Nutrition
In addition to pasture and high quality hay included in full board, horses at SEC can be supplemented Sargent's Low Carb Feed (SLCF) at additional cost. SLCF is a palatable low carb, high fat, feed which is formulated for us by King Feed of Salinas after analysis of our hay and pasture. Fed as a mash daily to both stalled and pasture horses, SLCF is a beet pulp based feed supplemented with the needed micronutrients to assure that each horse receives a balanced and complete diet. Horses stalled overnight are fed three times a day, and two times a day if stalled over day.
Additional supplements purchased by the owner can be fed at no cost, for horses in full board, or with an additional fee.
Additional Services
Arrangements can be made for virtually any service to your horse, including but not limited to: grooming, bathing, clipping, blanketing, fly prevention, and booting up. Depending on the board program you choose, these services may come at additional charge. Services may be arranged on a regular basis or you can order them as needed, such as a spring bath and clip for a pastured horse, or special attention and grooming for your horse when you are out of town.
Special Services
The SEC staff will work with you and your veterinarian to provide wound care, administer medications, and develop and implement graduated exercise and turn-out programs as required. All SEC horses are required to be on an effective worming program and to have their feet cared for regularly. These services can be scheduled by SEC and recharged to the owner if desired.
