"And he whispered to the horse, trust no man in whose eyes you do not see yourself reflected as an equal." -Unknown

 

For the senior horse to maintain optimal orthopedic and intestinal health, our horses spend as much time in the pasture as nature will allow.   They are only stalled when temperatures reach below freezing, cold rain and thunderstorms.   Shelter is provided at all times.
