4 Essential Pieces of Equipment You Should Have on Your Charlottesville VA Horse Farm

4 Essential Pieces of Equipment You Should Have on Your Charlottesville VA Horse Farm

Managing and maintaining a horse farm is not an easy task, however, it is something that every horse owner should incorporate into their daily routine to keep their horses in tip-top shape. Getting all the help you need to maintain your Charlottesville VA horse farm is certainly beneficial; and this starts by having the right equipment around.

4 Essential Pieces of Equipment You Should Have on Your Charlottesville VA Horse Farm

Here are some essential pieces of equipment that you’ll need to have in your farm.

The right vehicle

Transportation for your horses is one of the first things that you should think about. The number of horses you will move and the distance you will generally travel will determine the kind of truck and trailer you need to buy. Trailers can range in size from a two horse tag along trailer to a 5 horse head to head gooseneck to a tractor trailer. While a two horse can be pulled easily by a Subarban or a ¾ ton pick up truck, bigger trailers would mean getting a truck with higher towing capacity—something that you should discuss with your car dealership.

Stall fans

You want to make sure that your horses get the best level of comfort in your horse farm in Charlottesville VA and ventilation is important. Stalls can get a little bit warm and stuffy, so installing stall fans will keep a steady flow of air into and out of the stable. The right kind of stall fan should be installed in your barn. Simple house fans or box fans do not have their motors sealed and can be permeated by dust. This can cause the motor to malfunction which may lead to a fire. You should always use commercial-grade fans wherever possible. Exhaust fans in the loft or peak will help keep the barn comfortable in the summer months.

Handcarts

Yet another basic tool is the handcart. This load carrying equipment is very easy to use, convenient to store, and requires almost no amount of maintenance (except for washing it on occasion). The market is filled with amazing options. Many are designed so that they can be moved easily even on uneven ground. All you need to do is find the one with a size that is enough to transport all the materials you move to and fro on the farm.

Manure Spreader

In taking good care of the entire horse farm, it is important not to forget about the soil. Keeping the soil healthy is also a part of keeping your Charlottesville VA equestrian property in its best condition. A fantastic idea to contribute to the health of the soil is the use of a manure spreader. Since manure is a great source of fertilizer for crop production, its proper management can be used to cultivate feeds for your horses. And of course you will need the proper size tractor to pull your manure spreader and mow the fields.

Having a well-maintained horse farm will ensure that your horses are in their best condition―and having the right equipment around is the first step. For more information on horse farms and other equestrian properties for sale in Central Virginia, please visit, www.JumpIntoGreenerPastures.com.

Tips for First-Time Buyers of Charlottesville Horse Farms

Tips for First-Time Buyers of Charlottesville Horse Farms

For anyone with the love and passion for horses, buying your very own horse farm for the first time is very exciting, indeed! Owning, setting up and maintaining a horse farm that will give the best possible conditions for your horses requires a lot of knowledge and experience. For first time owners, you would certainly have to start somewhere; and here are some useful tips for you not only to get started in the right direction but also to build the confidence needed in maintaining your own horse farm.

Tips for First-Time Buyers of Charlottesville Horse Farms

Lot size

Experienced owners suggest that one should consider the largest lot size that they can get. More often than not, buyers have underestimated this detail. Some might think that 25 acres is enough, but after considering everything that will go into that lot, 30 acres might seem the more appropriate size to buy. If in case the lot size to be purchased is limited, make sure that you properly plan what you will be putting into your horse farm and that it will fit into the available space. Remember that it is not just how many total acres the property consists of but how many acres are open and in pasture. Sometimes a smaller property may actually have more acreage that is usable for your horses than a larger one.

Water source

Yet another detail that is overlooked, especially by the inexperienced. Knowing whether there is a reliable and sufficient water source is important. Water is vital in maintaining a horse farm. It is also important to identify different parts of the land where water can be accessible. Different parts of a horse farm will need water therefore different water access areas will be needed. If there is not a stream that contains water year round to all of the fields and paddocks, you will need frost free hydrants to fill water troughs or even better, automatic waterers.

Number of Horses

Have you decided on how many horses you will care for in your Charlottesville horse farm? Do you have a good idea of how many you will need (or want) and how many will be appropriate, taking into consideration other aspects of your horse farm such as lot size, the stable, feeding capacity, etc. Your horses will be a factor in different decision making steps for the entire horse farm therefore it is important to be solid on how many you will need and how many you might add in the future. Another part of this equation, will be how your horses will live. Will they be in stalls and only going out for a few hours a day or will they be living out 24/7 and gaining much of their nutrition from pasture grasses. In the later case, you may want to factor in enough acreage in pasture to allow rotational grazing.

Topography

Charlottesville is as beautiful and awe-inspiring as it is perfect for setting up your horse farm. If you plan to own one, it is essential to consider the physical area where you will put your horse farm. It is crucial that you know every physical aspect of the land your purchasing and whether or not there are problems that need to be dealt with in order to prevent problems related to drainage, quality of the soil and the resulting quality of pasture. There is a lot to consider.
