Owning equestrian homes can require a lot of maintenance and upkeep. Whether you’re looking to increase resale value, make it profitable or simply maintain your property at an optimum level, there a few important strategies to keep in mind.
Special attention should be paid to any grass or pastures that your horses or any other animals may graze on. Make sure that there are no weeds, as they can be poisonous to the horses. Also, try to move the horses around regularly so that they don’t graze on the same area all the time—you always want to allow for areas that are freshly grazed to be left alone for awhile so that there is time for fresh grass to grow.
When it comes to equestrian homes, the fence is also a critical element to pay attention to. It not only keeps your horses from straying, it marks your property’s boundaries. If your fences are wood, regularly check to make sure there is no rotting and that no nails are protruding. If you have fences made of vinyl, always check for cracks, which can quickly become holes when unattended to.
Luckily, in the desert community, we don’t get a lot of rainfall. However, you’ll want to make sure that your plot of land has proper drainage so that the horses’ hooves are never exposed to mud.
