Cricket Lane Equestrian

Dunnville, Ontario, CANADA

SITE:
Situated on 43 acres, Cricket Lane Equestrian offers some unique facilities.
The back 23 acres is private conservation land, with some beautiful riding and walking trails, as well as a walking archery range.
The front acreage is taken up with barns and paddocks, a hay field and the farm house.

BARNS:
As a converted chicken farm, the barns are huge, allowing for sufficient tack storage for boarders (a real pet peeve of Jordan's - not enough space for all his "stuff"...)
Each boarder will have a 4x11 ft tack area, a 6x11 ft standing stall (for grooming and tacking up) and (in the near future) a 10x13 ft box stall.
An indoor archery range is also in the plans.

RIDING FACILITIES:
As a new facility, our two outdoor riding areas are currently unimproved grass.
Improvements will be made as time allows.
As well, an indoor jousting list (40x175 ft) is in the works for 2009.

HORSE CARE:
Horses are pasture boarded during the day, and brought into a small outdoor paddock each night.
We believe that horses are outdoor animals, year 'round, and we don't bring them in to the barns, except in cases of very severe weather.
Horses are fed seasonally on grass (on site) and local certified organic bluegrass hay.
Hay analysis is done regularly, and a supplemental feeding regime is created to ensure the nutritional health of all horses year 'round.
There is a double fence between the horses and the rest of the world. The inner (paddock) fence is Electrobraid(TM) and the outer (perimeter) fence is Bayco Finish Line.
Scott Reed is the farrier and Paul Robinsion (Grand River Vet) is the veterinarian for Cricket Lane, though other farriers and vets are welcome, of course.

The obligatory barn cat...
