Shedding Season = Hair Patrol!

It’s that time of year when our horses are shedding their winter coats, and we all end up wearing a little extra horse hair on our clothes!

When grooming, you’ll notice quite a bit of loose hair left behind on the stall mats. For the horses’ wellbeing, please take a moment to pick up all loose hair and dispose of it in the bin by the tack rooms.


Removing hair from the ground is important because it:

  • Prevents horses from eating or inhaling it

  • Helps keep stalls clean and healthy

  • Supports overall comfort and wellbeing


You may also notice that bedding has been removed from many stalls. As temperatures warm up, bedding can become dusty. Removing it helps improve air quality and keeps the respiratory environment as clear and comfortable as possible for our horses.


Thank you for helping keep our horses healthy, comfortable, and breathing easy, your attention to these seasonal details truly matters!
