For Your Horse For the length of your visit with us here at Stoneleigh your horse will be provided with a stall, shavings, hay and water buckets. Cleaning your horse s pen daily will be your responsibility and it s a great opportunity to develop your relationship (if we have to clean it, a very large fee will be charged to you!!) There are wheelbarrows, forks and rakes provided. Facilities are available to soak hay if required. If your horse requires hard feed and supplements please bring these with you. There is a place to store them and you may wish to bring a feed bin to put it in. We have an optional watering program at the Parelli Centre. We highly recommend that you bring your horse water or you take your horse to water throughout the day instead of keeping water in the pen. This is to help you and your horse build a strong bond in a short amount of time and the difference it makes is phenomenal. However, this program is up to you. You are free to leave a full bucket of water in the pen all day if you desire.
