EP 55: Designing the Landscape of Your Horse Farm

Are the southwest breezes picking up the manure pile odors and sending them into your kitchen window?

As we wrap up 2020 talking about how we can improve our horses’ wellbeing by improving their environments, today’s discussion is a continuation of that theme with a focus on property design. 

This episode is proudly sponsored by Lucas Equine Equipment, makers of fine quality stall components and accessories.

Historically, most horse farms were designed and built with human needs in mind, The horses’ needs weren’t necessarily ignored, but they were (and often still are) secondary in the design and planning phases of equestrian properties. But, as we build new farms and update existing ones, we have the chance to change that. We have the chance to create properties that allow our hoses to live within the human construct while still satisfying their basic needs; needs that, when met, create happier, healthier, and better performing athletes– in all disciplines and at all levels.

This is the first in a series on designing horse farms for the 21st century. Our guest is award-winning Landscape Architect, Deborah Cerbone, who will walk us through some of the essential things to consider when first looking at building or renovating a horse farm. Listen in!

EP 54: A New Kind of Turnout for Healthy Hooves

We know so much more about our horses needs today than we did 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Research, technology, and the internet have allowed us to learn and share information about horse care like never before. One of things we have learned of late is that healthy horses and hooves depend a lot not just on how much time horses are turned out, but what they do while out there. 

Paddock Paradise, introduced to the horse world by Jamie Jackson back in 2007, and based on his extensive research of wild American horses, is gradually becoming a more common fixture in American horsekeeping plans. Europe has been on board with this paradigm shift for quite a while. Perhaps it’s time we Americans start re-thinking our property layouts, too.  Listen in!

Paddock Paradise isn’t complicated, and it is appropriate for any geographic area of the world.

EP 53: Takeaways from a Bernie Traurig Clinic

The Stall and Stable Pro Clinic series was created to bring high caliber horse professionals to the tiniest state in the nation – Rhode Island. Nestled in between 2 powerhouse cities – Boston and New York, the horse-friendly Ocean State has many resident equestrians, but limited opportunities for upper level clinicians. Rhode Island competes with our big brother and sister cities in many areas, so creating a boutique-style experience for the riders in our state is an important goal for the Stall and Stable team. And, as we schedule, attend, and analyze these clinics, we’re in a good position to share our experiences (and some tips for hosting clinics) with you, our listeners. 

We were pleased to welcome the legendary USET competitor and coach, Bernie Traurig to the farmcoast last weekend. Offered in partnership with Seapowet Stables in Tiverton, Rhode Island, a small group of riders and auditors got the chance to experience top-level instruction that was surprisingly simple. Listen in!

EP 52: A Happy Barn Starts with Good Leadership

When you walk into a barn, can you sense the overall energy of the place? Are the horses happy? Is the barn clean and tidy. How are you greeted by the staff? All of these details are driven by one thing… the barn manager. Good energy in a barn starts with good leadership and works its way down to the tiniest of elements – and creatures. 

My guest today is Chelsea Canedy of Canedy Horsemanship & Performance in Wales, Maine. Chelsea’s story will, in some ways, sound familiar to many of you, but what changed her trajectory as a horse professional and barn owner, is intriguing. In commercial boarding barns, keeping a diverse group of horses and riders happy can be challenging, but happiness starts within. Listen in!
