Normandy Blanketing
Guidelines
Please be aware of the following that may affect you and your horse.


· Exterior doors are closed when outside weather is adverse or if the temperature has fallen/will fall below 35 degrees.
· Boarders paying for blanketing are listed on our schedule by the East locker room. Blankets are tagged by us for identification. We are storing them in the barn end storerrooms when removed. The temperature guidelines are as follows:

· We turnout horse when the temperature reaches 40 degrees or when we feel its safe.
· Full coated horses are unblanketed at 50 degrees.
· Clipped horses are unblanketed at 60 degrees. Clipped horses must always have a sheet on.

· Boarders not paying for blanketing must also follow these guidelines for your horses comfort and safety. As always upon non adhearence 2x we will handle this and you will be billed for this service.
A word about announcing your entrance through a closed door.
Please, please, please announce door, wait for a response and then open the doors slowly. We have new visibility doors at the West and East entrances to help. Always closed the door behind you slowly. We have new heaters for the washing areas at each end, and this will keep us all safe and comfortable for the winter.
