Horse Farm and Ranch Planning and Management

Horse Property Planning, Development, and Management
From one acre to hundreds of acres, every site has it's own attributes and challenges. Every person has their own
purpose or dream. Whether you are a single person with a single horse or a breeder with a herd of breeding  stock, a
casual trail rider or a multi-discipline equestrian center manager, you will likely  have questions about how to build or
remodel your farm to best suit the individual needs of your horse or horses, your clients, your service providers, and
yourself.

It is important to begin with the end in mind. Where to put the buildings, how to prioritize the improvements to meet
your budget and schedule goals, what the look of your farm will be, are all important factors. None of them, however,
can be truly decided upon without first knowing what it is you want to end up with. This requires some serious thought.
For example... "Do I always want to have just one or two horses, or is there a possibility that somewhere down the
line I may want to take in a couple of boarders?"   Do I value my privacy, or do I enjoy the social aspect boarding can
bring? Are the risks worth the rewards? Do I someday want to try to profit from all the hard work of horsekeeping,
or am I really just looking to enjoy my horse and my time? What is most important to me - budget, beauty, efficiency
or being "green"? Can I satisfy all my priorities?  The more time you think about  the possibilities, and the more
resources you put into planning, the less likely you will be wishing you had done it differently.

There is a lot to consider when planning a horse farm. The difference between one that works and one that does not
is the many small details that are easy to miss when faced with the overwhelming amount of decisions you will need to
make

No matter what the soils, weather or existing condition of your land, it can be  challenging to  create a beautiful,
productive landscape for horses. Getting a really great horse property  that combines beauty, efficiency, ample
grazing, and harmony with nature can only be done with good planning. For a fraction of the cost of doing it over and
none of the headaches of an unplanned, poorly designed, or poorly managed horse farm you can have a one that works
great.

    Horse places are seldom designed by people with  direct
    experience.  Penny Stone has 26 years experience and
    education in design, horse keeping, training, teaching and
    ecology. This exceptional combination of skills gives her the
    ability to design a facility to work flawlessly for your and your
    horses .Penny offers site assessment and farm design and
    management plans. Her unique perspective combines horse
    keeping and ecology.  She can help you plan and create your
    horse farm, and can follow through with continuing consultation
    as you learn the ropes of good management.

Other horse woners are envious!

most of my natural resources while
keepingmy fencing costs down.

Penny helped me redevelop my
property so that mud and muck
are a thing of the past. Chores
are so much easier, and there
are more options for pastures
and grazing.
And my new barn is awesome!
