For the Safety or Convenience of All Our Boarders
The State Of Idaho requires any horse(s) transported into the State to have a current negative Coggins Test prior to and certification thereof accompanying the horse during such transport. A current Certificate of Veterinary Inspection is also required and a copy thereof should accompany the horse during transport. Some states require a Brand Inspection for transport out of or through their state. Check with your appropriate authorities or your veterinarian as to these requirements prior to transporting through all states in route. All horses will be quarantined upon arrival for a period of two (2) weeks before being released into the general population or allowed to have any direct contact with other boarders. During the Quarantine Period each horse will receive a complete physical examination including any required blood testing by a local veterinarian to insure a sound and disease free condition. We reserve the right to refuse boarding of any horse(s) that, in our opinion, embraces a disposition and/or frequently demonstrates behavior that we feel could be detrimental or dangerous to other boarders and/or our personnel.
Board charges are on a monthly basis invoiced quarterly approximately 30 days in advance. Scheduled optional services or non scheduled infrequent services are billed separately monthly as they occur and are due upon receipt of invoice. Invoicing, client statements, periodically (at least bimonthly) updated photographs, occasional video and text updates (again at least bimonthly) on their horse are available via their own personal webpage on our website, www.RandRforHorses.com, accessible only with their personal login and password.
