Protocol

Millhaven is dedicated to providing superior horse care and a place where riders can enjoy their horses in a clean, pleasant environment. We try to keep rules to a minimum; those that follow help us take better care of your horses, run the farm more efficiently and keep us all safe.

We request that each boarder...

*Use only a breakaway halter on your horse.

*Provide a salt block in your stall and replace as needed.

*Sign a liability release form and have guests sign one too if they'll be riding or handling your horse.

*Wear an ASTM-certified helmet when you ride!

*Provide special care your horse may need such as foot soaking or hand walking; we'll fill in when you can't be here.

*Label sheets or blankets with your horse's name.

*Pay board on time. Board is due the 1st of each month. After the 5th, there is a $3 per day late fee.

*Clean up after your horse in the aisles and wash stalls.

*Remember that everyone has equal access to the facilities at all times. Riders share the facilities.

*Ride anytime you like! Since the barn is also our residence, however, we appreciate it if night riders try to finish up by around 9:30 to 10:00 pm.

*Turn out lights as soon as you no longer need them.

*If you ever have to leave Millhaven, give 30 days notice.



New horses coming to Millhaven Horse Farm must have a current Coggins. It is very helpful for us to also have a record of the past year's vaccination and worming schedule.

Policy on Dogs

At Millhaven, we love dogs but they can cause accidents when horses are around. Therefore, dogs visiting Millhaven must be leashed or be extremely obedient with voice command. They must be kept away from horses, whether horses are in-hand, in cross-ties or under saddle, and dogs are strictly forbidden from entering our pastures. Dogs may play off leash with supervision only if no horses are present. Last but not least, please clean up after your dog if he or she goes in the riding ring or arena!
