are with so things and horses can't go missing. Having random people turning up at all times is a major security issue. You are responsible for their behavior and any damage or upset they may cause, if you don't want to take the blame for bad behavior then don't take people who you think may cause a problem. Small children running around unsupervised around horses are a serious safety risk. ( This can also be taken as -if you bring a visitor and they manage to get hurt then they can't sue the barn because you accepted the fact that you were responsible, don't know if this argument would stand up in court, but it would probably depend on the type of accident.)

keep hold of your dog. Your dog may be fine and calm around horses but what if there's another dog about and they don't like each other ? If everyone keeps control of their dogs that's fine. ( Most places I know won't even allow dogs so they are being really nice with this)

What's the problem exactly ?

Answer 13

which rule are you talking about they are all easy to understand and very straight forward, so if you could be a little more specific tht would be great, and you will probably find the answer your question :)

Answer 14

They seem very clear to me.  Good rules as well.

1. Don't do anything stupid.  Think about what you're doing.

2.You have to lead your horse into the barn, not ride and the horse can't be loose and running around on it's own.

3.you can keep a halter and lead on the hook by the stall but nothing else.  One halter, one lead.

4. Just don't bring glass containers to the barn.  They hit concrete, they break, someone or some horse gets cut.

5.They're only going to clean the stall once a day.  If your horse poops or pees while you're there, Clean It Up.

6. Get all your grooming supplies and tack together before you put your horse in the cross ties and don't wander away and start talking.  Other people need to use them so don't mess around.

7.Don't turn loose of your horse anywhere but his pasture.  

8. Don't put your grooming kit where someone can trip over it.

9. People have been know to take things so put your name on all your stuff so you can prove it's yours.  There isn't a lot of room for tack and things here so if you don't use it regularly leave it at home.

10.  Keep things clean.  If you make a mess or your horse does or someone who is at the barn because of you or your horse then YOU clean it up!

11. Don't take the horse through anything other than the large doors.  If the door is the size of one in your house it's a people only door.

12. Guests cause trouble and are a liability.  Insurance companies don't like barns to have guests in them.  So you make sure no one disobeys a rule or gets hurt or does something stupid.

13.  Just leave your dog at home.

Answer 15

1. be safe

2. have a halter and leadrope on your horse while leading it into the barn

3. you are only allowed to put a halter and lead rope on the hooks

10-clean up after yourself and horse

11-dont walk thru human doorways with horses

12-no guest allowed without you present and if your guests have children with them you are considered responsible for them

13-no pets allowed

Answer 17

um... you're confused? those are pretty clear to me.

1. safety is the first priority. for instance, if your horse has a wound on his belly, do not lay underneath your horse to look at it! if your horse has a wound on his heel, you're not gonna bend down and put your face close up to it so that you can see it better... because all these things are dangerous! and always wear a helmet when riding.

2. "in- hand" means being led. do not ride your horse into the barn. do not let your horse loose inside the barn.

3. hooks are on the stall door for you to hand your horse's halter and lead. anything else may not be hung there.

4. when standing on a cement floor, do not have any glass containers with you, for if they fall, they will break, and broken glass on a floor is dangerous.

5. if you tack your horse inside of his stall, you must pick out the poo and pee if he did with you there and only if the stall was already cleaned.

6. do not keep your horse tied for a long period of time in cross ties or in a tacking station, because that is not what they are for. so, if you have to go run a 5- minute errand, don't leave your horse tied in a tacking station or in cross ties.

7. do not leave your horse turned out in any arena like it's his pasture.

8. keep your grooming kits out of the aisle ways so that others do not trip over them or potentially use/ steal them.

9. people who board are encouraged to mark all of their stuff so that if they lose it and someone finds it, they know who to return it to.

10. clean up after your horse if he poos or pees in the cross ties. also clean up his hoof trimmings after the farrier is done working or sweep up his fur after it has been clipped off.

11. do not bring your horse through a doorway intended for people's use. use the barn doors.

12. if you have guests that do not board there, they must be with you at all times. you are responsible for them and anyone else with them.

13. dogs or any other animal that is loose are not allowed on the property.

is it clear to you now?

Answer 18

Sounds like a GREAT set of rules .... actually think I will copy them and give them to our management ......

Basically .... be safe ... pick up after yourself and your horse .... be polite .... and don't have more junk around than you need!

Answer 19

1) They don't want people acting stupid.

2) Don't ride into the barn or have your horse following you. The have to be in a halter and on a lead/tied at all times.

3) They give you a hook to put on the stall. You can only have a halter with lead on it. No bridle or flymask or muzzel.

4) I vote no glass anywhere. This just means dont bring anything glass where it can be dropped and break into pieces dangerous for the horse or people.

5) If it was clean when you got there it better be clean when you leave. If your horse leaves p**p in the barn area you have to clean it up.

6) Dont tack your horse up or bring him in and leave for lunch. Other people need to use that space. Aslso, dont take an hour to tack up especially if people are waiting.

7) Dont let your stall bound crazy with energy horse loose in the arena to get the run/buck out of him. The arena is for riding.

8) Horses will step in or p**p in tack boxes which is dangerous and nasty. Keep them picked up and out of the way.

9) If your name is on it chances are it wont get stolen or will get returnedif lost. Dont leave you dead of winter blanket in the tack room in July.

10) Again you/your horse makes the mess you clean it up!

11) Horses are not to be in the office/tack room/feed room. The barn has entrence/exit doors the horses can use.

12) You bring them, your problem. We (the barn) will not watch you guests children while you/they ride.

13) Dogs are a safty hazard. Keep them leashed or better yet leave them at home.

Ma explinations......

Answer 20

A summary:

Always be safe.

Clean up after yourself and keep things tidy.

Don't hog the common areas.

If there's something specific you don't understand, please say so. These are very elementary rules, and explaining them all would take too long. And, if you don't understand these, you probably wouldn't really understand the explanation, either.
